You didn’t get into this field for the easy cases.

Our client is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) and Community Mental Health Center serving Northwest Iowa. They are looking for a fully licensed psychotherapist who is drawn to the clients that other settings turn away - people navigating Medicaid, housing instability, substance use, and complex behavioral health needs all at once. People who, without you, go without.

This is community mental health. The work is high-acuity, the population is complex, and the mission is real. If that is what drove you to get licensed in the first place, you will find your people here.

About the Organization

Our client is a CCBHC and Community Mental Health Center with 7 locations across Northwest Iowa. Their mission is straightforward: provide accessible, high-quality mental health services to the people of the communities they serve, honoring each individual’s dignity, worth, and potential for growth.

As a CCBHC, they are required to serve everyone - regardless of insurance status, ability to pay, or complexity of need. That is not a burden. It is the point.
