  • Monitor client progress and adjust treatment interventions as appropriate
  • Help create a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment
  • Receive clinical supervision and continue developing your therapeutic skills

What You'll Bring

  • Active Wisconsin LPC-IT license (required).
  • Master's degree in Counseling or a closely related field
  • Passion for helping individuals experiencing substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders
  • Strong clinical, communication, and interpersonal skills
  • Valid Wisconsin driver's license
  • Ability to pass a background check and drug screen

Why Join Us?

  • 401k with 3% company match!
  • PTO starts accruing on day one + paid holidays and sick time!
  • Free daily meal from our on-site kitchen!
