Our Behavioral Health Specialists are able to focus on patients — not hospital call, not inpatient responsibilities, and not fragmented care.

If you’re looking for a structured outpatient setting with strong clinical collaboration, predictable scheduling, and meaningful impact, this is the role for you.

  • LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor)
• Minimum 3 years of experience providing outpatient behavioral health services.
• Bilingual Spanish/English
• Experience with assessments, treatment planning, therapy, and crisis intervention.
• Ability to practice independently in the state of Illinois.
