About The Position

Canyon Ridge Hospital is currently seeking a compassionate and talented EMDR Therapist to join our team on a Contract Basis. At Canyon Ridge Hospital we understand that not all wounds are visible. Depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, addiction, and suicide affects millions of individuals and families. Our mission is to be a leader in behavioral healthcare, dedicated to excellent service in the community. Canyon Ridge Hospital has serviced the Greater Inland Empire since 1989. Canyon Ridge is a 157-bed acute, locked psychiatric facility offering services to adolescents ages 13-17, adults and older adults. We believe in an individualized, patient-focused approach to diagnosis and treatment.

In these cases of dual diagnosis, we treat the patients in the best way possible given their specific needs.
