Updated October 8, 2026 — this position remains open for applications.
Build your IOP therapy practice with a team that’s actually fun to work with — and a mission that matters.
SOS Wellness is a growing behavioral health practice with two locations in Southwest Ohio: Middletown, OH and Norwood, OH (Cincinnati area). We’re looking for IOP therapists (LCDC, LISW, LPCC) who want real clinical autonomy, a collaborative team, and a practice that takes patient experience as seriously as clinical excellence.
We work with kids, teens, and adults across the full diagnostic spectrum — mood, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, SUD, neurodevelopmental — and we’re building something that treats both patients and clinicians like humans.
Now hiring at both of our Ohio locations: Middletown and Norwood (Cincinnati area). Full-time and part-time positions available. Our current priority is in-person substance use IOP group work in Middletown; please indicate your preferred location and availability.
Why people like working here
- Mission you’d actually post about. We serve the people who need this care most — Medicaid, underserved, neurodiverse, in recovery. If “doing meaningful work” is on your non-negotiables list, you’ll fit here.
- Patient experience is non-negotiable. We care deeply about how patients are treated from the moment they call to the moment they leave. Effective, appropriate care delivered without unnecessary waiting — that’s the standard.
- A team that likes each other. Team lunches, active group chat, regular team meetings. Therapists, case managers, and admin who actually have your back — so the social and logistical pieces don’t land on your desk.
- Leadership that says yes to good ideas. Medical Director Dr. Irfan Dahar, MD brings 30+ years across community mental health and addiction medicine — and runs a practice where clinicians are trusted, not micromanaged.
- Trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming — and we mean it culturally, not just on paper. This shows up in how we practice, how we talk to each other, and how we build programs.
- Room to help build something new. We are developing our in-person and virtual IOP programs. If you want to help shape group programming and coordinated care, there is room to contribute.
What this isn’t
A 30-patient-a-day mill. A place where you’re a number. A practice still running on 2010 systems. If that’s what you’re escaping, come talk to us.
The modern-practice basics
- Valant EHR
- Telehealth flexibility when appropriate to the role and patient needs; the priority Middletown IOP opening requires in-person group work
- Credentialing, billing, and prior auths handled by a real admin team
- CARF-accredited, OhioMHAS-licensed, LegitScript-certified — the credibility is there, the bureaucracy isn’t on you
The role

- Collaborate with therapists, case managers, and the medical director on integrated treatment plans
- Practice at our Middletown, OH or Norwood, OH location, with current priority on in-person Middletown groups
- Full-time or part-time, 1099. Include your available days and hours; specific group times and expected weekly hours will be discussed with qualified candidates
