Job description

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.

3 Days a week - 8am - 5pm

What You’ll Do

Direct Clinical Care

• Provide individual, group, couples, and family therapy
• Support clients navigating mental health and co-occurring challenges
• Deliver crisis intervention and stabilization when needed
• Monitor client progress and adjust treatment approaches accordingly
• Deliver care grounded in evidence-based practices, including DBT, CBT, CPT, IFS, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) and trauma-informed care.

Assessment & Treatment Planning

• Conduct comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments
• Develop individualized, clinically appropriate treatment plans
• Evaluate level of care needs based on medical necessity
• Support discharge planning to promote long-term success

Documentation & Clinical Integrity

• Complete progress notes, treatment plans, and discharge summaries in a timely manner
• Ensure documentation meets regulatory, ethical, and insurance standards
• Maintain accuracy, clarity, and clinical justification in all records

Collaboration & Team-Based Care

• Work closely with a multidisciplinary team including case managers, medical staff, and leadership
• Participate in case consultations and team meetings
• Coordinate care with admissions and administrative teams to support smooth client transitions

Growth & Professional Development

• Engage in supervision and ongoing clinical development
• In-house training
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives and best practice implementation
• Strengthen clinical judgment, documentation skills, and therapeutic approach

Why this role is different

• You’ll work across a full continuum of care — which means you’ll actually see where clients go, how they progress, and what makes the difference at each level
• You’ll be part of a collaborative clinical team that consults together, challenges each other, and takes the work seriously
• You’ll gain exposure to complex, diverse populations and clinical presentations
• You'll be supervised and supported in a way that develops your clinical identity, not just your hours toward licensure

What We’re Looking For

• A developing clinician who is genuinely drawn to behavioral health — especially complex, high-acuity presentations
• Someone who values both clinical quality and human connection
• Strong communication, organization, and documentation skills
• The ability to stay grounded and thoughtful in a fast-paced, team-based environment
• A commitment to ethical, culturally responsive, and compassionate care

Why join us

A lot of places say they invest in their clinicians. We mean it structurally — through supervision, in-house training, case consultation, and a team culture where asking hard clinical questions is expected, not avoided.

TPEG exists because the Central Valley needs and deserves a continuum of behavioral health care. The programs we've built serve people who often have nowhere else to go. That's not a marketing line — it shapes how we show up every day.

You’ll grow here. You’ll be challenged here. You’ll know that the work you’re doing matters. You belong here.
