Clinical Lead (Part-Time) – Virginia Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP)

This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned clinician who is passionate about quality care, regulatory compliance, staff development, and organizational growth.

The ideal candidate is confident, self-directed, organized, and capable of operating independently without constant oversight. We are seeking someone who brings expertise, solutions, and guidance—not someone who requires extensive management to complete responsibilities.
