Behavioral Health Intake Specialist (Psychologist)
Solace is a healthcare advocacy marketplace that connects patients and families to experts who help them understand and take charge of their personal health
About the Role
As a Behavioral Health Intake Specialist, you will be instrumental in setting the tone for a patient’s journey at Solace. You will conduct intake assessments for new patients, obtaining relevant patient history and clinical information to ensure they are set up for success once they get started with a Solace advocate for ongoing support. Reporting directly to our Director of Behavioral Health, you will be pivotal in shaping this new service offering at Solace. Your feedback will be critical as we iterate on the services and build toward scalability. About Solace Healthcare in the U.S. is fundamentally broken. The system is so complex that 88% of U.S. adults do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate it without help. Solace cuts through the red tape of healthcare by pairing patients with expert advocates and giving them the tools to make better decisions—and get better outcomes. We're a Series B startup, founded in 2022 and backed by Inspired Capital, Craft Ventures, Torch Capital, Menlo Ventures, and Signalfire. Our fully remote U.S. team is lean, mission-driven, and growing quickly. Solace isn't a place to coast. We're here to redefine healthcare—and that demands urgency, precision, and heart. If you're looking to stretch yourself, sharpen your edge, and do the best work of your life alongside a team that cares deeply, you're in the right place. We’re intense, and we like it that way.
