About Greater Georgia Behavioral Health

Greater Georgia


Behavioral Health is launching Groundwork, a new Adolescent Afterschool Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) based in Fayetteville, GA. The program will serve adolescents ages 12 to 17 through individual, group, and family therapy, drawing on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches including DBT-A, CBT, trauma-focused work, and family systems.

The Opportunity

As Groundwork prepares to launch, Greater Georgia Behavioral Health is looking for an Adolescent Primary Therapist to help build the clinical foundation of the program from the ground up. This full-time, in-person role is a strong fit for a clinician ready to carry an individual adolescent caseload, lead groups, and help shape a brand-new program from day one. Two positions are open, with a target start date ahead of program launch.


What You'll Do


  • Manage an individual adolescent caseload (ages 12 to 17), including family therapy

  • Complete intake assessments and biopsychosocials

  • Develop and implement treatment plans based on client needs and goals, with ongoing updates and reviews

  • Complete discharge summaries and maintain collateral contacts with guardians, schools, and outside providers

  • Use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including DBT-A, CBT, trauma-focused, and family systems approaches, to support positive change

  • Facilitate process, skills, and psychoeducation groups and therapeutic discussions

  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date clinical documentation and records; collect and analyze data to evaluate treatment effectiveness and adjust care accordingly

  • Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to ensure comprehensive care


Requirements


What You Bring


  • Master's degree in Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, or a related behavioral health field

  • Independently licensed or license-eligible Georgia clinician strongly preferred: LPC, LCSW, or LMFT (or license-eligible upon completion of supervised hours); associate-licensed candidates (APC, LMSW, MFT-A) under board-approved supervision also considered

  • Minimum 1 year providing individual and group counseling services; adolescent and family experience preferred (practicum or internship experience considered for associate-licensed candidates)

  • Knowledge of PTSD care and trauma-informed approaches; ability to work with individuals with developmental disabilities; sensitivity to gender issues in counseling

  • Familiarity with medical records management and ICD-10-CM coding

  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills; comfort with risk assessment and mandated reporting

  • CPR/First Aid certification within 30 days of hire


Preferred


  • PHP/IOP or structured level-of-care experience with commercial payors and utilization review

  • Experience with KIPU or a comparable behavioral health EMR

About Atlantic Health Strategies™

You didn’t enter the Behavioral Health space to drown in paperwork, stress over Joint Commission audits, or troubleshoot IT tickets. You did it to help patients and build a successful business.

At Atlantic Health Strategies, we handle the "business of the business" so you can focus on the mission.

We are your full-spectrum behavioral health support partner.

We aren't just consultants who hand you a binder of rules and walk away. We are operators who have sat in your seat. We know that in this industry, Compliance is the spine of your operation, and a strong spine needs muscle (HR) and a nervous system (IT) to function.

We act as your Strategic Anchor, translating complex regulations into clear, profitable business strategies for Founders and Investors.

How we stabilize and grow your organization:

Licensure, Accreditation & Compliance: We speak fluent "regulatory." From De Novo startups to multi-state expansions, we navigate the red tape so you don’t have to. We turn "audit panic" into "audit readiness."

HR Managed Services: Generalist HR firms don’t understand clinical ratios or behavioral health burnout. We do. We manage credentialing, staffing, and culture to keep your team compliant and your retention high.

IT Managed Services: Behavioral Health IT isn't about fixing printers; it's about HIPAA security and EHR integrity. We build secure, compliant tech infrastructures that protect your patient data and your license.

M&A Advisory & Due diligence: Buying or selling? Don’t buy a headache. We perform deep-dive operational audits to ensure the asset is clean, compliant, and ready for growth.

The Atlantic Difference:

We bridge the gap between "Clinical Empathy" and "Business Rigor." Whether you are a Visionary Founder who hates the details or an Investor who needs to mitigate risk, we are the partner that keeps the doors open and the business growing.

Let’s get to work.
