Mental Health Counselor FT- 3-11 Shift

Why TaraVista Behavioral Health Center?

At TaraVista, we haven’t forgotten the reason behind why we went into healthcare.  Like you, we have a calling to help people - to make a real and meaningful difference in their lives.  Also like you, we’re frustrated that ‘business’ and ‘process’ seem to come at the expense of our patients, and compromise our ability to work effectively as teams.  

We believe that behavioral healthcare doesn’t have to be an ‘either/or’ choice between proper business and proper treatment - we believe we can truly do well by doing good.  

Join our TV team where values like collaboration, compassion, engagement, and respect are the very real foundations of our culture – not just ideals in a job post.  Reconnect with the reasons you chose to work in healthcare and shift from simply having a career, to really living your calling.

About  TaraVista

TaraVista Behavioral Health Center, a new innovative 108 bed inpatient hospital, was conceived from this simple question: “What if we could create an inpatient Behavioral Health Center from scratch?”

TaraVista’s mission is to provide compassionate, effective, sustainable care for those suffering from psychiatric distress and co-occurring substance abuse.  To accomplish this, we have to reimagine how care is delivered - and we are actively seeking team members to help us realize this vision.

The TaraVista approach empowers you to shift from simply having a job in your chosen career field, to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

We seek innovative, energetic people who work well in teams and who are driven to help patients and families in a time of need. We offer comprehensive benefits including a gainsharing plan and a variety of work schedules.

We aren't for everyone.  Our team members:

• Champion the patients
• Work as part of a collaborative, empowered team in a non-judgmental environment
• Have a voice that is welcomed, encouraged, and respected
• Do what needs to be done to support each other
