FUNCTIONAL FAMILY THERAPIST SUPERVISOR
Carroll | Le Mars | Cherokee | Denison | Ida Grove | Storm Lake
Our client - a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) with locations across Northwest Iowa - is looking for a fully licensed therapist ready to step into a clinical leadership role. This is not a pure management position. You will carry a small caseload of Functional Family Therapy clients while supervising and developing a team of FFT therapists.
What You Will Do
- Provide clinical supervision to a team of FFT therapists
- Carry a small caseload of FFT families who have adolescents ages 11–18 presenting with behavioral problems
- Deliver Functional Family Therapy, a structured evidence-based model involving 12–20 family sessions over 4–8 months
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including psychiatric prescribers, case managers, and crisis staff
- Support the clinical growth and professional development of the therapists you supervise
What Makes This Different
- NHSC student loan repayment — our client is an approved site. Multiple employees have received meaningful forgiveness on graduate school debt. If you are carrying loans from your master's program, this benefit is worth understanding before you accept anything else.
- Monthly productivity goal of 102 hours — intentionally below the regional average of 112. The organization lowered it because clinicians who are not burned out do better work.
- Team-based care model — you are not working in isolation. You have direct access to prescribers, case managers, and 24/7 crisis support when your clients or the families your team is carrying need more than therapy.
- Full benefits beginning at 30 hours per week — same benefits whether you work 30 or 40 hours.
What We Are Looking For
Required:
- Master's degree (MA, MS, or MSW) from an accredited program
- Full licensure: LISW, LMFT, or LMHC — fully licensed required; this role provides supervision to others
- Experience working with adolescents, families, or individuals with behavioral and emotional challenges
- Valid Iowa driver's license
Nice to Have:
- Experience with FFT or a comparable structured evidence-based family model (MST, MDFT, BSFT)
- Prior supervisory experience, formal or informal
- Bilingual skills — pay differential available
Salary & Benefits
Salary
- $75,190 – $82,400 depending on experience
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- PTO – 160 Hours first year
- Double time on holidays worked
- 401k retirement plan – 5% company match
- Life insurance
- Short-term and long-term disability
- Approved sites for NHSC loan repayment
- Continuing Education Funds available after one year
About the Organization
Our client is a CCBHC and Community Mental Health Center with 7 locations across Northwest Iowa. As a CCBHC, they are required to serve everyone — regardless of insurance status, ability to pay, or complexity of need. The families in the FFT program are among the most underserved in the region: adolescents in crisis, families under sustained pressure, situations that other systems have already failed to address.
If the mission of community mental health is what brought you to this field, you will find your people here.
