About The Position

AllHealth Network is seeking a licensed Forensic Therapist to join its FACT team. The role provides individual therapy in person and/or via telehealth to improve clients’ mental health outcomes and daily functioning, address criminogenic risks and needs, divert people who need treatment from the criminal justice system, mitigate the risk of re-arrest, incarceration, and hospitalization, and increase public safety. Treatment plans incorporate evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapies shown to reduce recidivism. The therapist serves clients who may have serious and persistent mental illness, current or prior arrests and incarcerations, and high-risk behaviors.

The Forensic Therapist provides therapeutic interventions and documentation that meet regulatory and contractual requirements; participates in a team-based model to integrate services and coordinate care; and may perform case management duties or work with a case manager. The role includes completing assessments, using measurement-based care, helping clients identify goals and coordinate services, applying professional judgment to address barriers, and providing clinical and coaching services that reflect clients’ readiness to change and engagement. The therapist makes referrals to community resources, builds positive relationships with internal and external partners, and attends specialty court interdisciplinary meetings to share progress, gather treatment-relevant information, and coordinate care.
