About Us

Evolve Life Centers is a growing and dynamic behavioral health organization dedicated to providing compassionate, trauma-informed mental health and substance use treatment. We serve adults through outpatient, residential programs and community, with a mission of empowering individuals to achieve stability, growth, and long-term recovery.

What makes us unique is our culture. At Evolve, we believe that caring for our team is just as important as caring for our clients. We prioritize connection, collaboration, and support—whether through monthly team lunches, quarterly outings, or creating spaces where staff feel valued and heard.

Our team-first approach fosters a positive, energized workplace where therapists can thrive personally and professionally while making a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.

Our mission is to “Make a difference so impactful, that we get to experience the best life WE have ever known.”

Our vision is “To positively affect so many lives, that we change the world.”

We are guided by our core values of compassion, adaptability, commitment, and drive, which shape our culture, inform our clinical approach, and inspire our team to continuously evolve in service of those we support.

We are seeking passionate and motivated Licensed Mental Health Therapists (LCSW-C, LMSW, LCPC, LGPC) to join our expanding team. We offer flexible opportunities including full-time, part-time, and fee-for-service roles—ideal for clinicians seeking stability, supplemental income, or the ability to grow a caseload at their own pace.

  • Part-Time: Flexible scheduling with pro-rated benefits for a consistent caseload.
  • Fee-for-Service: Competitive per-session rate, flexible hours, and administrative support.

If you’re looking for a supportive, team-driven environment where your work is valued and your growth is prioritized, Evolve Life Centers is the place for you.

We accept applications for this role on a continuous basis, even when we are not actively hiring. This allows us to connect with strong candidates and keep them in mind for future openings. If you’re interested, we encourage you to apply—we review applications regularly.
