  • LMFT

  • Or independently licensed equivalent

• Strong leadership background within behavioral health, crisis services, inpatient psych, substance use, or community mental health

• Experience supervising clinical teams and supporting high-acuity patient populations

• Ability to lead in a fast-paced, evolving environment

• Strong communication, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Leadership role with meaningful impact on patient care and program development

• Highly collaborative clinical environment

• Opportunity to mentor and develop growing clinical teams

• Stable, mission-focused organization serving the Mesa community

• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, PTO, retirement plans, and more
