Direct Care Expectation: Approx. 15 hours/week (flexible based on supervisory load)
About the Role
Are you an independently licensed clinician ready to step into a leadership role without completely stepping away from direct patient care? Prairie View is seeking a Lead Outpatient Clinician to champion a dedicated team of therapists while maintaining a focused, rewarding clinical practice.

Culture & Accountability: Foster a supportive, high-morale work environment while ensuring the team hits organizational expectations and documentation standards.
Direct Clinical Care: Dedicate approximately 15 hours a week to providing evaluations, individual/family therapy, and consultations for a diverse patient population (children through older adults).
Collaborative Practice: Partner with internal multidisciplinary teams and external care providers to ensure seamless, authorized care.
What We’re Looking For
Licensure: Active, independent clinical license issued by the Kansas BSRB (LSCSW, LCP, LCPC, LCMFT, or LP) in good standing.
Experience: A strong background in mental health therapy/assessment, plus at least one (1) year of supervisory or relevant leadership experience.
Clinical Excellence: Versed in multiple modalities (cognitive, behavioral, supportive, psychodynamic) with strong diagnostic and quality documentation skills.
Compliance: Ability to pass the KBI background screen and Central Registry screens, and qualify for full credentialing with Prairie View.
