Peregrine Health - Redefining Behavioral Healthcare

 

Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW)

 

At Peregrine Health, we are building a community of providers dedicated to delivering high-quality, patient-centered behavioral healthcare.

Our approach prioritizes long-term patient impact, ensuring that behavioral health is a fundamental part of care.

 

We are looking for Licensed Independent Social Workers (LISWs) who are committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based therapy and care coordination. Our LISWs provide essential therapeutic support, crisis intervention, and resource navigation to help patients overcome behavioral health challenges. The best LISWs take a holistic view of patient well-being, integrating mental health care with broader social and environmental factors to create sustainable, effective care models that empower patients and communities.
