About the Role

Avento Health is a recruiting agency partnering with a PHP/IOP treatment provider in the Delray Beach, Florida area. Our client provides trauma-informed, relational care for adults navigating substance use disorder (SUD), process addictions (including sex addiction/compulsive sexual behavior), co-occurring mental health conditions, and trauma-related presentations.

Important: This schedule is designed to work alongside a private practice. Clinicians typically finish the program day around 3:00 PM and can continue seeing private practice clients after program hours (evenings and/or weekends).

Why This Role

• Consistent daytime schedule with strong work-life structure

• 1099 flexibility for clinicians balancing other professional commitments

• Supportive multidisciplinary team (therapy, psychiatry, support staff)

• Training and professional development opportunities (including CSAT curriculum support for full-time clinicians)

• Strong clinical judgment, boundaries, and communication skills

• Ability to complete timely clinical documentation (including insurance-related documentation as needed)

• Comfort working within structured program policies that support safety and boundaries

• Ability to work on-site in Delray Beach, FL

What You’ll Do

As a Primary Therapist in our PHP/IOP program, you’ll support clients through intensive treatment using evidence-informed care and coordinated treatment planning.

• Facilitate group therapy as assigned (groups are typically 2 hours; full-time clinicians generally facilitate 1–2 groups per week, based on scheduling needs)

• Support scheduling and documentation responsibilities tied to your caseload and groups

• Conduct family calls and occasional family sessions when clinically appropriate

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team (therapy, psychiatry, and support staff)

• Participate in treatment planning, case consultation, and clinical meetings (including weekly caseload group meetings)

• Complete accurate, timely clinical documentation and insurance-related notes as needed

Key Responsibilities

• Provide individual therapy to PHP/IOP clients

• Serve as primary therapist for an assigned caseload

Caseload expectations

• Part-Time: approximately 6–7 clients

• Full-Time: approximately 10–11 clients

Utilization Review / Peer-to-Peer

The program manages utilization review internally. Peer-to-peer reviews are handled by the Clinical Director. Therapists are expected to maintain strong documentation and provide timely clinical updates when needed.

Additional Compensation Opportunity

The program occasionally serves cash-pay intensive clients. When these cases are assigned, compensation to the clinician is higher.

Preferred Qualifications (Not Required)

• Experience in PHP/IOP, residential, or higher-acuity outpatient settings

• Training or experience in trauma-focused approaches (EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Psychodrama, etc.)

• Experience with process addictions, including sex addiction/compulsive sexual behavior
