About this role
WellPower is seeking a Mental Health Therapist II to deliver comprehensive case management and psychosocial services to adults navigating mental health challenges in the Denver area. In this role, you'll work directly with consumers across a spectrum of support intensities—from crisis intervention to long-term recovery—helping them stabilize housing, access benefits, develop daily living skills, and build meaningful community connections. You'll also coordinate with families, employers, landlords, and local agencies to strengthen each person's support network and foster their path toward independence.
The position requires a master's degree in psychology, social work, or a related field, with at least one year of mental health or human services experience preferred. A critical part of the job involves using your own vehicle to transport clients to appointments and services (WellPower reimburses business insurance). You'll handle all clinical documentation, maintain trauma-informed practices, and balance both office-based work and community outreach during standard Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm hours on a hybrid schedule.
Compensation is $31.25–$65,000 annually at the master's level, with potential differentials for bilingual proficiency in Spanish or ASL. This role suits clinicians drawn to direct, hands-on work with vulnerable populations and comfortable with the flexibility and responsibility that community-based mental health practice demands.
