Mental Health Counselor FT-Evening Shift

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
