Job description

At Release Recovery, we are on a mission to transform how the world understands and treats Substance Use Disorder and Mental Illness. We offer comprehensive care—from residential services in our beautiful transitional living facilities to intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs at our Austin, TX clinic.

Here, we believe recovery isn’t about what you give up—it’s about what you gain. Every client is treated as a unique individual, not a diagnosis or template. If you're passionate about delivering high-quality, compassionate care in a purpose-driven environment, we'd love to meet you.

As a Primary Therapist, you will play a central role in the therapeutic journey of our clients. You’ll manage a caseload and deliver individual, group, and family therapy, while collaborating closely with the treatment team to develop and implement individualized care plans.
