Clinical Supervisor

Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF)

This role is designed for a clinician who thinks carefully about systems, relationships, and the conditions that shape behavior over time. The Clinical Supervisor works within a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility serving children and adolescents and holds responsibility for both direct clinical care and the clinical framework that supports it. The work sits at the intersection of therapy, supervision, and program-level judgment.

It asks for someone who can move fluidly between individual treatment and the broader clinical environment, attentive to how decisions, routines, and relationships influence the tone and effectiveness of care. Clinical practice within the program is grounded in evidence-based, skills-oriented approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the supervisor plays a key role in supporting its thoughtful application across treatment and milieu.

Because this is a newly launched program, for the first month or two, some evening presence may be requested to observe the milieu, notice emerging patterns, and inform early treatment planning as the program takes shape.
