Clinical Director – Adolescent Behavioral Health (LCSW, LMFT, or Psychologist)

Overview

Silver State Adolescent Treatment Center is seeking an experienced, independently licensed behavioral health professional to serve as our Clinical Director.

Silver State is a growing Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) serving adolescents ages 11–17 with complex behavioral and mental health needs. Our mission is to provide high-quality, trauma-informed care that helps young people stabilize, heal, and successfully return to their families and communities.

The Clinical Director is a key member of our executive leadership team and provides oversight of the facility’s therapists, case managers, treatment planning, and clinical programming. This position offers the opportunity to develop a strong clinical team, improve treatment services, and help shape the continued growth of a newer adolescent program.

The ideal candidate is a confident and approachable leader who can balance clinical excellence, staff development, regulatory compliance, and the day-to-day realities of working with high-acuity youth. Candidates should have experience supervising behavioral health professionals and a strong understanding of treatment planning, clinical documentation, family engagement, crisis management, and Medicaid medical-necessity requirements.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced LCSW, LMFT, or licensed psychologist who wants to move beyond carrying a traditional caseload and make a broader impact on clinical quality, staff culture, and the lives of adolescents.
