The Behavior Consultant at Merakey plays a crucial role in the treatment team, focusing on designing and directing the implementation of individualized behavior modification intervention plans tailored to the unique needs of each child or adolescent and their family. This position requires collaboration with other team members, including Mobile Therapists, to ensure that behavioral goals are effectively identified and intervention techniques are appropriately recommended. The Behavior Consultant emphasizes non-aversion behavioral change methods, ensuring that the interventions are both effective and compassionate. In this role, the Behavior Consultant primarily engages in assessment, program design, and monitoring rather than direct therapy. While maintaining some direct contact with the child and family, the consultant's main responsibilities revolve around the strategic planning and evaluation of behavioral interventions. Participation in team meetings is essential, as it allows for the sharing of insights and strategies among team members. Additionally, the Behavior Consultant may be called upon to provide expertise in special child-centered, family-focused meetings, particularly when behavioral paradigms are in question in other systems, such as schools. This collaborative approach ensures that the child receives comprehensive support across various environments. Merakey is dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment, and the Behavior Consultant is expected to embody these values while working with children and families. The position offers a competitive hourly wage and emphasizes work-life balance, making it an attractive opportunity for professionals in the field.
