LISW- Behavioral Health Therapist

• LISW Behavioral Health Therapist
• Location: Ottumwa, IA
• Schedule: Full-Time

Make a real clinical impact beyond the therapy room, and have an influential voice in our interdisciplinary teams.

We're looking for a Licensed Therapist who wants more than a traditional outpatient role. This position blends direct therapy with hands-on collaboration across home-and community-based services (HCBS), substance use programs (SUD), and behavioral health intervention services (BHIS) by supporting individuals with complex, whole-person behavioral health needs.

If you're someone who enjoys problem-solving, team collaboration, and seeing change happen in everyday life – not just in sessions - then this role offers a unique opportunity to grow and lead.

What You'll Do

Provide individual and family therapy, including assessment, diagnosis, and development of clinically appropriate, billable treatment plans.

Support individuals with complex behavioral health needs, including mental health and substance use, across programs by collaborating with their interdisciplinary teams to develop and guide practical, trauma-informed behavioral strategies (including behavioral plans) that staff can implement in real time.

• Monitor progress and adjust treatment approaches to support meaningful outcomes.
• Serve as a clinical resource to staff, offering consultation, education, and support around mental health, substance use, crisis response, and skill-building approaches.
• Contribute to a culture of person-centered, recovery-oriented care.

Grow as a Clinician & Leader

• Opportunity to provide clinical supervision to support the development of future therapists (based on licensure).
• Influence program development and clinical practices across multiple service lines.
• Be part of a team that values collaboration, creativity, and continuous learning.

Requirements

• Master's degree in Social Work, Counseling, or related field.
• Active Iowa Licensure (LISW)
• Strong clinical judgement and ability to work with individuals with complex needs.
• Comfort collaborating with teams and supporting staff in applied real-world settings.

Why Join Us

• Mission-driven organization focused on real, person-centered impact.
• Variety in your work, no two days will look the same.
• Collaborative, supportive team environment.
• Opportunity to shape programs and make a difference across systems of care.

Great benefits including: health, dental and vision insurance, sick and vacation time, 12 paid holidays, a retirement plan, and more.
