Resilient Kids Child & Family Therapy is seeking a full-time Clinical Supervisor and Equine-Assisted Psychotherapist to join their team. This W2 position is for a licensed LPCMH, LCSW, LMFT, or PhD who is eligible to provide clinical supervision and has practical experience with horses.

The organization was founded on the belief that supported therapists provide better care, aiming to prevent burnout and prioritize creativity and meaningful connection.
