Trilogy Careers • Chicago, IL

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Child and Adolescent Therapist provides individual, family, and group psychotherapy to individuals ages 6–25 and their families. Services are strengths-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed, supporting clients with mental health diagnoses and co-occurring substance abuse disorders. The therapist provides services in person at Trilogy’s clinic in Chicago’s South Edgebrook neighborhood and via telehealth. The position is hybrid eligible depending on weekly scheduling, team, and caseload needs.

The role is offered at 40 hours per week or may be eligible for 32 hours per week. Compensation is $22–$40 per hour and is discussed in detail during the first interview. Trilogy invests in clinicians through advanced clinical training, such as EMDR, DBT, and TF-CBT. The organization offers flexibility similar to an outpatient group therapy practice alongside the structure of a community mental health agency. Therapists are paid for non-direct service activities, and new clinicians receive an additional stipend while building their caseload. Trilogy has approved sites for the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program and is an approved employer for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
