Clinical Practice Opportunities
Shepherd’s

a limit as to what they might do. Current center support services include
billing and accounts, weekly multidisciplinary team meetings, continuing
education, consultation, payroll, website, retirement benefit options,
etc.

established clinicians, and ongoing advertising (more referrals currently
than current clinicians are able to service).

procedures, tools, and ongoing education and monitoring to ensure
conformity to federal privacy and security laws.

We
are an evangelical Christian para church organization. We exist to introduce
Christ's restoration to brokenness, be it emotional, psychological,
or relational, through a team of Christian professionals. We recognize
many believers are beset by difficulties that would prevent them from
functioning as members of the Body of Christ with unique contributions
to make. In addition we recognize many seekers and others desire services
that are respectful of and sensitive to spiritual issues. We are aware
that quality mental health services, rooted in biblical principles and
Christian values, are at a premium. We seek to partner with pastors
and church leaders to provide trustworthy resources to meet the needs
of their flock and to advance God’s kingdom. We
recognize we have the infrastructure in place to provide more services
than we are currently providing and we are seeking the assistance of
others to reach our potential. We are waiting on God for persons to
fill many important roles. Could one of them be you?
