Psychotherapist

Licensed Psychotherapist (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PhD/PsyD)

Madison Behavioral Health is a new outpatient group practice currently located in the Monroe Street neighborhood of Madison, WI. We are seeking a licensed psychotherapist to join our practice as an anchor clinician, with a willingness to grow into a leadership role and help shape the practice. This position is open to licensed clinicians at all career stages, but is uniquely well-suited to clinicians in the early stages of their careers interested in building a part-time to full-time outpatient caseload in a supportive group practice setting.

Position Overview

MBH is open to hiring clinicians with various interest areas and clinical competencies. We currently offer outpatient psychotherapy services to clients ranging from children (age
8) through older adults. We are particularly interested in clinicians comfortable working with younger children and their families.
