Job Description

Mental Health Therapist - Clinical Supervision Provided

  • LSW | LPC | MFT-Level Clinicians
  • Full-Time, Salaried | $62,000-$70,000
  • In-Person | Assisted Living & Senior Living Communities
  • Build your clinical career without having to build a practice.

TMH Behavioral Services is seeking master's-level behavioral health clinicians who are working toward independent clinical licensure and want to strengthen their psychotherapy skills while receiving consistent clinical supervision and organizational support.

This role provides something many early-career clinicians are looking for: a full-time salary, an established caseload, required clinical supervision at no additional cost, and the opportunity to grow toward independent licensure.

TMH provides the infrastructure. You focus on becoming a strong clinician.

  • What makes this role different
  • $62,000-$70,000 salaried compensation
  • 25 completed clinical sessions per week
  • Weekly clinical supervision
  • Required supervision toward independent licensure provided at no additional cost
  • No repayment or stay agreement tied to supervision
  • Established caseload and ongoing referrals
  • Autonomy to manage your clinical schedule
  • Primarily daytime appointments
  • No routine evening or weekend requirements
  • No marketing or client recruitment
  • No insurance verification
  • No credentialing responsibilities
  • No billing or collections
  • No on-call responsibilities
  • No crisis assessment responsibilities
  • No IM+CANS
  • Clinical and administrative support from an established behavioral health organization

Your salary is not reduced because an individual client cancels or refuses a scheduled session. TMH maintains the referral pipeline and works to keep clinicians' caseloads active.

A Pathway Toward Independent Licensure

Pre-licensed clinicians are assigned to one of TMH's clinical teams and receive weekly supervision from independently licensed clinical supervisors.

TMH provides the required clinical supervision for eligible clinicians working toward independent licensure.

Clinicians who obtain their independent clinical license while employed at TMH become eligible for consideration within TMH's independently licensed clinician salary range.

What You'll Do

  • You will provide individual psychotherapy to older adults experiencing concerns such as:
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Grief and loss
  • Social isolation
  • Adjustment to assisted living
  • Changes in independence
  • Memory loss and cognitive decline

  • Family and relationship transitions
  • Life-stage and identity changes

You Will Also

  • Maintain an expectation of approximately 25 completed clinical sessions per week
  • Manage your ongoing clinical calendar
  • Complete timely clinical documentation, treatment plans, and discharge documentation
  • Participate in weekly clinical supervision
  • Coordinate care with facility staff, healthcare providers, and families when clinically appropriate
  • Attend required team meetings

Participate in Quarterly Senior Wellness/community Events

Participate in facility programming throughout the year, generally including 2-4 educational workshops annually
