Position Summary

We are seeking a full-time or part-time, fully licensed Outpatient Clinician to join our Outpatient Services team on a contractual basis. This role offers flexibility, competitive pay through a 60/40 split, and the opportunity to work alongside an integrated team of mental health and substance use professionals who are cross-trained in assessing and treating both voluntary and legally involved clients.

You will collaborate with peers and a clinical supervisor to provide intervention and counseling services to walk-ins, agency residential programs, and community clients.

Using strength-based service plans and evidence-based approaches—including solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing—you will help bring about meaningful client transformations.

Please note: Clinicians will begin seeing clients after being credentialed with insurance providers. The credentialing process typically takes 5–7 weeks from the time of contract signing.
