Mental Health Therapist (Full Licensure)

Description

We're glad you found us. Athena Care has been offering high quality, accessible mental health care for over twenty years. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that great care starts with great clinicians who actually feel supported. We're an insurance-based practice growing across Tennessee, and we're looking for a therapist near Memphis to join our team — though if you're somewhere else in TN, let's talk anyway.

We offer psychological testing, IOP/PHP, Spravato/IM Ketamine, TMS, psychotherapy, group therapy, and general psychiatry— often all under one roof. It's a lot — and it means your patients receive genuinely comprehensive care, and you get unique and interesting colleagues.

Who we're looking for Someone who is curious about people. Someone who finds energy in working with a diverse patient population and cares deeply about the humans sitting across from them. You're fully licensed in Tennessee (LPC-MHSP, LCSW, or LMFT) and ready to practice independently — but that doesn't mean you want to work in isolation. You like collaboration; you value good clinical conversation, and you'd appreciate a team that actually has your back.

Here's what we offer

Flexibility that's actually flexible — part-time fee-for-service, full-time fee-for-service with benefits, salary models that can be shaped around your schedule, and any blend of in-person and remote that works for your life A real multidisciplinary team — you'll collaborate with fellow therapists, PMHNPs, psychiatrists, and psychologists. Real collaboration, not just a org chart bullet point Clinical leadership that's approachable — our support team genuinely wants to help you do your best work Continuity with your patients — outpatient work means you get to walk alongside people over time, which is where the real work happens Your day-to-day role You'll provide outpatient therapy to adults, adolescents, and/or children navigating behavioral health challenges. That means assessments, diagnoses, treatment planning, progress notes, and regular collaboration with the broader care team. You'll keep your documentation timely and accurate in our EMR, maintain your licensure, and show up as a thoughtful, engaged member of the team.
