- Leaders in addressing the opioid epidemic
- Advocates for accessible behavioral health services
- Specialists in serving BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities
- A compassionate family of professionals committed to equity, resilience, and quality care
We are seeking a licensed Mental Health Clinician to deliver high-quality, trauma-informed outpatient services to adults with commercial insurance.

Clinicians enjoy access to tenant-only amenities, including a full fitness center with sauna, the tranquil Wintergarden lounge, and a café conveniently located in the lobby.
In addition to competitive compensation, this role offers eligibility for a performance-based bonus, and the rewarding opportunity to serve downtown clients with commercial insurance—supporting THS’s mission by helping to fund uncompensated care at other locations.

Team Collaboration
- Participate in clinical supervision, case reviews, and interdisciplinary treatment planning to support integrated, coordinated care.
- Consult and collaborate with THS team members across medical, SUD, and psychiatric departments.
- Contribute to a positive, team-oriented culture by modeling professional communication, accountability, and empathy.
Professional Growth & Community Engagement
- Actively participate in agency-sponsored training and continuing education to strengthen skills in trauma-informed care, cultural responsiveness, and emerging treatment models.
- Represent THS in community meetings, referral collaborations, and client advocacy efforts.
Contribute to ongoing program development and service improvement initiatives through feedback and creative problem-solving.
