Behavioral Health Consultant

Empowering communities through accessible, inclusive, and compassionate care, this is the work we do every day.

At Jane Pauley Community Health Center , every role is connected to something bigger. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we deliver integrated, whole-person care to individuals and families across Indiana, regardless of income or insurance status.

Our teams work at the intersection of clinical excellence and community impact, supporting underserved populations while building a culture rooted in collaboration, respect, and growth. Here, you are not just joining a workplace, you are becoming part of a mission that truly matters.

Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC)

Jane Pauley Community Health Center | Integrated Primary Care Model

At Jane Pauley Community Health Center , we believe healthcare is about more than treating illness, it’s about caring for the whole person. As a mission-driven Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we provide comprehensive, compassionate, and accessible care to communities across Indiana.

We are seeking a Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) to join our integrated care team; an ideal opportunity for a licensed therapist who thrives in fast-paced, team-based environments and is passionate about whole-person care in primary or pediatric settings.

True integrated model – work side-by-side with medical providers in real time

Same-day impact – deliver immediate interventions that improve patient outcomes

Population health focus – influence care beyond traditional therapy models

Mission-driven work – serve diverse, often underserved populations

Collaborative culture – strong partnership with providers, care teams, and leadership
