The owners of Central Iowa Institute (CIFI) started their practice after years of serving the community through community mental health, and found that the restrictions and intense requirements made it difficult to do their best work. They set out to create a group practice where clinicians get to create the career they want. We want to hear what your ideal caseload looks like and fill you with the clients you enjoy. The research is clear, when therapists are happy, they provide more effective care.
We are seeking experienced and talented Child Therapists to join our new and growing group practice and work with children, teens, and their families. We will consider licensed and temporary licensed Mental Health Counselors, Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Psychologists who are licensed in Iowa.
