Pillars of Wellness is a dynamic and innovative mental health organization dedicated to providing high-quality, client-centered care while fostering professional growth for our clinicians. We believe in creating a supportive and engaging work environment where clinicians can thrive, develop their expertise, and make a lasting impact in their communities.
This role qualifies as a Center of Excellence (CoE) position, which provides clinicians with a structured pathway to develop expertise in a specific program, niche, or service line while maintaining a reduced caseload. The CoE model is designed to foster both professional growth and organizational innovation by allowing clinicians to dedicate time to program development, leadership, and specialized service expansion. As clinicians progress within the CoE framework, they can further reduce their caseload expectations in alignment with their program's growth and impact. Our goal is to empower all staff to explore their passion areas, refine their leadership skills, and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of our organization and the field of mental health. We are seeking a Wellness Specialist (Therapist) to join our team and play a key role in promoting clinician wellness, work-life balance, and overall health among our staff members.
This unique role combines direct client care with the development and implementation of wellness initiatives for agency staff.
