Mindify Wellness and Care is hiring behavioral health professionals to provide telehealth and onsite services for established caseloads at our partner adult day centers in:

• East Orange

Therapists may select one or more locations based on their availability. We welcome clinicians who can commit to one center as well as those interested in serving multiple locations.

What Mindify Provides
