W2 Employee Position Overview A growing outpatient neurology and psychiatry practice is seeking a Mental Health Therapist to join its Myrtle Beach, SC office. This role is designed for a therapist who wants to work in a collaborative outpatient setting with strong referral support from psychiatric providers, neurology providers, and external referral sources. The therapist will provide comprehensive behavioral health services, including assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, counseling, and other non-medical interventions. Most therapy referrals come internally from psychiatric providers, with additional referrals from neurology and outside sources. This is an on-site position.

The practice also serves children, adolescents, couples, and families when appropriate and attempts to accommodate a broad range of referrals.
