FULL TIME MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIAN

About Blue River Counseling and Wellness
Blue River Counseling & Wellness is a community-centered group private practice based in Shelbyville, Indiana. We are deeply connected to the individuals, families, medical providers, businesses, and public service organizations within our city and surrounding counties. Our commitment to collaborative partnerships allows us to provide holistic, coordinated, and accessible care.
Our clinical philosophy is grounded in attachment-informed and trauma-informed principles. We understand that early developmental experiences, relational injuries, and broader systemic stressors often underlie or intersect with depression, anxiety, ADHD, shame, low self-worth, and interpersonal challenges. We approach each client with curiosity, humility, and respect for the complexity of human development.
We value professional humility, intellectual openness, and ongoing growth. Our clinicians engage in consistent self-reflection and collegial consultation across theoretical orientations as part of our shared commitment to clinical excellence.

Why Blue River?
Creativity is not extracurricular here — it is central to how we understand clinical excellence. We believe mental health care can extend beyond the traditional therapy hour, and we actively support clinicians who want to build innovative, meaningful contributions within the community.
Our clinicians have developed and facilitated:
- Mental health workshops and psychoeducational series
- Book clubs and group learning spaces
- Community presenta9ons for local organiza9ons
- Training programs for non-mental health professionals
- Experiential, creative, or passion-driven therapeutic offerings
These initiatives are typically voluntary, compensated separately from individual caseload revenue, and designed to reflect each clinician’s strengths and professional interests. At times, participation in specific clinic or community initiatives may be required. All required activities are compensated.
Who We’re Seeking
We are looking for clinicians who are not only strong in the therapy room but energized by contributing to something larger — a thoughtful, collaborative, and community-centered mission.
If you are grounded, relational, growth-oriented, and committed to high-quality clinical care within a supportive team environment, we would welcome the opportunity to connect.
