Role summary

Steadfast Health is seeking a Licensed Clinical Therapist specializing in Substance Use Disorder (SUD) care in Cleveland, OH. This role focuses on providing low-barrier, high-quality, patient-centered care using evidence-based therapies. Responsibilities include conducting assessments, developing treatment plans, delivering individual and group therapy (in-person and telehealth), crisis intervention, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team. The position offers a Monday-Friday schedule with protected time, comprehensive benefits, and a supportive work environment. Candidates must hold an LPCC or equivalent Ohio licensure and possess strong knowledge of SUD treatment modalities.

Steadfast Health was founded to establish a new standard of substance use disorder (SUD) care. Recognizing that traditional treatment methods often fall short of reaching patients when they’re most in need, Steadfast is relentlessly focused on making low-barrier, high quality care accessible to all.

We know that the journey to recovery is unique for every individual, and our patient-centered approach ensures we meet patients where they are, providing evidence-based therapies with unwavering support in a compassionate environment that fosters healing and growth. We are growing rapidly and building a dedicated team of professionals who are committed to fulfilling our mission – join us!

Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:30-5:00. No nights, weekends, or on-call. One protected hour built into every day.

You’ll join a team that includes a Clinic Manager, Medical Assistant, Peer Recovery Specialist, Advanced Practice Provider, and Case Manager.

Compensation: $70,000-$80,000 W2 annual salary, based on experience and licensure with a 5% monthly performance bonus structure. This is a true salary: your pay is the same every pay period regardless of patient no-shows, cancellations, and a growing caseload never affects your paycheck.

Location: 11201 Shaker Blvd, Cleveland OH
