Job DescriptionDescription: GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POSITION: This is more than a clinical role. It's a chance to be present at the moments that change lives — and to grow into the therapist you're meant to become. We believe in a simple but powerful vision: a community where everyone has access to the mental health care they need and deserve. Across our full continuum of care — PHP, IOP, residential, dual diagnosis, eating disorder, and adolescent services — our mission is clear: alleviate suffering, restore hope, and create lasting change for individuals, families, and communities. Who we're looking for You're a developing clinician who wants more than a caseload — you want mentorship, clinical depth, and work that actually matters. You thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments. You're energized by complexity, not intimidated by it. Great clinical work doesn't happen by accident — it's developed, supported, and continuously strengthened. At Tatum, we invest in our therapists through structured supervision, in-house training, and a team culture built around clinical excellence. You'll work alongside case managers, medical staff, and experienced clinicians — with real support at every step. Schedule: Monday - Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm What You’ll Do Direct Clinical Care • Provide individual, group, couples, and family therapy, • Support clients navigating mental health and co-occurring challenges, • Deliver crisis intervention and stabilization when needed, • Monitor client progress and adjust treatment approaches accordingly, • Conduct comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, • Develop individualized, clinically appropriate treatment plans, • Evaluate level of care needs based on medical necessity, • Complete progress notes, treatment plans, and discharge summaries in a timely manner, • Ensure documentation meets regulatory, ethical, and insurance standards, • Work closely with a multidisciplinary team including case managers, medical staff, and leadership, • Participate in case consultations and team meetings, • Engage in supervision and ongoing clinical development, • In-house training, • Participate in quality improvement initiatives and best practice implementation, • You'll work across a full continuum of care — which means you'll actually see where clients go, how they progress, and what makes the difference at each level, • You'll be part of a collaborative clinical team that consults together, challenges each other, and takes the work seriously, • You'll gain exposure to complex, diverse populations and clinical presentations, • A developing clinician who is genuinely drawn to behavioral health — especially complex, high-acuity presentations, • Someone who values both clinical quality and human connection, • Strong communication, organization, and documentation skills, • The ability to stay grounded and thoughtful in a fast-paced, team-based environment A lot of places say they invest in their clinicians. We mean it structurally — through supervision, in-house training, case consultation, and a team culture where asking hard clinical questions is expected, not avoided. TPEG exists because the Central Valley needs and deserves a continuum of behavioral health care. The programs we've built serve people who often have nowhere else to go. That's not a marketing line — it shapes how we show up every day. You'll grow here. You'll be challenged here. You’ll know that the work you're doing matters. You belong here.
