Education

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)or LISW, IMFT in Ohio

Job description

Steadfast Health was founded to establish a new standard of substance use disorder (SUD) care. Recognizing that traditional treatment methods often fall short of reaching patients when they’re most in need, Steadfast is relentlessly focused on making low-barrier, high quality care accessible to all. We know that the journey to recovery is unique for every individual, and our patient-centered approach ensures we meet patients where they are, providing evidence-based therapies with unwavering support in a compassionate environment that fosters healing and growth.

Schedule: This is a full-time, 40-hour per week, fully remote, W2 position. The schedule includes required evening coverage Monday through Thursday, 5:00–8:00 PM ET, with the remainder of the 25 hours worked during daytime business hours of Monday-Friday 9a-5p.

What a Role at Steadfast Gives You

• Predictable income, every pay period: a fixed base salary plus a monthly performance incentive, not variable, per-session pay that swings with cancellations, no-shows, or slow weeks.
• Protected non-billable time, built into your schedule: 10.5 hours per week of paid, protected time for documentation, supervision, case consultation, and lunch — all part of your paid day, not unpaid work you fit in around billable hours.
• Manageable, capped caseloads: we cap caseload size to protect quality of care and your wellbeing, growth in your caseload is planned and supported, not something you’re expected to sustain indefinitely to keep your income up.
• Administrative burden handled for you: in-house billing, AI-assisted documentation support, and MA/LPN and Peer Recovery Specialist support mean your time goes to patients, not paperwork or chasing reimbursement.
• Full benefits: medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) match, paid time off, and 100% employer-paid disability and life insurance

Why Steadfast

• Healthcare Coverage: medical, dental & vision insurance, plus 100% employer-paid short- and long-term disability and life insurance.
• **401(k) Match:**up to 5% company match.
• Time Off: 29 days off a year to start (PTO, floating holidays, paid volunteer days), increasing on your anniversary — plus 4 Re-Fuel Days annually for mental health, rest, or CEU activities.
• Continuing Education: annual CEU stipend and ongoing paid training.
• **Employee Assistance Program (EAP):**free, confidential access to therapy, legal, financial, and wellness resources.
• Protected Time: built into your day for recharging, clinical supervision, huddles, care planning, and admin work.
• Clinical Support: MA/LPN and Peer Recovery Specialist support, a collaborative care model with physician backup, and manageable panel sizes.
• Additional perks: SoFi student loan interest rate discount, Rightway Health Concierge, a year of free pet telehealth through Pawp, and Perkspot discount marketplace.
• **Soulside AI** documentation support:**because your energy belongs with patients, not paperwork.

We believe lived experience with recovery is a strength, not a barrier — many of our team bring personal or family experience with addiction and recovery, and we welcome candidates in recovery to apply. This is also a ground-floor opportunity to help shape how we grow in the Raleigh market.
