TMH BEHAVIORAL SERVICES

Adult Therapist (Pre-Licensed)

Full-Time|Hybrid: In-Office, Virtual & Community-Based|Chicago, Illinois

NHSC-Approved Site — Student Loan Repayment Eligible

Early in your career is exactly when your work environment matters most. At TMH Behavioral Services, we have built a role that gives pre-licensed clinicians what they actually need — a real caseload from day one, free supervision, and a team that is genuinely invested in your growth.

We are a culturally relevant, mission-driven behavioral health organization serving adults across Chicago in office, telehealth, and community-based settings. If you are an MSW, MFT, or LPC-track clinician who is ready to build your skills, earn your hours, and make a real impact — we want to meet you.

Student Loan Repayment — A Benefit Worth Thousands

TMH Behavioral Services is an approved National Health Service Corps (NHSC) site. That means qualifying clinicians may be eligible for the NHSC Loan Repayment Program — one of the most significant financial benefits available to early-career behavioral health professionals.

If you are carrying student loan debt from your graduate program, this is a benefit worth serious attention. Eligibility is based on individual qualification — we encourage you to explore this opportunity at nhsc.hrsa.gov.

Why Clinicians Choose This Role

We know what early-career clinicians are up against — student loan debt, the pressure to accumulate hours, and roles that underpay and undersupport. We built this position differently.

• Built-in caseload from day one — no cold outreach, no waiting to fill your schedule. Consistent client referrals are provided.
• Free clinical supervision — provided at no cost to you, aligned with your licensure track requirements. That is real money back in your pocket every month.
• Create your own schedule — full autonomy over your weekly calendar within a structured and accountable framework.
• Hybrid flexibility — serve clients in the office, via telehealth, and in community-based settings.
• $500 annual CEU reimbursement — plus free access to CEUs through TMH's IDFPR-approved CE Sponsor program.
• NHSC loan repayment eligibility — for qualifying clinicians, this benefit alone can be transformative.
• Diverse clinical experience — individual therapy, community support, and case management across multiple settings.
• Supportive clinical leadership — we are invested in your development, not just your productivity.
