About The Position

Leidos is hiring licensed behavioral health professionals to support Guam as part of its Adult Military and Family Life Counseling (MFLC) team. The counselor provides preventive, non-medical counseling, consultation, and outreach to military service members, family members, and eligible staff as they navigate military-life adjustments. The role uses solution-focused approaches to address concerns before they become greater challenges and requires availability to start by February 2, 2027.

Counselors provide face-to-face support to individuals, couples, and families; engage with service members and families through activities and community events; and offer presentations at military-connected events.

Approximately 60% of duties are performed indoors and 40% outdoors. Outdoor work may involve long distances, uneven grassy, gravel, or dirt surfaces, stairs, and exposure to weather. Site-specific requirements may apply at military installations and related worksites.
