Build a career you’re excited about — on a collaborative team in a community surrounded by waterfalls, mountain trails, and the natural beauty of Western North Carolina.

Carolina Pediatric Therapy is looking for a Full-Time Child & Family Outpatient Therapist to join our welcoming South Asheville clinic. We’re seeking a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Licensed Psychologist, or Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) who is passionate about helping children, adolescents, and families thrive.

At Carolina Pediatric Therapy, collaboration, mentorship, and exceptional child- and family-centered care are at the heart of everything we do.

Why Carolina Pediatric Therapy?

We provide integrated care for children from birth through age 21, with a team that believes collaboration makes all of us better clinicians.

As a full-time therapist, you’ll have more than a caseload — you’ll have the team, time, tools, and support designed to help you thrive.

Here, You’ll Have:

• Protected time built into your workday for treatment planning, documentation, care coordination, and collaboration
• Dedicated professional development and embedded mentorship to support your continued growth as a clinician
• True interdisciplinary collaboration with Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, Speech-Language Pathologists, Psychology, Behavioral Health, and other pediatric professionals
• Smarter documentation and sustainable productivity, with customizable templates, AI-assisted tools, and reasonable expectations focused on quality care
• A collaborative outpatient environment where you can provide individual and family therapy while coordinating care with parents, caregivers, schools, and other members of a child’s support team
• Opportunities to work across settings, including clinic, schools, community settings, and telehealth as appropriate
• A clear path for career growth, with opportunities to deepen your clinical expertise, pursue leadership, develop specialty programs, and help shape a growing pediatric mental health program

Your Home Clinic: A Place to Belong

Every clinician is centered at a designated Home Clinic, giving you a consistent professional home base and a place to connect with your team.

You’ll have designated space for your therapy materials and professional resources, along with space to display your credentials and accomplishments.

It’s a place to belong, collaborate, stay organized, and make your own.

The Role

As a Child & Family Outpatient Therapist with Carolina Pediatric Therapy, you’ll provide evaluation, assessment, and evidence-based mental health treatment to children, adolescents, and families with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, developmental, and family-system needs.

Depending on your clinical expertise, you may support children and families experiencing challenges related to:

• Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
• Behavioral and developmental concerns
• Life transitions and adjustment
• Trauma and stressful life experiences
• Social and interpersonal challenges
• Family and parent-child relationships
• School-related concerns
• Self-esteem, coping skills, and resilience
• Neurodevelopmental differences and associated emotional or behavioral needs

You’ll develop individualized treatment plans and provide engaging, developmentally appropriate interventions that help children build skills, strengthen relationships, and participate more fully in family, school, and community life.

You’ll also have the opportunity to work closely with parents and caregivers, helping families understand their child’s needs and develop practical strategies that can support progress beyond the therapy room.

Most importantly, you won’t practice in isolation. You’ll be part of an interdisciplinary team that shares ideas, coordinates care, solves problems together, and supports one another.

We want our clinicians to build sustainable careers — not burn out doing work they love.

Benefits include:

• Medical health insurance
• 3 weeks of PTO starting in your first year
• Up to 10 paid holidays
• Continuing education allowance
• 401(k)
• Life insurance
• Mental health benefit / EAP
• Optional supplemental benefits, including dental and vision coverage

We’d Love to Meet You If You:

• Are currently licensed in North Carolina as an LCSW, LCMHC, Licensed Psychologist, or LMFT
• Have a passion for working with children, adolescents, and families
• Value child- and family-centered care
• Believe collaboration and interdisciplinary care lead to better outcomes
• Are committed to evidence-based, ethical, and compassionate clinical practice
