Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) or Licensed Associate Addiction Counselor (LAAC)

About Us

At Phoenix Rise Health and Wellness, we provide compassionate care for mental health and substance use disorders, with personalized plans to guide each client's recovery. We deliver accessible care that helps clients build healthy habits, restore relationships, and support lasting recovery, using evidence-based approaches including CBT and trauma-focused therapy. Every person's journey matters here.

The Role

We're hiring a full-time associate counselor to provide direct clinical services under the supervision of a licensed professional, as required by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (AZBBHE). You'll carry a caseload of adult clients while accumulating the supervised hours you need toward independent licensure (LPC or LISAC). We provide clinical supervision on-site at no cost to you.

Because we treat both mental health and substance use disorders, we welcome candidates holding either an LAC (general counseling) or an LAAC (addiction counseling) credential.

Responsibilities

• Conduct intake assessments and develop individualized treatment plans
• Provide individual and group counseling to adult clients
• Deliver evidence-based interventions (CBT, trauma-focused approaches)
• Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation in KIPU (our EHR)
• Coordinate care with our clinical team and outside providers
• Participate in scheduled clinical supervision and case consultation
• Practice within your credential's scope and Arizona statute

Required Qualifications

• Active AZBBHE LAC or LAAC credential (or eligible with issuance pending)
• Master's degree in counseling or a related behavioral science field
• Commitment to working under direct clinical supervision toward independent licensure
• Strong clinical documentation and time-management skills

Preferred

• Experience treating adults with mental health and/or co-occurring substance use concerns
• Familiarity with KIPU or a comparable EHR

What We Offer

• Free on-site AZBBHE-approved clinical supervision toward your independent license
• Steady referral flow and a supported adult caseload
• A collaborative team of behavioral health professional

Pay: $60,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year
