Position Summary

As our Director of Behavioral Health, you will step into a pivotal leadership role designed to elevate the standard of care across our pediatric and adolescent behavioral health network. Reporting to Clinical Leadership, you will own the administrative and clinical oversight of our expanding therapy teams, bridging the gap between high-level operational strategy and everyday clinical excellence. In this 100% remote role, you will lead regional clinical managers and therapists across our active markets. You'll build scalable clinical protocols, optimize provider caseloads, and foster an environment where clinicians thrive. This role requires an active Pennsylvania LCSW and the ability to provide clinical supervision. If you're passionate about integrated care, outcome-driven therapy, and coaching clinical teams to perform at their best, you'll find a natural home here.
