Compassionate behavioral health technician skilled in patient care, communication, and multidisciplinary teamwork.
What I'm looking for
I am a behavioral health technician with a bachelor's degree in psychology and hands-on experience across clinical and service settings. My work spans inpatient behavioral health, community mental health, childcare, hospitality, and front-desk medical administration.
I provide direct patient care, perform vital signs, conduct 15-minute safety checks, create and lead therapy groups, and collaborate with treatment teams to analyze behaviors and support diagnoses. In prior roles I supported children in mental-health services, maintained daily clinical notes, and participated in plan-of-care meetings.
My background includes receptionist and dental-office experience where I handled scheduling, insurance interactions, filing, and patient-facing administrative duties. I bring strong organizational, communication, and multitasking skills and maintain HIPAA-compliant practices.
I hold CPR and First Aid certifications and enjoy learning new skills and adapting to diverse teams and populations. I am authorized to work in the U.S. and seek opportunities where I can contribute compassionate, reliable patient care and grow within behavioral health services.
