Clinical Manager Experiential And Adventure Therapy

Lake Ozark, MO (Onsite) $70,000$80,000 + Relocation Assistance

Ready to get out of the therapy room and bring therapy to life? If you're a clinician who comes alive through movement, connection, and real-world experiences, this will give you the opportunity to practice therapy in a way that's dynamic, relational, and deeply impactful.

Here, therapy happens in motion: through group challenges, outdoor experiences, and animal-assisted work. You'll work side-by-side with our youth by helping them build trust, regulate, and break through in ways traditional settings often can't reach.

At CALO, our mission is to heal generations through a holistic, family-driven model, and you will be at the heart of that work.

Apply today if you would like to be a part of a highly engaging environment where no two days look the same. Ideal for clinicians who want to stay active, build intentional and meaningful relationships, and grow further into leadership.
