Job Description

Description:

Lead the Conversations That Change Lives

Healing happens through connection, structure, and the right support at the right time.

In our programs, group work is a powerful part of that process — creating space for insight, accountability, and growth. The person leading those groups plays a critical role in how that experience unfolds.

That’s where you come in.

At Tatum Psychology Employment Group, we’ve built a full continuum of behavioral health services across the Central Valley and beyond — because access to high-quality mental health care should be the standard, not the exception. Every day, our teams serve hundreds of individuals across multiple levels of care — many arriving in crisis and leaving with stability, skills, and hope.

As a Case Manager / SUD Counselor , you will be part of that impact — helping individuals move from crisis to stability and from isolation to connection.

Position Overview

This role combines SUD counseling and case management , allowing you to build strong connections with clients while supporting their overall treatment journey.
