The Associate Therapist provides direct therapeutic services including individual, group, and family therapy while managing treatment plans and clinical documentation. They also coordinate care with multi-disciplinary teams and ensure compliance with regulatory and organizational standards.
Candidates must hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, or a related field and possess a current state license (ACSW, AMFT, or APCC). At least one year of experience in mental health or substance abuse treatment is preferred.
This is more than a clinical role. It's a chance to be present at the moments that change lives — and to grow into the therapist you're meant to become. We believe in a simple but powerful vision: a community where everyone has access to the mental health care they need and deserve. Across our full continuum of care — PHP, IOP, residential, dual diagnosis, eating disorder, and adolescent services — our mission is clear: alleviate suffering, restore hope, and create lasting change for individuals, families, and communities.
Who we're looking for You're a developing clinician who wants more than a caseload — you want mentorship, clinical depth, and work that actually matters. You thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments. You're energized by complexity, not intimidated by it.
Great clinical work doesn't happen by accident — it's developed, supported, and continuously strengthened.
At Tatum, we invest in our therapists through structured supervision, in-house training, and a team culture built around clinical excellence. You'll work alongside case managers, medical staff, and experienced clinicians — with real support at every step.
