Primary Therapist | Georgia
About The Position
Our client is a behavioral health treatment organization in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area offering a comprehensive continuum of care for individuals navigating mental health and substance use conditions. Their programs span Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and standard Outpatient levels of care, with a strong emphasis on dual-diagnosis treatment that addresses both psychiatric conditions and substance use together. Their therapeutic approach draws on evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), EMDR, trauma-informed therapy, motivational interviewing, and holistic practices. Among the populations they are deeply committed to serving are veterans and military-connected individuals. We are seeking a compassionate, clinically grounded Primary Therapist to join this multidisciplinary team. This is a full-time, on-site role centered on delivering individual and group therapy within a structured, supportive clinical environment. The organization has a strong commitment to serving veterans, and candidates with that clinical background or a personal connection to military service are especially encouraged to apply. This is a great opportunity for a clinician who is actively working toward full licensure and wants to grow in a setting that takes clinical development seriously.
