About The Position

Counselor 3 provides high-quality consultation to ecclesiastical leaders, direct counseling services, community resource development and referrals, and support to other staff.

The role focuses primarily on therapy, with little to no case management, and may include administering support programs such as Addiction Recovery. Regular interactions and consultations may include Bishops, Stake Presidents, Mission Presidents, and General Authorities. The position may require clinical supervision of team members pursuing licensure and may involve state licensure in multiple states, depending on the service area; international licensure requirements vary by country.

Time allocated to responsibilities varies by location. Most time is devoted to exceptional direct clinical care, including skills and treatment groups, with professionalism and attention to quality and timely notes, consultations, and terminations. The counselor contributes to a supportive office team, participates in agency council meetings, learns from colleagues, and responds promptly to agency, region, and headquarters needs. The role also builds relationships and collaborates with ecclesiastical leaders and community resources to develop and fulfill a whole service plan, while pursuing professional development through current modalities aligned with organizational values.
