About this role
Lone Star Circle of Care, a federally qualified health center in Austin, is seeking a licensed therapist to work with patients struggling with substance use in an outpatient setting. You'd be working directly with an underserved population that often faces significant barriers to care, providing individual therapy both in person and virtually. The role emphasizes clinical autonomy—you'll select therapeutic approaches, conduct assessments using DSM-5-TR, develop care plans, and determine when patients need higher levels of care, while maintaining close collaboration with colleagues and community partners.
This position suits someone with a LCSW or LPC credential who is genuinely mission-driven about expanding mental health access and comfortable working independently within a team environment. You'll need solid experience with substance use clients, strong documentation and telemedicine skills, and the ability to navigate a fast-paced clinical setting while seeking consultation when needed.
The organization offers a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage; a 403(b) retirement plan; 15 days of vacation annually plus personal, sick, and holiday leave; an annual continuing education stipend with three paid days off; and professional licensing fee reimbursement. You may also qualify for federal or state student loan repayment programs.
