Job Description

Full-Time | Hybrid | Lakewood, CO

About Kikta Behavioral Health LLC

Kikta Behavioral Health LLC is a behavioral health organization committed to high-quality, ethical, and sustainable mental health care. Services extend to children (5+), adolescents, and adults across Colorado. Kikta operates with a structured leadership team, operational infrastructure, compliance oversight, and defined clinical standards.

Our organizational model prioritizes stability, collaboration, and responsible expansion while protecting clinicians from burnout. Clear expectations, strong consultation, and administrative support allow clinicians to focus on meaningful clinical work.

Position Overview

Kikta is hiring a full-time, W2 Outpatient Clinician providing hybrid in-person and telehealth services from our Lakewood office. This role is not remote. Onsite presence supports collaboration, consultation, and coordinated care.

Clinicians typically maintain 25–30 client sessions per week, allowing sustainable pacing, quality care, and protected documentation time.

Caseloads may include children (5+), adolescents, adults, and families based on clinician training, experience, and clinical preference.

Compensation Overview

Kikta uses a variable salary model connected to consistent productivity expectations.

  • Clinicians meeting minimum productivity expectations earn $59,940 annually, including clinicians entering the field immediately after graduate school
  • Most clinicians in their first year post-graduation earn approximately $68,000–$70,000 annually
  • Fully licensed clinicians earn an average of approximately $78,000 annually

Compensation reflects licensure level, experience, and sustained caseload management. Earnings increase alongside professional development and panel growth.

Why Work at Kikta

  • Structured behavioral health organization with defined leadership and operational systems
  • Weekly individual supervision and weekly group supervision
  • Ongoing case consultation and access to team members for professional development
  • Administrative and compliance infrastructure supporting clinical focus
  • Clear productivity expectations without quota-driven culture
  • Opportunity to work across a broad outpatient diagnostic spectrum
  • Strong emphasis on evidence-based clinical practice
  • Long-term employment stability within a growing organization
  • Leadership accessibility and collaborative clinical culture

Kikta offers an environment where clinicians develop professionally, practice ethically, and build sustainable careers.

Clinical Scope & Professional Development

Kikta provides outpatient behavioral health services across a broad diagnostic spectrum. Clinicians are expected to competently assess and treat a full range of outpatient presentations while working within an organized, supportive clinical environment.

Kikta prioritizes evidence-based treatment approaches. Preferred clinical experience includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other structured, research-supported interventions. Clinicians without formal training in these modalities receive support pursuing advanced education and skill development.

Common clinical presentations include:

  • Major Depressive Disorder and other mood disorders
  • Bipolar I and II
  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and complex trauma
  • ADHD and neurodevelopmental presentations
  • Autism spectrum presentations
  • Adjustment disorders
  • Personality disorder features and attachment-related concerns
  • Self-harm behaviors
  • Suicidal ideation appropriate for outpatient level of care
  • Family conflict, grief, and life transitions

Clients requiring higher levels of care are referred appropriately and coordinated with external providers when indicated.

Clinical complexity is viewed as an opportunity for professional growth. Kikta supports clinicians through weekly individual supervision, weekly group supervision, ongoing case consultation, and access to team members for professional development. Leadership and clinical support remain accessible throughout the development process, promoting confidence, skill development, and ethical decision-making.

Core Responsibilities

  • Provide individual, family, and group therapy using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches
  • Deliver developmentally appropriate interventions for children, adolescents, and adults
  • Engage caregivers in treatment planning when clinically appropriate
  • Conduct thoughtful case conceptualization and coordinate referrals when needed
  • Participate in regular supervision and clinical case consultation
  • Maintain accurate and timely documentation aligned with organizational and payer standards
  • Complete progress notes within 4 business days, treatment plans by assigned due dates, and case closures within 60 days of last contact
  • Respond professionally and promptly to client communication
  • Uphold organizational standards related to ethics, professionalism, and collaboration

All responsibilities remain within scope of licensure and defined role parameters.

Professional Environment

Kikta operates with:

  • Defined clinical expectations
  • Structured operational support
  • Administrative assistance
  • Supervision for LPCC clinicians
  • Leadership accessibility
  • Compliance oversight

This structure allows clinicians to focus on clinical work while remaining aligned with organizational standards.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This position aligns well with clinicians who:

  • Prefer working within a structured behavioral health organization
  • Value clear expectations, accountability, and defined clinical standards
  • Practice from a trauma-informed, culturally responsive framework
  • Enjoy providing care to children (5+), adolescents, adults, and families
  • Seek long-term, full-time employment within a stable organization
  • Balance clinical autonomy with organizational policies and compliance requirements
  • Appreciate consistent supervision, consultation, and operational support

Kikta leadership places strong emphasis on work-life balance and clinician sustainability. This role aligns well with clinicians who value realistic caseload expectations, protected time for documentation, supportive supervision, and leadership practices designed to reduce burnout and promote longevity in the field.

Successful candidates value balance, professionalism, and ethical practice, and seek an organization where clinical quality and personal well-being are treated as equally important.

Who This Position Does Not Fit

This position does not align with clinicians seeking remote work from home, minimal documentation expectations, informal practice environments, less than full-time work expectations, or an individual or group private practice model.

This role also does not align with clinicians planning concurrent work with multiple companies or platforms, including SonderMind, Rula, Headway, or an independent practice.

Required Qualifications

  • Master’s degree from an accredited program in counseling, social work, psychology, or a related field
  • Active Colorado DORA credential in one of the following:
    • Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC)
    • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
    • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
    • Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
  • Licensed clinicians registered with CAQH
  • Skill in crisis intervention and lethality assessment
  • Experience using evidence-based modalities including DBT, CBT, EMDR or similar approaches
  • Understanding of trauma-informed care
  • Comfort using electronic health records and completing clinical documentation
  • Medicaid and insurance credentialing experience preferred

Supervision provided for LPCC clinicians in accordance with Colorado regulations.

Benefits

  • Highly competitive salary within the Colorado outpatient behavioral health market
  • Weekly individual clinical supervision
  • Weekly group supervision
  • Ongoing case consultation and access to team members for professional development
  • Dental and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Medical insurance stipend
  • Administrative and operational support

Equal Opportunity Employer

Kikta Behavioral Health LLC provides equal employment opportunity and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or any legally protected characteristic.
