Make a Real Impact—Beyond the Therapy Office

Are you a therapist who wants to do more than sit in an office all day? Join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team and help individuals with serious mental illness live independently, stay out of the hospital, and build meaningful lives in their communities.

This is not traditional outpatient therapy. ACT is hands-on, team-based, and deeply impactful work—where every day is different, and your support meets clients where they are.

What You’ll Do

· Provide community-based mental health services in homes, shelters, and other real-world settings

· Work as part of a multidisciplinary team (psychiatry, nursing, case management, peer support)

· Share responsibility for a team caseload—no isolated practice

Support clients with:

o Symptom management

o Crisis intervention

o Housing stability

o Substance use recovery

o Daily living skills

Why This Role Is Different

· You’re not alone: Shared caseload daily team support

· Flexible, field-based work: Less back-to-back sessions, more meaningful engagement

· Real outcomes: Help reduce hospitalizations and support long-term recovery

· Creative problem-solving: No “one-size-fits-all” treatment plans

What We’re Looking For

·Licensed (or license-eligible) (LMSW, LGPC, LCPC, LCSW, LMFT)

· Strong communication and teamwork skills

· Comfort working in community settings and adapting to changing situations

· Passion for serving individuals with serious mental illness

What We Offer

· Competitive salary

· Clinical supervision toward licensure (if applicable)

· Generous PTO holidays

· Mileage reimbursement for field work

· Ongoing training in evidence-based practices

· Supportive team culture focused on preventing burnout
