Job Summary
Sage Therapy is currently seeking a Fully Licensed Clinical Supervisor (LCSW, LCPC, PsyD or PhD) who is interested in joining the team as a Lead Supervisor. The Lead Supervisor will work collaboratively on an existing lead supervisor team, will report directly to the Chief Operating Officer, and will work closely with the executive leadership team to develop and support the organization clinically. The Lead Supervisor will provide direct clinical services, management and leadership oversight. This role is responsible for supervising and consulting with cohorts of supervisors and fully licensed clinical staff, leading performance management and employee review processes, and maintaining active investment in key performance indicators (KPIs) and the overall operational and clinical health of the organization. This role is ideal for someone interested in focusing on clinical and organizational leadership, as well as supervisor development, with direct client care remaining a component of the position but not the primary focus.
Our priority is to provide the support and tools you need to grow as a leader, invest in the development of your supervisees, and continue doing meaningful clinical work. Resources provided by Sage Therapy include: support of an administrative team that manages intake process, billing and credentialing, liability insurance, comprehensive benefits, access to group and 1:1 clinical consultation and leadership coaching, in house training and CEU opportunities, and training funds for external training.
Additionally, we offer opportunities to grow professionally and creatively through participation in program development, community outreach, and a variety of projects, including blogging, video creation, workshops, presentations, social media, and brand development.
Sage prioritizes creating an integrated, connected, and joyful work culture by regularly offering in person and virtual events that focus on team building, clinician wellness, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships across our team.
This salaried position includes competitive pay and scheduling flexibility, in addition to a comprehensive benefits package including healthcare benefits (medical, dental and vision), paid parental leave, and retirement plan options with employer contributions.
Sage Therapy recognizes that historically underserved and marginalized communities are disproportionately impacted by systemic inequities that contribute to mental health challenges. We are committed to providing affirming, culturally responsive mental health services and building a workplace where every employee feels valued, respected, and has a genuine sense of belonging. We value the unique perspectives, lived experiences, and strengths that each person brings to our team and believe that a diverse team makes us stronger. We strongly encourage individuals from historically underrepresented communities including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, veterans and others whose experiences enrich our organization to apply!
