Licensed Program Therapist
Position Licensed Program Therapist

Location: The Wave of Clearwater

Schedule: Full-time

Salary $60,000–$70,000 annually, based on experience

The Wave of Clearwater is looking for a compassionate, creative, and clinically skilled Licensed Program Therapist
to join a multidisciplinary behavioral health team doing real, hands-on clinical work in a residential setting. You'll carry
a caseload, run groups, and be a steady clinical presence for clients working through some of the hardest chapters of
their lives — supported by a full clinical team and a program built around integrative, trauma-informed care.

Why The Wave
Work within an integrative clinical model — Gestalt, DBT, CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic, and Solution-Focused approaches — rather than a single rigid modality.
Collaborate alongside specialty clinicians offering EMDR, ART, and Critical Memory Integration (CMI™), with real interdisciplinary case coordination.
Join a program that treats holistic wellness, expressive arts, and daily structure as core clinical components, not extras.
Be part of a supportive treatment team and consistent supervision structure, with room to grow clinically.

What You'll Do

• Manage an assigned caseload and provide consistent individual therapy.
• Facilitate engaging, evidence-based therapeutic groups.
• Develop creative group content that addresses clients' clinical and recovery needs.
• Complete biopsychosocial assessments and other required clinical evaluations.
• Develop, review, and update individualized treatment plans.
• Complete progress notes, discharge planning, and other clinical documentation within established deadlines.
• Assess safety concerns and participate in crisis intervention when necessary.
• Coordinate care with providers, families, referral sources, and members of the treatment team.
• Participate in treatment-team meetings and contribute clinical recommendations.
• Support continuity of care throughout admission, treatment, and discharge.
• Maintain compliance with ethical, licensing, organizational, and regulatory standards.

 What You'll Need

• Master's degree in counseling
• Social work, marriage and family therapy, 
• psychology, or a related behavioral health
  field.
• Active Florida license as an LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT.

Experience providing individual and group therapy.
Strong clinical documentation, communication, and organizational skills.
Ability to provide trauma-informed, client-centered care.
Behavioral health, mental health, eating-disorder, or substance-use treatment experience preferred.
