Job Summary
We are seeking a dedicated Behavioral Health Clinician to join our community-based team in Spokane. This role is open to both fully licensed clinicians (LICSW, LMHC, LMFT) and associate-level professionals (LSWAIC, LMHCA, LMFTA) working toward independent licensure.
This position goes beyond the traditional office setting-providing care in shelters, supportive housing, and community environments where your work has immediate, meaningful impact. Whether you're building toward licensure or bringing advanced clinical experience, you'll be supported in a collaborative, mission-driven setting.
Duties & Responsibilities
  • Provide individual, group, and family therapy using evidence-based practices
  • Complete intakes, biopsychosocial assessments, and treatment planning
  • Deliver services in shelters, supportive housing, and medical respite settings
  • Provide crisis intervention and conduct risk assessments in dynamic environments
  • Support clients in developing coping skills, stability, and independence
  • Facilitate psychoeducational and therapeutic groups
  • Collaborate with case managers, medical providers, and community partners
  • Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
  • Travel locally within the Spokane area to meet clients where they are
  • Associate clinicians: Actively participate in clinical supervision and licensure progress
  • Licensed clinicians: Provide independent clinical services and contribute clinical expertise to the team
What This Role Feels Like
  • Practice therapy beyond traditional office walls-meeting clients where they are
  • Make a direct impact on individuals experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, and substance use
  • Work in a fast-paced, varied, and highly meaningful environment
  • Build strong clinical judgment and confidence quickly
  • Be part of a team that values resilience, collaboration, and real-world outcomes

Requirements
Required (All Applicants)
  • Master's degree in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, or related field
  • Ability to obtain or maintain a Washington State credential
  • Ability to obtain Agency Affiliated Counselor (AAC) credential within 30 days of hire
  • Strong clinical judgment and communication skills
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team

Licensed Clinicians (Preferred)
  • Active Washington State license (LICSW, LMHC, LMFT)
  • Ability to practice independently
  • Experience in behavioral health, crisis intervention, or community-based services

Associate Clinicians (Welcomed)
  • Active Washington State associate license (LSWAIC, LMHCA, LMFTA)
  • Eligible for and committed to clinical supervision
  • Motivation to complete licensure requirements
Clinical Supervision & Professional Growth
  • Internal clinical supervision provided by experienced leaders
  • Additional access to licensed supervisors
  • Exposure to diverse clinical populations and settings
  • Strong support for licensure advancement and skill development

Work Environment
This is a community-based behavioral health role in Spokane. Services are delivered in shelters, low-barrier housing programs, and medical respite settings. Clinicians regularly work with individuals experiencing behavioral health crises, active substance use, and complex barriers to stability.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Fully Licensed: $34.09/hour and Associate Licensed: $32.95
  • 8 paid holidays plus up to 5 floating holidays
  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance (approx. $12,000-$15,000 annual value)
  • Employer-paid life insurance and long-term disability (approx. $1,500-$2,500 annual value)
  • Generous PTO, including sick leave and vacation
  • 403(b) retirement plan
  • PSLF-eligible employer
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • Free electric vehicle charging at our main location
Why Join Us
