About the Role

We’re seeking a compassionate, evidence-based clinician to provide individual, group, and family therapy for adults with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. The ideal candidate is collaborative, trauma-informed, and comfortable working in a fast-moving outpatient environment that centers access, equity, and measurable outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, diagnostic formulation, and individualized treatment planning for dual-diagnosis clients.
• Deliver culturally responsive, trauma-informed psychotherapy (e.g., CBT, DBT-informed skills, MI, relapse-prevention, psychoeducation).
• Facilitate therapeutic groups and family sessions that support stabilization, recovery, and community reintegration.
• Coordinate care with psychiatry, primary care, case management, and community partners; participate in interdisciplinary case conferences.
• Monitor risk and safety; complete crisis intervention, safety planning, and mandated reporting as needed.
• Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation (notes, treatment plans, discharges, releases) in the EMR within program standards.
• Track outcomes (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7, substance use metrics) and adjust treatment based on data and client goals.
• Support referral navigation (housing, benefits, MAT, higher / lower levels of care) to address social determinants of health.
• Uphold confidentiality, HIPAA, and state / federal regulations; follow agency policies and quality-assurance standards.
