SUMMARY:

PATH Behavioral Healthcare’s Adolescent Treatment Clinic, a dynamic Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-centered Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for adolescents, is expanding its scope to offer outpatient services for teens and families. We’re seeking an insightful and collaborative therapist to lead this exciting next step by serving outpatient clients in a setting grounded in experiential, values-based work.

You’ll collaborate with a tight-knit team of clinicians, psychiatrists, and case managers in a therapeutic environment that values transparency, flexibility, and growth.

This highly collaborative role provides the unique opportunity to shape the outpatient branch of our clinic’s mission—offering high-quality, ACT-driven therapy with compassion and clinical rigor. Paid clinical supervision for licensure is available for pre-licensed clinicians.

This position is paid per billable hour (including generous admin time) with guaranteed training hours and a comprehensive onboarding process.
