Providence operates across seven states, boasting over 122,000 caregivers and employees, including 34,000 physicians.

Providence's commitment to excellence is reflected in its unified approach to healthcare under the banner of one name, one family, one extraordinary health system.

This opportunity is based at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, an award-winning hospital ranked among the top 3 percent of hospitals nationwide by Thomson Reuters Healthcare. The facility includes an innovative regional cancer center, a 12-story patient tower, and private treatment rooms in the emergency department, providing comprehensive and patient-centered care. As one of the few Level II trauma centers in Washington State, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett supports a rapidly growing population with advanced medical services.

The Per Diem Psychotherapist role primarily supports the Behavioral Health Urgent Care and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) within the behavioral health team.

The position offers flexible scheduling that supports a balanced lifestyle while allowing practitioners to deliver high-quality mental health care within a robust healthcare system.

Living and working in Everett means enjoying a city that balances industrial history and advanced technology sectors, including aerospace and service-based employment. Everett is located just 25 miles north of Seattle on Puget Sound, flanked by magnificent natural landmarks like Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier. Residents and visitors alike appreciate its cultural offerings, such as the Flying Heritage Museum, Funko’s flagship toy store, and Jetty Island Beach, along with numerous hiking trails, art galleries, and theaters.
