Clinical Therapist

Company

At Alpas Wellness Centers, our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and forward‑thinking environment where people heal their minds and bodies, rediscover their purpose, and forge a path of recovery toward a brighter future. Guided by our values—Authenticity, Innovation, Patient and Staff Experience, Compassion, Safety, and Autonomy—we integrate traditional, holistic, and alternative therapies to create individualized treatment plans that truly meet each person where they are.

The Clinical Therapist works collaboratively with the client to plan, develop and monitor the individualized service plan. Treatment plans will address co‑occurring disorders, leverage Alpas Clinical programming, address family systems and other factors influencing patient’s recovery.
