Behavioral Health Clinician (LCSW or Psychologist)
About this role
About UHP
UHP — Unlock Human Potential is building a new category of education centered around whole-human experiential vocational training, leadership development, and purpose-driven transformation. UHP serves veterans, transitioning service members, and purpose-driven individuals through immersive programs that integrate human performance, leadership, wellness, vocational skills, and personal growth.
Our environment is fast-moving, mission-driven, and deeply experiential. We are not a traditional university, gym, military program, or trade school — we are building a scalable human development institution designed for the future workforce.
The Opportunity
UHP is seeking a Behavioral Health Clinician (LCSW or clinical psychologist) to serve as the licensed behavioral health professional on our campus. You'll support the mental health, psychological safety, and performance readiness of our students, who are primarily veterans in transition, and help our staff do the same.
This is a hybrid role that blends clinical judgment, proactive wellness, and instruction. It is not an ongoing therapy caseload. You'll be the licensed professional students and staff turn to when a situation calls for one: crisis response, risk assessment, behavioral health support during incidents, and referral to outside care. Mental health is central to what UHP teaches, so instruction is a core part of this role. You'll also help establish the clinical guardrails and escalation pathways that keep our team within scope of practice, and serve as UHP's subject-matter expert on behavioral health.
