About The Position

MPAC Healthcare is seeking a Licensed Clinician (LISW, LMHC, or LMFT) to provide patient-centered mental health care to older adults in a skilled nursing facility setting.

The position offers autonomy over caseload and schedule, with the ability to work within a 40-hour work week.
