Description
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.
3 Days a week - 8am - 5pm
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
- Deliver care grounded in evidence-based practices, including DBT, CBT, CPT, IFS, Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) and trauma-informed care.
Assessment & Treatment Planning
- Conduct comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments
- Develop individualized, clinically appropriate treatment plans
- Evaluate level of care needs based on medical necessity
- Support discharge planning to promote long-term success
Documentation & Clinical Integrity
- Complete progress notes, treatment plans, and discharge summaries in a timely manner
- Ensure documentation meets regulatory, ethical, and insurance standards
- Maintain accuracy, clarity, and clinical justification in all records
Collaboration & Team-Based Care
- Work closely with a multidisciplinary team including case managers, medical staff, and leadership
- Participate in case consultations and team meetings
- Coordinate care with admissions and administrative teams to support smooth client transitions
Growth & Professional Development
- Engage in supervision and ongoing clinical development
- In-house training
- Participate in quality improvement initiatives and best practice implementation
- Strengthen clinical judgment, documentation skills, and therapeutic approach
Why this role is different
- 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
- You'll be supervised and supported in a way that develops your clinical identity, not just your hours toward licensure
What We're Looking For
- 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 commitment to ethical, culturally responsive, and compassionate care
Why join us
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.
