ABOUT HCO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

HCO Behavioral Health is a growing multi-location behavioral health practice serving Louisiana and Texas. We provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health services to individuals, families, and children — with a growing focus on faith-integrated care. Our mission is to remove barriers to healing, honoring the whole person: spirit, mind, and body.

We are expanding our team of licensed Christian counselors to meet the strong and growing demand for faith-informed therapy across our service areas.

THE ROLE

As a Licensed Christian Counselor at HCO, you will provide individual and family therapy to clients who want their faith honored in the therapeutic process. You are not a pastoral counselor — you are a fully licensed clinician who integrates faith-based approaches alongside evidence-based methods.

This is a purpose-driven role for a therapist who wants to build a meaningful caseload, be well-supported, and grow within a faith-affirming practice.
