Clinicians receive ongoing supervision, consultation, and training in evidence-based approaches, with opportunities to deepen expertise in substance use, trauma and PTSD, OCD, family work, ADHD and executive functioning, and other co-occurring conditions.What We OfferClinical Practice & Professional GrowthSmall, manageable caseloadsFour onsite days with one flex dayWeekly individual supervision and clinical consultationOngoing training in evidence-based treatment approachesStructured training in evidence-based treatments as program needs evolveA highly collaborative multidisciplinary treatment environmentCompensation & BenefitsSalary commensurate with experience ($70,000-$100,000)Medical, dental, and vision insurance401(k) with employer matchPaid time off and holiday payLife insurance and short-term disability coverageFlexible Spending, Dependent Care, and Lifestyle Spending AccountsFree lunch onsiteAccess to our onsite fitness and wellness facilityThe RoleClinicians serve as either (and sometimes both) Primary Clinicians or Family Clinicians to a maximum of 3-4 clients, depending on program needs, experience, and clinical background.

Clinicians are encouraged to bring their own expertise and clinical style while practicing within CMC's collaborative, evidence-based philosophy.How Our Team WorksCMCB relies on active interdisciplinary communication and close collaboration. Clinicians participate in team meetings, supervision, case consultation, and staff meetings while onsite and coordinate regularly with co-treating clinicians.Our flex-day structure provides scheduling flexibility while maintaining continuity of care. Because residential treatment operates 24/7, clinicians may occasionally need to respond to client matters outside scheduled hours; we work to protect clinicians' time away from work and keep these situations limited.About CMC:BerkshiresSet on 200 acres in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, approximately 2.5 hours from both New York City and Boston, CMC:Berkshires provides clinically intensive, individualized residential treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.Our maximum census of 15 clients allows clinicians to know their clients well, collaborate closely with colleagues, and adjust treatment as needs evolve. Family and support-system involvement is integrated throughout treatment whenever clinically appropriate.If you're looking for a place where you can do meaningful clinical work, continue developing professionally, and be part of a highly collaborative treatment team, we'd like to hear from you.
