  • Licensed Clinical Psychologist, LCSW, or other Medicare/Medicaid-billable credential eligible for Missouri licensure with a solid clinical foundation.
  • 5+ years in behavioral health leadership, with demonstrated success in building integrated care models and leading multidisciplinary teams.
  • Expertise in SUD treatment and MAT , as well as experience with innovative, evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
