About The Position

Cerebral and Resilience Lab have joined forces to build a new standard in mental health care—one that emphasizes better outcomes through stronger clinical decision-making, rigorous training, and professional excellence. By combining Resilience Lab’s Methodology & clinically-led training Institute with Cerebral’s extensive reach, clinical network, and care capabilities, we are creating a national model for high-quality, integrated, and accessible behavioral health care.
We believe quality mental health care starts with curiosity, professionalism, and mastery of clinical decision-making. Joining our team means committing to show up on your best foot every day where you’ll be equipped with structured training, supportive supervision, and a methodology designed to guide you in making sound clinical decisions.
The Role:
We are seeking Therapy Associates (provisionally licensed clinicians) who want to develop expertise in clinical-decision making and lay the foundation for a lasting career.

Training kicks off with a two-week, structured program delivered live through online video sessions from 12–2 pm ET, plus asynchronous assignments. Continue growing through ongoing learning and supervision that emphasizes reflection, reasoning, and quality clinical judgement. From your very first interaction, you are expected to put your best foot forward—professional, present, and focused on delivering high-quality care. By embracing our approach, you will gain the skills and judgment that will guide your career in mental health care.
