Clinical Manager (Psychiatry)

Job Type

Full-time

Description

The mental health system is broken-dominated by corporate interests, non-clinical leaders, and clinics prioritizing profits over quality care. Clinicians are overworked, undervalued, and stripped of autonomy, forced into environments that fail to inspire or sustain them. At Lorenz Clinic, we're different.

We prioritize excellence by hiring only the top 5% of therapists, ensuring you'll work alongside smart, inspiring colleagues. We offer time to thrive : paid time off, paid burnout time, consultation, CEUs, holidays, and generous parental leave. Clinicians have control over their workload, a supportive community, and a shared commitment to quality over profit. And you can help us advance that cause.

Make a difference on Main Street, not Wall Street. Join Lorenz Clinic and help build the future of mental healthcare-clinician-led, inspiring, and sustainable. Join us, and never give up hope for what mental healthcare could be.
