Help Us Redefine Whole Person Care

At Ascend Medical, we believe behavioral health is not separate from healthcare it is healthcare. We are building an integrated model where therapists are empowered to focus on what matters most: meaningful patient relationships, clinical excellence, and long-term healing.

We are growing our Behavioral Health Division across Metro Atlanta and are seeking compassionate, mission-driven therapists who want to be part of something bigger than a traditional therapy practice.

Whether you are an experienced clinician with an established caseload, a therapist looking to grow your practice with organizational support, or a collaborative clinician excited about integrated care, we would love to connect.

More Time for Patients. Less Time on Administrative Burdens.

We know many therapists entered this profession to help people not to spend evenings battling scheduling issues, insurance paperwork, intake coordination, or marketing themselves online.

Our model is designed to support clinicians by providing operational infrastructure so you can focus more of your energy on patient care and clinical impact.

Support may include:
Scheduling and patient coordination support
Insurance credentialing assistance
Billing and revenue cycle support
Marketing and referral development
Intake and patient onboarding assistance
EMR and technology training/support
Collaborative care coordination
Office space and operational infrastructure

Build Your Practice Without Building It Alone

We recognize that growing and maintaining a caseload can feel overwhelming and isolating in private practice.

At Ascend, therapists benefit from:
Internal referrals from primary care and psychiatry
Community partnership opportunities
Marketing and outreach support
Access to integrated care teams
Flexibility to develop specialty niches and passions
Opportunities to help shape programs and services as we grow

Whether your passion is grief, trauma, womens health, anxiety, relationships, chronic illness, faith-based counseling, adolescents, LGBTQ+ support, substance use, or another specialty area we want to help you build meaningful clinical work around your strengths.

Clinical Autonomy Matters Here

We believe therapists thrive when they are trusted as professionals.

Our clinicians maintain:
Clinical independence and therapeutic approach
Flexibility in scheduling structures
Ability to develop specialty focus areas
Input into patient care collaboration
Opportunities to help shape culture and programming

We aim to create an environment where therapists feel supported not micromanaged.
