Join Our Compassionate Clinical Team!

Are you a dedicated Mental Health Therapist looking to make a meaningful impact in a dynamic, supportive environment? Our inpatient treatment center is seeking a passionate professional to join our fast-paced, collaborative clinical team.

Why You'll Love Working With Us:

At our facility, we prioritize both patient care and team support. You'll work alongside a team of experienced, caring clinicians who value connection, integrity, and growth. While our environment is fast-paced and challenging, it's also incredibly rewarding-and filled with people who genuinely love what they do.

What We Offer:
  • A variety of medical/dental/vision plans for full-time employees
  • 401(k) with 3% employer match
  • Paid Time Off: Start with 10 days of PTO per year, with an extra day added each year (up to 5 years)
  • A workplace where your voice is heard, and your work is valued
What We're Looking For:
  • A dynamic candidate with a knowledge of clinical assessment methods, individual and group therapy techniques, as well as knowledge of residential treatment programs is preferred.
  • Inpatient experience is a plus, but not required
  • Someone who thrives in a fast-moving, team-oriented setting and willing to work an evening a week and a weekend once a month.
  • A clinician with a heart for helping individuals through challenging transitions and healing journeys

Arkview Behavioral Health is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, citizenship status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
