  • Greywood Health Center
  • Chicago, IL

Job Description

Overview

At Greywood, we’re committed to one mission: delivering care that changes lives – and transforming the PHP/IOP field itself – for the better.

We are building a new standard for intensive therapy – rooted in relational depth, psychodynamic insight, and emotional presence. Our founder has laid the foundation, and now we’re looking for a partner who can help bring that vision to life each day, in every interaction, and in every moment of care.

Responsibilities

We’re looking for an Executive Clinical Director who:

  • Is mission-driven and passionate about higher-acuity care
  • Began as a clinician and still values the craft of therapy
  • Has a relational, emotions-focused, trauma-informed or psychodynamic orientation (rather than a predominantly cognitive or behavioral one)
  • Transitioned into operations and leadership, discovering a love for systems and accountability
  • Is process-driven and skilled at embedding systems into daily operations
  • Will periodically still join or lead sessions as a way of staying grounded in the work and connected to the clinical team
  • Is decisive, accountable, and comfortable holding others to high standards
  • Balances compassion with firmness; respected by staff, but unafraid to say, “this is what needs to be done”
  • Is comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
  • Can take a founder’s ideas – established as well as evolving ones – and turn them into daily reality, building systems that scale

This is not just a management role. It’s about creating a systems-centered culture where team members know what’s expected, feel supported, and are held accountable—with kindness and consistency.

What You'll Do

  • Lead the daily clinical and operational functions of Greywood’s PHP/IOP programs
  • Collaborate in the supervision and mentoring of therapists with a firm, relational approach
  • Evaluate clinical and administrative staff including developing/refining performance metrics
  • Support individualized treatment planning in alignment with program design
  • Stay connected to the therapy itself by facilitating occasional groups
  • Ensure coordination of admissions, utilization review, discharge planning, finance, and marketing to optimize workflows and support census growth
  • Lead clinical quality assurance and compliance initiatives, including audits, documentation review, regulatory and payer requirement maintenance, and continuous improvement processes
  • Embed systems into workflows, rejecting ad hoc chaos in favor of clarity and structure
  • Collaborate with the founder to align clinical operations with organizational strategy, ensuring both quality outcomes and financial sustainability
  • Represent Greywood as a clinical and operational leader in the community

What You Bring

  • An Illinois license (LCSW, LCPC, PsyD, or PhD in Clinical Psychology)
  • 7+ years post-licensure clinical experience, ideally including work in higher-acuity levels of care (IOP, PHP, residential, or hospital-based programs)
  • At least 3–5 years of leadership/management experience within a behavioral health organization
  • Demonstrated ability to oversee multidisciplinary teams (therapists, case managers, group facilitators, etc.)
  • Familiarity with regulatory and compliance standards specific to PHP/IOP settings (documentation, utilization review, payer requirements)

The ideal candidate will embody Greywood’s values —

Innovation: We are continuously advancing, improving, and challenging the status quo

Data: We are committed to rigorous frameworks and scientific methodologies in program design and assessment

Integrity: We uphold the highest standards of honesty, ethics, and transparency

Empathy: We create a culture of balance, warmth and belonging, where everyone is treated with kindness, compassion, and respect

Collaboration: We work together with our internal and external stakeholders to achieve the best possible results for our clients and their families

Excellence: We are passionate about our work and strive to be exemplary thought leaders in our field

Why Join Us?

  • Work in a collaborative, supportive environment dedicated to adolescent and young adult mental health
  • Make a direct impact by bridging mental health treatment and education
  • Competitive salary, benefits package, and opportunities for professional growth

Benefits

  • Highly competitive salary starting at $120K
  • Health insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Vision insurance
  • Life insurance
  • AD&D
  • Paid time off, sick & mental health days, holidays
  • 401(k) with company matching
  • Performance-based raise structure
