Confidential Clinical Opportunity

A highly regarded behavioral healthcare organization is seeking an experienced  Primary Therapist  to join a multidisciplinary treatment team serving adults with substance use disorders, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions.

This opportunity is designed for a clinician who values  depth of treatment, manageable clinical responsibilities, interdisciplinary collaboration, and evidence-based care . The therapist will provide individual, family, and group therapy within a structured treatment environment while working closely with medical, psychiatric, nursing, and clinical professionals.

The organization places a strong emphasis on trauma-informed treatment and understanding the role family and interpersonal systems play in long-term recovery.

The Role

The Primary Therapist will manage an intentionally limited caseload, allowing for meaningful clinical engagement with each client rather than a high-volume therapy model.

Structured clinical supervision and ongoing professional development are integral parts of the program.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide individual, family, and group therapy
• Develop individualized treatment plans based on clinical needs and recovery goals
• Utilize trauma-informed and family-systems approaches to treatment
• Conduct comprehensive clinical and psychosocial assessments
• Facilitate process, psychoeducational, and therapeutic groups
• Address substance use, trauma, and co-occurring behavioral health conditions
• Participate in multidisciplinary case consultation and treatment planning
• Coordinate discharge and continuing-care recommendations
• Communicate appropriately with families, outside providers, and referral partners
• Maintain timely and accurate clinical documentation
• Monitor client progress and modify treatment interventions when clinically appropriate
• Participate in clinical supervision, training, and continuing education

Required Qualifications

• Master's degree or higher in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, Marriage & Family Therapy, or a related clinical discipline
• Independent clinical licensure in Colorado as an LCSW, LPC, or LMFT , or ability to obtain Colorado licensure through endorsement

• 3+ years of clinical experience treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions
• Strong understanding of trauma-informed behavioral healthcare
• Experience providing individual, family, and group therapy
• Strong clinical judgment, documentation skills, and professional boundaries
• Ability to collaborate effectively within an interdisciplinary treatment team

Highly Preferred Experience

Experience treating licensed professionals is strongly preferred and will receive significant consideration , particularly clinicians who have worked with:

• Physician health and professional monitoring populations
• Attorneys or other licensed professionals participating in professional assistance programs
• Executives and other high-accountability professional populations

Additional preferred experience includes residential behavioral healthcare, specialized family-systems work, and formal training in trauma modalities such as  EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, or similar approaches .

Addiction-specific credentials such as  LAC, CAS, or equivalent  are also highly valued.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is an experienced therapist who wants to practice at a high clinical level without being overwhelmed by excessive caseload volume.

They understand the relationship between  trauma, addiction, mental health, family dynamics, and long-term recovery  and are comfortable working with clinically complex clients who may also have demanding professional careers.

This individual should be collaborative, clinically confident, highly professional, and committed to meaningful therapeutic work.

Why Consider This Opportunity

This position offers the opportunity to practice within a genuinely interdisciplinary clinical environment where therapists work closely with medical and psychiatric professionals.

The organization prioritizes manageable clinical responsibilities, meaningful client contact, structured supervision, professional development, and giving clinicians the resources necessary to focus on delivering exceptional care.

This search is being conducted on a strictly confidential basis. Additional information regarding the organization, program, and location will be shared with qualified candidates during the recruitment process.
