Salary: $60,000 – $70,000/yr
Type: Full-time
This role is ideal for a licensed or associate-level mental health clinician who enjoys the "front end" of patient care. You should have a strong grasp of DSM-V diagnostic criteria and feel comfortable conducting biopsychosocial assessments for a diverse age range, from children to adults. While the work involves virtual assessments, you must be based in the Baton Rouge area for in-person office hours. The position offers a steady M–F, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM schedule, providing more predictability than many clinical roles. The salary starts between $60k and $70k, with a comprehensive benefits package and opportunities for associate-level clinicians to gain experience and work toward full licensure within a fast-growing behavioral health organization. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Hold an independent or associate-level mental health license (LPC, LCSW, or equivalent). * Have experience determining clinical "fit" for Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) levels of care. * Are highly organized and comfortable navigating Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in a fast-paced environment. * Live in or near Baton Rouge and prefer an office-based collaborative setting.
