Transform Lives. Elevate Your Clinical Impact. Grow With a Team That Believes in You.

The SUN Outpatient Center in Erlanger, KY is expanding our clinical team and seeking a dedicated, mission-driven Group-Based Therapist to support adults participating in our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
