Eating Disorder Clinical Consultation, Training, and Assessment Services

The Alameda County Behavioral Health Department is seeking a credentialed eating disorder clinician to build the department's capacity to serve clients diagnosed with eating disorders in outpatient settings. The contractor must be a licensed clinical social worker, professional clinical counselor, marriage and family therapist, psychologist (PsyD), or doctoral-level (PhD) clinician with deep experience assessing and treating eating disorders and training other providers. The work has four parts. Individual clinical consultation, about six hours per month, supports County and contracted clinicians treating clients with eating disorder symptoms; requests must be acknowledged within two business days, a consultation offered within five, and a written summary delivered within three business days afterward. Monthly group consultation, about three hours, covers County-identified clinical questions using de-identified cases. Provider training, about two hours per month plus two hours of preparation, covers screening and treatment strategies for audiences of fewer than 100 people online or 50 in person, with continuing education documentation when credits are offered and an 80 percent learning-objective target for participants who complete the assessment.
