At Zarephath, we believe every family deserves the tools to thrive. We are a dedicated behavioral health agency based in Yuma, Arizona, on a mission to support children as they navigate life’s toughest challenges. We’re looking for a clinician who is passionate about meeting families where they are—both virtually and in person—to build brighter futures.
The Zarephath Vision
Our goal is simple: optimal well-being for every child. We don't just provide "services"; we create safe, meaningful, and even fun environments where healing happens. Whether in the community or via telehealth, you’ll be the bridge that connects families to the harmony and success they deserve.
