About The Position

The Project is celebrating 40 years of providing affirming healthcare and supportive services to people living with HIV, those most at risk, and the broader LGBTQ+ community. As a Behavioral Health Clinician, you'll provide therapy that meets people where they are. You'll carry a caseload of individual clients, facilitate groups, and build treatment plans with your clients rather than for them. You'll work alongside our medical providers, navigators, and harm reduction staff, so the people you serve get care that holds together. We're open to clinicians at different stages of licensure. Whether you're provisionally licensed and working toward full licensure, or already fully licensed, we want to hear from you.

• Join in on team meetings, case consultations, and shared problem-solving.
