Licensed Clinical Therapist LSW, LPC, LCSW, LCPC

Bailey Behavioral Health is expanding into McHenry County, Illinois, and we are looking for strong clinical candidates who understand—or are eager to develop a strong understanding of—the unique demands of working in a private practice setting.

We are seeking licensed and provisionally licensed clinical therapists who are dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate mental health care and who are passionate about the populations we serve.

Our ideal candidate is driven, dependable, clinically competent, and comfortable balancing the autonomy of private practice with the collaboration and support of a group practice. Knowledge of and/or previous experience working in a private practice setting is strongly preferred. Candidates should understand the importance of maintaining a consistent caseload, timely clinical documentation, professional communication, client retention and continuity of care, scheduling responsibility, ethical practice, and collaboration with administrative and billing teams.

At Bailey Behavioral Health, we value strong communication, integrity, authenticity, accountability, and professionalism. We believe in a relational approach not only in the work we do with our clients, but also in the way we work together as a team.

Bring your authentic self to our team.
