The Opportunity
As a Therapist at Wisconsin Behavioral Health, you will be part of the founding clinical team for our new PHP/IOP program - joining at the ground level and helping shape the culture, clinical experience, and outcomes of a program built from the start around recovery-oriented, evidence-based care.

- Build relationships with referral partners and represent the program with professionalism in the community.
- Contribute to a program culture rooted in empathy, accountability, and high-quality care.
Why Join Us
Be part of building something meaningful from the beginning - not just filling a seat, but helping shape a program.
- Work in a structured, team-based PHP/IOP setting that supports clinical focus and professional growth.
