IOP Therapist & Program Innovator (LCDC, LISW, LPCC)

IOP Therapist & Program Innovator (LCDC, LISW, LPCC) Updated October 8, 2026 — this position remains open for applications. Build your IOP therapy practice with a team that’s actually fun to work with — and a mission that matters. SOS Wellness is a growing behavioral health practice with two locations in Southwest Ohio: Middletown, OH and Norwood, OH (Cincinnati area). We’re looking for IOP therapists (LCDC, LISW, LPCC) who want real clinical autonomy, a collaborative team, and a practice that takes patient experience as seriously as clinical excellence. We work with kids, teens, and adults across the full diagnostic spectrum — mood, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, SUD, neurodevelopmental — and we’re building something that treats both patients and clinicians like humans. Now hiring at both of our Ohio locations: Middletown and Norwood (Cincinnati area). Full-time and part-time positions available. Our current priority is in-person substance use IOP group work in Middletown; please indicate your preferred location and availability. Why people like working here Mission you’d actually post about. We serve the people who need this care most — Medicaid, underserved, neurodiverse, in recovery. If “doing meaningful work” is on your non-negotiables list, you’ll fit here. Patient experience is non-negotiable. We care deeply about how patients are treated from the moment they call to the moment they leave. Effective, appropriate care delivered without unnecessary waiting — that’s the standard. A team that likes each other. Team lunches, active group chat, regular team meetings. Therapists, case managers, and admin who actually have your back — so the social and logistical pieces don’t land on your desk. Leadership that says yes to good ideas. Medical Director Dr. Irfan Dahar, MD brings 30+ years across community mental health and addiction medicine — and runs a practice where clinicians are trusted, not micromanaged. Trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming — and we mean it culturally, not just on paper. This shows up in how we practice, how we talk to each other, and how we build programs. Room to help build something new. We are developing our in-person and virtual IOP programs. If you want to help shape group programming and coordinated care, there is room to contribute. What this isn’t A 30-patient-a-day mill. A place where you’re a number. A practice still running on 2010 systems. If that’s what you’re escaping, come talk to us.
