About Mindful Therapy Group

Mindful Therapy Group is a leading behavioral health platform that partners with independent mental health and wellness providers by offering them the infrastructure, administrative support, and community they need to thrive in private practice. With a rapidly growing presence across five states, MTG is on a mission to expand access to high-quality, client-centered care while honoring clinician autonomy and independence.

We are a clinician-first organization that believes mental health care delivery can be transformed through smarter systems, stronger support, and sustainable innovation.

Position Overview

We are seeking a Director of Clinical Strategy & Provider Success to lead the development of scalable, clinically sound, and autonomy-respecting systems to support our network of independent providers. This role will shape the delivery of non-mandatory clinical programming, build internal tools for provider success, and work cross-functionally to align behavioral health strategy with MTG's operational and payer goals.

• Lead cross-functional clinical projects related to quality improvement, compliance, provider onboarding, and outcomes tracking.

• Partner with internal teams (e.g., Provider Services, Intake, Marketing, QA) to ensure clinical strategy is embedded in operational and growth plans.

• Drive adoption of measurement-based care tools and foster a culture of outcomes-driven clinical excellence.

• Monitor clinical trends, regulatory changes, and emerging best practices to keep MTG's resources current and relevant.

• Contribute to MTG's payer strategy by applying clinical knowledge to support value-based care (VBC) initiatives, including outcomes definition, metric alignment, and provider readiness.
