- Monitor progress and adjust treatment approaches to support meaningful outcomes.
- Serve as a clinical resource to staff, offering consultation, education, and support around mental health, substance use, crisis response, and skill-building approaches.
- Contribute to a culture of person-centered, recovery-oriented care.
Grow as a Clinician & Leader
- Opportunity to provide clinical supervision to support the development of future therapists (based on licensure).
- Influence program development and clinical practices across multiple service lines.
- Be part of a team that values collaboration, creativity, and continuous learning.
Requirements
- Master's degree in Social Work, Counseling, or related field.

- Comfort collaborating with teams and supporting staff in applied real-world settings.
Why Join Us

- Opportunity to shape programs and make a difference across systems of care.
- Great benefits including: health, dental and vision insurance, sick and vacation time, 12 paid holidays, a retirement plan, and more.
