About the job
Help Young Adults Find Their Way. Build Confidence. Create Lasting Change.
Are you a licensed mental health therapist passionate about helping young adults navigate life's challenges, build independence, and create a future they're excited about?
The transition into adulthood can be exciting, overwhelming, and full of uncertainty. For young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationships, or other mental health challenges, having the right support can make all the difference.
At BasePoint, we believe every young adult deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and move forward with confidence. We're looking for a compassionate, clinically driven Primary Therapist to join our Frisco team and help young adults develop the tools, resilience, and self-awareness they need to thrive.
This is more than providing therapy. It's about helping young adults discover their strengths, navigate challenges, develop healthier relationships, and take meaningful steps toward independence.
If you're passionate about young adult mental health, enjoy building authentic therapeutic relationships, and want to be part of a collaborative clinical team, we'd love to meet you.
Meaningful Clinical Work. Real-Life Impact.
As a Primary Therapist, you'll provide comprehensive behavioral health treatment to young adults in our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
You'll work with patients throughout their treatment journey, from admission through discharge, providing individualized care that supports emotional well-being, personal growth, and long-term recovery.
Here's how you'll make a difference
- Build meaningful therapeutic relationships. Provide individual therapy to young adults navigating mental health challenges, life transitions, emotional difficulties, and relationship concerns.
- Lead engaging group therapy. Facilitate process-oriented and curriculum-based group sessions that encourage connection, self-awareness, emotional regulation, healthy coping strategies, and personal growth.
- Support healthier relationships. Engage families and other appropriate support systems in the treatment process, helping patients strengthen communication, establish healthy boundaries, and build supportive connections.
- Guide the treatment journey. Develop individualized treatment plans, monitor clinical progress, and coordinate discharge and aftercare planning to support continued growth beyond treatment.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team. Partner with psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and other behavioral health professionals to provide coordinated, patient-centered care.
- Use your clinical judgment to make a difference. Apply assessment, crisis intervention, safety planning, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to support patients through challenging moments.
- Help young adults move forward with confidence. Support patients in developing the skills, resilience, and emotional awareness needed to navigate adulthood and achieve meaningful personal goals.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for a therapist who combines strong clinical skills with compassion, authenticity, and a genuine passion for helping young adults succeed.
Required Qualifications
- Master's degree in Counseling, Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, or a related behavioral health field.
- Current Texas clinical license in one of the following categories:
o Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
o Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-Associate)
o Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
o Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
o Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)
- Ability to successfully complete required CPR and Crisis Prevention Training before patient contact.
- Ability to meet applicable background screening requirements.
We'd Love It If You Also Have
- At least one year of post-licensure clinical experience.
- Experience working with young adults or emerging adult populations.
- Experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, relationship difficulties, or life transitions.
- Experience in a PHP, IOP, residential treatment, inpatient psychiatric, or other behavioral health setting.
- Experience facilitating group therapy.
- Strong clinical assessment, treatment planning, crisis intervention, and documentation skills.
Don't have PHP or IOP experience? If you're passionate about young adult mental health and meet our required qualifications, we encourage you to apply.

More Than Therapy. Help Shape What's Next. Some of the most meaningful moments in mental healthcare happen when a young adult begins to see new possibilities for their future.
It's the patient who finds the confidence to set healthy boundaries. The young adult who learns to manage overwhelming emotions. The person who begins to believe that their mental health challenges don't have to define their future.
Those moments matter. And so does the therapist who helps make them possible.
At BasePoint, we approach every patient and family with one guiding question:
"What Would I Want for My Family?"
That philosophy shapes how we deliver care, build relationships, and support one another.
If you're ready to use your clinical expertise to help young adults build healthier, more fulfilling lives, we'd love to meet you.
Apply today and help us create more breakthroughs, one young adult at a time!
