Make a Real Difference in the Lives of Youth

At LivWell Behavioral, we don't just provide therapy — we show up for kids and families in ways that go far beyond a typical clinical setting. We're an outpatient behavioral health center in The Valley focused on growth-oriented group counseling and skill-building for children, and we're looking for a passionate Case Manager who's ready to be the love, the change, and the difference in a child's life.

If you lead with empathy, thrive in a collaborative environment, and want a career that feels like a calling, then LivWell is the place for you.
