What if you could have the autonomy of private practice without having to build the business behind it—while still being part of a collaborative team of exceptional clinicians? KBMHS is a multidisciplinary behavioral health practice in Knoxville, Tennessee, designed for clinicians who want independence, flexibility, clinical autonomy, and a strong referral infrastructure without carrying the administrative burden of running a practice alone. We believe clinicians do their best work when they have both autonomy and connection . Our goal is to bring together highly skilled, compassionate, and motivated professionals who take pride in their work and genuinely enjoy working alongside other clinicians. Although our providers practice independently, we intentionally cultivate a warm, collaborative, and supportive team environment where people know one another, share knowledge, consult when needed, and celebrate each other's successes. You choose your schedule, caseload, specialties, service delivery model, and clinical approach. KBMHS handles the business infrastructure. You focus on your clients. And together, we create a practice where clinicians can do meaningful work and enjoy the people they work alongside. This is a 1099 independent contractor opportunity — not a W-2 position.

If you enjoy working in a team environment and don't enjoy practicing in isolation, you may find KBMHS to be a particularly good fit. Our clinicians are independent contractors, but we don't want an independent practice to feel like a collection of people working in separate silos. We are intentional about cultivating a practice culture where clinicians can know one another, collaborate, learn from one another, and enjoy working together. We value people who are generous with their knowledge, supportive of their colleagues, and genuinely interested in being part of a multidisciplinary community.

That diversity makes our clinical community stronger and creates opportunities for meaningful collaboration and appropriate cross-disciplinary referrals.
