CLINICAL WORK THAT FITS YOUR LIFE

Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health is seeking Ohio licensed therapists who want meaningful work with greater control over their schedules. Choose office-based care, school-based care or a combination of both.

This position offers an alternative to a traditional full-time caseload. Clinicians establish consistent availability with C&A and provide direct care during those hours. The role may complement another position, support a gradual return to practice or provide a flexible way to stay connected to clinical work in the community.
