Description

Grow Your Career. Impact Local Families. Experience the Mountains.

$5,000 Sign-On Bonus

Live and work in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains - with incredible hiking, outdoor recreation, small-town charm, and everything Western North Carolina has to offer.

Carolina Pediatric Therapy is looking for a Full-Time Behavioral Health Therapist who wants to grow - not just their caseload, but their skills, career, and impact.

Why Carolina Pediatric Therapy?

We provide integrated care for children from birth through age 21, with a team that believes collaboration makes all of us better clinicians.

As a full-time clinician, you’ll have more than a caseload - you’ll have the team, time, tools, and support designed to help you thrive.

Here, You’ll Have:

• Protected time built into your workday for planning, documentation, and collaboration
• Dedicated professional development and embedded mentorship to help you grow as a clinician
• True interdisciplinary collaboration with OTs, PTs, SLPs, Psychology, and Behavioral Health
• Smarter documentation and sustainable productivity, with customizable templates, AI-assisted tools, and reasonable expectations focused on quality care
• Variety in how and where you practice, including clinics, schools, and telehealth
• A clear path for career growth, with opportunities to deepen your clinical expertise, pursue leadership, and help shape a growing pediatric program

Your Home Clinic: A Place to Belong

Every clinician is centered at a designated Home Clinic, giving you a consistent professional home base even when your work takes you into the community.

You’ll have designated space for your therapy materials and professional resources, along with space to display your credentials and accomplishments.

It’s a place to belong, collaborate, stay organized, and make your own.

The Role

As a Child & Family Outpatient Therapist with Carolina Pediatric Therapy, you’ll provide evaluation, assessment, and evidence-based mental health treatment to children, adolescents, and families with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, developmental, and family-system needs.

Depending on your clinical expertise, you may support children and families experiencing challenges related to:

• Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
• Behavioral and developmental concerns
• Life transitions and adjustment
• Trauma and stressful life experiences
• Social and interpersonal challenges
• Family and parent-child relationships
• School-related concerns
• Self-esteem, coping skills, and resilience
• Neurodevelopmental differences and associated emotional or behavioral needs

You’ll develop individualized treatment plans and provide engaging, developmentally appropriate interventions that help children build skills, strengthen relationships, and participate more fully in family, school, and community life.

You’ll also have the opportunity to work closely with parents and caregivers, helping families understand their child’s needs and develop practical strategies that can support progress beyond the therapy room.

Most importantly, you won’t practice in isolation. You’ll be part of an interdisciplinary team that shares ideas, coordinates care, solves problems together, and supports one another.

We want our clinicians to build sustainable careers - not burn out doing work they love.

Benefits include:

• Medical health insurance
• 3 weeks of PTO starting in your first year
• Up to 10 paid holidays
• Continuing education allowance
• 401(k)
• Life insurance
• Mental health benefit / EAP

We’d Love to Meet You If You:
