Lead With Heart. Shape Care. Change Lives.

 

Are you a purpose-driven clinical leader ready to make a lasting impact on teens, young adults, and families? Embark Behavioral Health is seeking a Clinical Director to lead our OP/IOP/PHP programs in Ashburn, VA.

In this role, you’ll do more than manage programs—you’ll shape clinical culture, mentor future leaders, and ensure exceptional care. We’re looking for a licensed mental health clinician (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) with strong leadership skills, a passion for guiding teams, and a commitment to meaningful outcomes. If you’re a licensed clinician in Virginia—or close to obtaining your Clinical Supervision Certification to mentor and guide other therapists, we strongly encourage you to apply!

 

At Embark, we invest in our people and align around a bold mission: to reduce teen and young adult anxiety, depression, and suicide from all-time highs to all-time lows by 2028. If you’re ready to lead with compassion and purpose, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities

  • Provide clinical leadership and oversight across OP, IOP, and PHP levels of care
  • Mentor, coach, and develop therapists, fostering professional growth and clinical excellence
  • Ensure high‑quality, evidence‑based treatment and clinical best practices
  • Build a culture of psychological safety, collaboration, and accountability
  • Partner with leadership to strengthen programs, improve outcomes, and support sustainable growth
  • Serve as a steady, compassionate presence for both clients and clinicians

Qualifications

  • Licensure: Fully Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) or Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or equivalent in the state of Virginia required.  Full Licensure in Maryland and DC a plus. 
    • Candidates must be prepared to establish (or already have) a CAQH profile and obtain a National Provider Identifier (NPI) as part of the onboarding process.
  • Education: Minimum master's Degree in Behavioral Sciences - Social Work (MSW,) Clinical Social Work (CSW,) Clinical Mental Counseling (CMHC), Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or a related discipline.
  • Required: Authorized to provide clinical supervision in the state where the clinic is located by the appropriate state licensing agency or eligible with completion of training within six months of employment. 

Benefits

  • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance – Multiple plan options including PPO and HDHPs with HSA eligibility and company contributions.
  • Paid Parental Leave – Up to 6 weeks fully paid for exempt employees and 4 weeks for non-exempt.
  • Life & Disability Coverage – Company-paid life, AD&D, and long-term disability; voluntary life and optional short-term disability available.
  • 401(k) with Company Match – Retirement savings with matching contributions after eligibility period.
