About SkyCare Services

SkyCare Services is a Rock Hill based behavioral health and in-home care agency serving children, adolescents, adults, and families across York County and the surrounding area. Our outpatient mental health program operates from our main office on Ebenezer Road and receives referrals from the community, from Medicaid managed care partners, and from our school district partnership with Rock Hill Schools, including the alternative school and its overflow referrals.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern (LPCI) who is ready to start building a caseload right away. You provide the clinical work. We provide the clients, the office, the electronic health record, the billing, the credentialing support, and your board-approved supervisor.

This is the role for a newly licensed intern who does not want to spend the next two years hunting for a supervisor, paying out of pocket for supervision hours, or waiting on referrals to trickle in.

What Makes This Different

Your supervision is free. SkyCare provides a board-approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPCS) on site at no cost to you. You are not paying for your hours and you are not coordinating with an outside supervisor. Your supervisor is in the same building, immediately accessible, and reviews and co-signs your documentation.

Your hours count. Individual and group supervision is scheduled at the intervals required by the South Carolina Board of Examiners, with supervision logs maintained so your hours are documented correctly for full licensure.

We handle the business side. Scheduling support, verification, authorizations, claims, and collections are managed by SkyCare. You are not chasing payers or building a practice from scratch.

Your schedule is yours. Hours are flexible and we build the caseload around your availability, including evenings if that works better for you. Tell us the days and times you can be in the office and we schedule to it.
