About The Position

Athena Care has been offering high quality, accessible mental health care for over twenty years. We are an insurance-based practice growing across Tennessee, and we're looking for a therapist near Memphis to join our team. We offer psychological testing, IOP/PHP, Spravato/IM Ketamine, TMS, psychotherapy, group therapy, and general psychiatry. We are looking for someone who is curious about people, finds energy in working with a diverse patient population, and cares deeply about the humans sitting across from them. You are fully licensed in Tennessee (LPC-MHSP, LCSW, or LMFT) and ready to practice independently, but you also like collaboration and value good clinical conversation. We have worked hard to combine rigor and high-quality care with a fun and friendly work culture. Our staff aims to quietly take care of operations so you can stay focused on your patients. We strive to offer the ideal balance of a small group practice feel on the ground with strong business expertise and technology behind the scenes.
