TMH Behavioral Services is seeking an independently licensed therapist to provide psychotherapy to older adults in assisted living and senior living communities.
This role is a strong fit for a clinician who wants the stability of a salaried position, the autonomy to manage their own schedule, and the ability to focus on clinical care without carrying the administrative burden of private practice.
