Associate Clinical Director

Whole Connection Behavioral Health is a growing outpatient group practice in Boulder and Denver, CO, serving a diverse caseload including approximately 50% Medicaid clients. We are seeking an experienced licensed clinician to step into a genuine leadership role — not simply as a note co-signer, but as a key clinical thought partner to the Clinical Director and a meaningful presence in the ongoing development of our team. This is a rare opportunity to hold real clinical authority in a values-driven, trauma-informed practice. As we grow and the Clinical Director expands into broader organizational work, this role will absorb increasing responsibility for clinical consultation, supervisee development, and quality of care. We want someone who is energized by influence, mentorship, and building something that lasts. A licensed Clinical Psychologist (PhD/PsyD) is strongly preferred. Candidates holding an LCSW or LPC with substantial supervisory experience will be considered; compensation is commensurate with licensure level.

Why Whole Connection

• Genuine clinical leadership — not just a checklist role. You will shape how this practice thinks and grows.
• Fully compensated hours — every meeting, documentation review, and supervision hour is paid. No unbillable expectations.
• W2 stability with benefits — 6% employer 401(k) match, PTO and sick time accrual, part-time holiday pay.
• Flexible schedule built collaboratively — remote supervision available; consistent weekly availability required.
• Trauma-informed, relationship-centered clinical culture — DBT, sensorimotor psychotherapy, somatic modalities, and attachment frameworks throughout.
• AI-assisted documentation infrastructure — our practice uses purpose-built AI clinical tooling to support documentation quality, reducing administrative burden on all clinicians.

Core Responsibilities

• Clinical Supervision
• Provide individual and/or group clinical supervision to 6–8 pre-licensed clinicians (LPCc/LSW and Master’s interns) per Colorado licensure board requirements
• Review and co-sign clinical documentation including progress notes and treatment plans
• Ensure documentation quality, compliance, and adherence to WC’s standards — supported by our AI audit tooling
• Clinical Consultation & Leadership
• Serve as a primary clinical thought partner to the Clinical Director on complex, high-acuity, or ethically nuanced cases
• Participate in clinical decision-making for supervisee development, performance concerns, and readiness for independent licensure
• Contribute to practice-wide clinical protocols, standards, and onboarding of new pre-licensed clinicians
• Participate in regular team meetings and help sustain a collaborative, trauma-informed clinical culture
• Mentorship & Culture
• Mentor the next generation of clinicians — holding their development with both accountability and attunement
• Act as a steady clinical presence that supervisees can orient to as they grow in complexity and confidence

Schedule

• 12–18 hours per week
• Flexible scheduling; remote supervision available for qualifying sessions
• Consistent weekly availability required — schedule built collaboratively with the Clinical Director
• Start date: June 2, 2026 (firm — please apply only if this timeline is feasible)

Compensation & Benefits

• All hours fully compensated — meetings, documentation review, and supervision time included with no unbillable expectations

Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PhD/PsyD)

• $82–$92/hr

LCSW or LPC with substantial supervisory experience

• $68–$75/hr
• 6% employer 401(k) match
• PTO and sick time accrual
• Part-time holiday pay

• A note on the W2 rate: A psychologist in private practice often earns $150–$250 per clinical hour, but after taxes, overhead, no-shows, and billing time, a W2 rate of $82–$92 is often comparable in actual take-home — with none of the business risk.

• Qualifications
• Active Colorado licensure required (PhD/PsyD strongly preferred; LCSW or LPC with significant supervisory experience considered)
• Minimum 3–5 years post-licensure clinical experience
• Prior supervisory experience required
• Experience with trauma-informed care, DBT, somatic, or attachment-based modalities strongly preferred
• Existing in-network credentialing with Colorado commercial insurers and/or Medicaid RAEs is a significant advantage
• Comfort with EHR systems and strong documentation standards
• Ability to begin by June 2, 2026 is required
