Associate Therapist / Licensed Therapist

Description GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POSITION

• This is more than a clinical role.
• It's a chance to be present at the moments that change lives — and to grow into the therapist you're meant to become.
• We believe in a simple but powerful vision: a community where everyone has access to the mental health care they need and deserve.
• Across our full continuum of care — PHP, IOP, residential, dual diagnosis, eating disorder, and adolescent services — our mission is clear: alleviate suffering, restore hope, and create lasting change for individuals, families, and communities.
• Who we're looking for You're a developing clinician who wants more than a caseload — you want mentorship, clinical depth, and work that actually matters.
• You thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments.
• You're energized by complexity, not intimidated by it.
• Great clinical work doesn't happen by accident — it's developed, supported, and continuously strengthened.
• At Tatum, we invest in our therapists through structured supervision, in-house training, and a team culture built around clinical excellence.
• You'll work alongside case managers, medical staff, and experienced clinicians — with real support at every step.
• You need clinical curiosity, an interest in the eating disorder population, and the willingness to learn a specialized area of care that most clinicians never fully develop.
• We'll invest in the rest.
