About TMH Behavioral Services

TMH Behavioral Services is a growing behavioral health organization committed to helping individuals overcome life’s challenges, achieve emotional wellness, and build healthier lives. Our team provides culturally responsive mental health services in homes, schools, clinics, and community settings.

As we expand our Senior Behavioral Health Program, we are seeking compassionate therapists who are passionate about supporting older adults through life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, and adjustment challenges.

This role is ideal for clinicians who value relationship-based therapy, meaningful conversations, and supporting older adults as they navigate important stages of life.
