Reports to: Pamela Oberoi, Director of the Global Mental Health Program
Location: Hybrid – St. Paul, MN / Telehealth (Remote)

Our ideal candidate is a Clinical Trainee who is passionate about working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and is eager to grow as part of a compassionate, mission-driven team.

Who We Are

At Pathways, we believe that healing begins with understanding. Our Global Mental Health Program provides therapy for culturally diverse communities, grounded in respect, compassion, and cultural humility. Our team integrates clinical expertise with deep cultural awareness, supporting individuals as they navigate the challenges of trauma, and adjustment to new environments. 

Our Approach

Many struggle to access care that truly reflects their cultural experiences and stories. At Pathways, we are committed to closing this gap—providing evidence-based, respectful, and culturally responsive mental health services that restore hope and belonging.  We use an integrative, collaborative, and culturally grounded model, tailoring care to each person’s strengths, needs, and cultural identity. Our staff receive ongoing training, supervision, and cross-cultural consultation to ensure culturally informed and effective care. We proudly serve clients in their preferred languages through bilingual clinicians and professional interpreters. 

What Community and Culture Look Like at Pathways

At Pathways, we are built on shared leadership, mutual respect, and a deep commitment to both individual and collective thriving.  The way we treat each other is the culture, and our culture directly impacts the quality of care we deliver. A therapist can have flexibility in their work and still have people who know them, care about their development, and understand the demands of what they do. You can have somewhere to bring a question, people to learn with, and relationships that continue as their career grows. Our hope is a relationship that can grow with YOU, with clear expectations and people available to help throughout the work.

Clinical Trainees Pursuing Licensure

• SUPERVISION AT NO COST FOR ELIGIBLE CLINICIANS: Pathways provides qualifying licensure supervision for applicable LICSW, LMFT, and LPCC pathways through an approved supervisor qualified for the track. The arrangement is reviewed against the candidate’s requirements before clinical work begins. 
• SUPERVISION CONNECTED TO YOUR CLINICAL WORK: You can receive guidance while developing clinical judgment, serving clients, learning documentation expectations, and understanding the program in which you practice.

• ADDITIONAL PEOPLE AND RESOURCES: Clinical consultation, experienced colleagues, program leadership, documentation feedback, and training support your development alongside formal supervision. 

As You Become Independently Licensed

• Credentialing and contracting expertise help you navigate the next professional stage.
• Existing familiarity with systems, supervisors, and colleagues can carry forward too.
• Where clinical, payer, and role requirements allow, clients may be able to continue with you, the therapist they already trust.
• Your established service-volume tier carries into the licensed compensation structure when the applicable requirements are met. 

 Billing, Credentialing, And Contracting

• Bring your clinical skills into an organization equipped to support that work.
• A therapy practice has work around every clinical service: payer requirements, enrollment, claims, follow-up, documentation, and the systems that connect them.
• Pathways has already developed people and processes around those responsibilities. 

Credentialing And Payer Enrollment

• Our Credentialing Liaison supports credentialing and contracting with experience in payer applications, enrollment requirements, follow-up, and the steps clinicians encounter as they move into independently licensed practice.
• We provide help understanding and completing the complex process so you can focus on your primary work instead of having to develop that expertise alone. 

Payer Contracting and Administrative Systems

• Pathways provides support with the payer contracts and requirements relevant to the Pathways practice.
• Administrative support, electronic documentation systems, policies, procedures, and team communication are already established. 

Billing and Collections

• For services provided through Pathways, the organization handles billing and collections.

• APPOINTMENT TIMES THAT FIT YOUR LIFE: Depending on client needs, possibilities can include four longer days, earlier starts and earlier finishes, later starts, or some evening and weekend appointments.
• ROOM FOR FAMILY AND PERSONAL COMMITMENTS: Scheduling flexibility can help you arrange work around parenting, caregiving, appointments, and other priorities. 

Meetings and Time Away

• Required scheduled meetings are relatively limited and primarily remote.
• They may include clinical supervision or consultation, monthly documentation review and support, monthly team meetings or training, and weekly specialty-team meetings when applicable.
