This role offers a unique chance to make a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable youth, guiding them towards brighter futures.
Primary Accountabilities
You'll be at the forefront of our comprehensive care approach, where every day brings new opportunities to make a difference.
From conducting clinical interventions to leading group therapy sessions, you'll be instrumental in guiding our youth toward brighter journeys. But that's just the beginning

We're seeking a candidate who:
excels in both interpersonal connections and autonomous work, seamlessly transitioning between independent tasks and collaborative efforts within our Interdisciplinary Team.
can navigate routine matters and crises alike with decisive action and sound judgment.
has a solid understanding of human behavior, coupled with considerable insight into youth motivation for change.
Experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and/or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy will be highly valued assets, which will enrich your therapeutic offerings.
Familiarity with long-term treatment programs, proficiency in providing clinical supervision, and experience developing and implementing youth programs will set you apart as an ideal candidate for this role.
