Overview: Given its rapid growth and success, Nystrom & Associates (Nystrom) is looking for an experienced clinical leader to join their dynamic and dedicated senior leadership team to become the “Clinical Voice” of the organization in the Chief Clinical Officer role.

 

Nystrom is one of the largest providers of outpatient mental health services in the country, bringing together professionals from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, clinical social work, marriage and family therapy, substance use and addiction and nursing to provide comprehensive mental health treatment to those in need. The company provides outpatient services conveniently to patients in its clinics, in-home through its extensive community-based provider base, and via telehealth. Founded in 1991 in Minnesota, Nystrom now operates over 46 outpatient mental health clinics across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa and continues to grow at a rapid pace. Nystrom serves nearly 90,000 patients and performs over 900,000 patient encounters annually, with services provided by its 1,500 employees (including approximately 1,000 clinical staff).
