About Paragon Behavioral Health Connections
Paragon Behavioral Health Connections is a comprehensive behavioral health organization on a mission to positively impact individuals and families through compassionate, and client-centered care. Our mission is to deliver personalized care that uplifts our clients and builds supportive connections in communities. Through community based or
in-home services, and digital solutions as needed, we meet clients where they are-both physically and emotionally-to provide the right support at the right time. Serving communities across Colorado, we deliver equitable and creative "one-stop" behavioral health services-providing in-home mental health and substance use treatment, crisis stabilization, early childhood support, intensive outpatient programs, assertive community treatment, medication management, wrap around support and more. We believe care should meet people where they are, both physically and emotionally. Our approach is rooted in understanding, respect, innovation, and community collaboration.
Why Work With Paragon

  • Clinical Leadership & Support - Clinicians lead here. Our executive team includes licensed providers who shape business decisions with a care-first lens. We provide licensure supervision and regular consultation to support your growth as a clinician.
  • Comprehensive, Company-Paid Benefits - We cover health, dental, vision, short- and long-term disability, and life insurance-company-paid-so there are no premium deductions from your paycheck. Keep your full salary and your peace of mind.
  • Career Growth Opportunities - Grow with us. Explore new modalities and specializations and advance into leadership as we expand statewide.
