Human Resources & Hiring Support

Hiring with heart. Scaling without burnout.

You didn’t go to grad school to become an HR department. But when you’re running a growing practice, hiring well—and building a culture that retains great clinicians—can feel like a full-time job. Clinician Collaborative aligns with top clinicians looking to grow by providing support services that help you lead your teams and reach your goals. As the Clinical Leadership Organization, we offer a clinician-led management culture that creates opportunities for behavioral health professionals to grow. We understand the importance of attracting and retaining the right people, and our engine is our people. Every behavioral health practice in the Clinician Collaborative footprint is an exciting place to work, and we aspire to provide great experiences not just for patients but for the team who cares for them.

That’s where we come in.

The Clinician Collaborative offers clinician-led HR and recruitment services designed for behavioral health practices, not corporate conglomerates. Whether you’re hiring your first therapist or expanding across multiple states, we help you grow with integrity, transparency, and mission-aligned support. We are committed to practice owners’ needs by offering administrative support in human resources so you can focus on your patients.

We help build those human relationships that improve performance and create leaders. From payroll to benefits to diversity and team engagement programs, we work with the practice to create enjoyable working environments with great employee experiences.

Join Clinician Collaborative and benefit from a team ready to help you make the right staffing decisions, retain the best talent, and create opportunities for career growth. Imagine the efficiency of having your own in house HR without being your HR.

Retaining Talented Staff

Doctors know their clinical culture relies on retaining top dental talent and creating attractive growth opportunities. Our doctor-led management culture prioritizes your local brand and staff relationships.

The Lightwave mission is to align with top doctors to help you lead your teams and reach your goals with the industry’s top support, without the drawbacks of corporate dentistry. We tailor HR support to fit your needs, prioritizing leadership opportunities for associates and existing staff who help manage clinical care and patient relationships. We understand that your dental practice is only as successful as the leaders you grow.

Recruitment That Reflects Your Values

We don’t just find warm bodies—we match you with clinicians who share your standards of care, clinical approach, and cultural fit. Our network is full of mission-driven providers who want to build something real—not churn through clients in a call center model.

Hiring Infrastructure, Done Right

From job descriptions and compensation models to offer letters and onboarding workflows, we give you everything you need to recruit like a pro—without compromising your authenticity.

Compliance, Coaching & Conflict Navigation

We provide HR consulting that keeps you compliant and confident. Need help with performance reviews, clinician feedback, or letting someone go without guilt? We’ve got your back—with scripts, systems, and trauma-informed professionalism.

Built by Clinicians. For Clinicians.

Our HR philosophy is simple: respect autonomy, prioritize care, and build workplaces that clinicians don’t need to recover from. We don’t believe in over-policing or top-down control. We believe in trust, clarity, and alignment.
