Job Description

About Us

Live Well Behavioral Health is a brand-new outpatient behavioral clinic that provides Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) services for individuals with substance use disorders and mental health diagnoses. We're a close-knit, mission-driven team dedicated to evidence-based, compassionate care — and we're looking for a leader who can wear two hats: clinical excellence and operational leadership.

The Role

We're seeking an experienced Clinical Supervisor / Therapist to oversee day-to-day operations of our PHP/IOP program while also carrying a small client caseload and facilitating group and individual therapy. This is a hybrid leadership + clinical role, ideal for someone who wants to shape a program's culture and outcomes, not just clock in and run groups.

What You'll Do

  • Clinical Responsibilities
  • Facilitate individual and group therapy sessions for PHP/IOP clients
  • Conduct clinical assessments, treatment planning, and discharge planning
  • Provide crisis intervention and risk assessment as needed
  • Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation in compliance with state and payer requirements
  • Management Responsibilities
  • Oversee daily clinic operations, scheduling, and program flow
  • Supervise and support clinical staff, case managers, and support personnel
  • Ensure compliance with state licensing, accreditation (e. g., CARF/Joint Commission), and HIPAA standards
  • Monitor program KPIs (census, retention, outcomes) and report to leadership
  • Support hiring, onboarding, and training of new clinical staff
  • Liaise with referral sources, insurance providers, and community partners
  • Help troubleshoot utilization review and authorization issues

What We're Looking For

  • Master’s degree in counseling, Social Work, Psychology, or related field (required)
  • Active clinical license (LPC, LCSW, LMSW, LMFT, LCDC, or equivalent) in Louisiana
  • Minimum 2+ years of experience in substance abuse/behavioral health treatment
  • Prior supervisory or program management experience strongly preferred
  • Solid understanding of PHP/IOP levels of care, ASAM criteria, and insurance/UR processes
  • Strong leadership, organizational, and communication skills
  • CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain)

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary + performance incentives
  • PTO and paid holidays
  • Continuing education support / CEU reimbursement
  • A supportive, mission-driven team culture — low burnout, high impact
