Overview
We are seeking a Licensed Therapist to join an adult PHP/IOP program in the Delray Beach area. This role is ideal for a clinician who is comfortable working with substance use disorders, process addictions, co-occurring mental health conditions, and trauma-related presentations in a structured, team-based outpatient setting.
The position is primarily focused on individual therapy, treatment planning, and clinical documentation for a manageable caseload. This is a strong opportunity for a therapist who values clinical depth, schedule consistency, and meaningful work with adults in higher-acuity outpatient care.

Responsibilities
Provide individual therapy for clients participating in PHP and IOP services.
Serve as the primary therapist for an assigned caseload.
Complete timely clinical documentation, including insurance-related documentation and progress notes.
Participate in treatment planning, care coordination, weekly caseload review, and required clinical meetings.
Support family communication and family sessions when clinically appropriate.
Facilitate group therapy as assigned.
Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary clinical team.

Required Qualifications
Active Florida clinical license such as LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or equivalent.
Experience or strong comfort working with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
Comfort working with process addictions, including compulsive sexual behavior and related presentations.
Strong clinical judgment, professional boundaries, and communication skills.
Ability to manage a PHP/IOP caseload and stay current on documentation requirements.
Ability to work on-site in Delray Beach, Florida.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience in PHP, IOP, residential, or other higher-acuity outpatient settings.
Training or experience in trauma-informed care, addiction treatment, or family work.
Experience with evidence-informed modalities such as EMDR, somatic approaches, or related trauma-focused interventions.
Background in group therapy, psychoeducation, or coordinated care for adult populations.

Skills
Individual therapy
Addiction counseling
Co-occurring disorders treatment
Clinical documentation
Treatment planning
Family communication
Team collaboration

Work Environment
This is an on-site daytime role within a structured adult outpatient treatment setting. The clinical environment is collaborative, relational, and focused on high-quality care, safety, and consistency.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Consistent daytime schedule with strong work-life structure.
Full-time 1099 flexibility in a clinically rich treatment setting.
Manageable caseload and strong multidisciplinary support.
Opportunity to work with complex and meaningful clinical presentations.
Additional earning potential may be available on select assigned cases.
