Clinical Director

About PL Community Solutions

PL Community Solutions is a growing behavioral health agency delivering crisis stabilization, Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Multisystemic Therapy (MST) services in the Hampton Roads area. We operate in alignment with DBHDS licensing standards and Virginia Medicaid requirements, and we are committed to building high-quality, fidelity-driven programs at every level of care. As we expand our clinical footprint, we are seeking a senior licensed clinician to provide leadership across two of our most impactful service lines.

About the Role

This is a dual-role leadership position designed for a licensed clinician who is ready to lead with clinical authority and shape program culture. You will serve simultaneously as the MST Supervisor for our Multisystemic Therapy team and as the Clinical Director for our Intensive Outpatient Program, with your time and energy divided equally between both programs. In addition, you will provide ongoing clinical supervision to program staff, supporting their professional growth, clinical decision-making, and adherence to evidence-based practices.

This is not a caseload-carrying position. Your focus is clinical leadership: developing and guiding therapists, providing supervision, maintaining fidelity and compliance standards, ensuring documentation quality, and serving as the clinical authority across both service lines. Our administrative team manages scheduling, prior authorizations, and documentation logistics so your time stays squarely in the clinical lane.

MST experience is preferred but not required. If you bring strong supervisory skills, community-based clinical experience, and a genuine commitment to evidence-based, fidelity-driven practice, we will invest in your MST training and support your development through our MST expert consultation structure.

What You Will Do

MST Supervisor (50%)

Provide weekly group and individual clinical supervision to MST therapists using the MST supervisory model, with a focus on case conceptualization, analytic process fidelity, and clinician development

Review and guide treatment planning to ensure alignment with MST principles, ecological fit, and individualized family goals

Monitor fidelity metrics and outcome data; use structured feedback to support ongoing therapist skill development and model adherence

Serve as the clinical escalation point for complex, multi-system cases requiring supervisory guidance

Maintain supervisory documentation in compliance with DBHDS licensing standards and MST quality assurance requirements

Build and sustain referral relationships with FAPT coordinators, JDR court liaisons, community services boards, and other key system partners

Promote MST internally and externally, educating stakeholders on the model and its evidence base

IOP Clinical Director (50%)

Provide clinical oversight and group supervision for QMHP-led IOP groups, ensuring service quality and clinical consistency across the program

Review and co-sign clinical documentation, including progress notes, group summaries, and treatment plans, in alignment with DMAS billing and documentation standards

Ensure IOP services comply with LOCUS documentation requirements, group size standards, and medical necessity criteria

Conduct or oversee clinical assessments and individualized treatment planning for IOP clients

Monitor program quality, client progress trajectories, and discharge planning to support safe, appropriate transitions of care

What We Are Looking For

Active Virginia licensure required: LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or any LMHP designation accepted

Master’s degree in clinical or counseling psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, or a closely related field

Minimum two years of post-licensure clinical experience; experience in community-based, outpatient, or intensive levels of care strongly preferred

Experience providing clinical supervision preferred; candidates with strong training and leadership experience will be considered

Familiarity with DBHDS licensing standards, DMAS Medicaid documentation requirements, and behavioral health quality assurance practices

MST experience or prior training preferred; candidates without MST background will be considered and provided with structured training through our MST expert consultation framework

Strong clinical judgment and the ability to guide therapists working with youth and families across complex, multi-system presentations

This role does not carry a direct therapy caseload
