As part of this innovative model of Mental Health care, we collaborate closely with other service partners in ensuring coordinated, integrated care for clients and their families. While we are set up to serve the entire community, we are known nationally for our culturally-specific Mental Health services. Join a team who brings their diverse identities, cultures, lived experiences and skills to provide Mental Health and wellness services that are trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and impactful for the whole family.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Provide individual and family Mental Health treatment in school, home and virtual settings
- Influence the treatment goals and methods of the therapeutic classroom through weekly consultation
WHAT YOU BRING TO THE ROLE:
- Mental Health Professional (LICSW, LMFT or LPCC) license preferred, but Master's Level Practitioners working towards licensure are encouraged to apply
- A strong understanding of attachment theory, child development and trauma treatment is most useful. Day treatment or milieu experience with young children is also helpful.
