About The Position

Fuller Hospital is a 109-bed licensed, private psychiatric facility located in South Attleboro, Massachusetts providing inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services to residents of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Inpatient units are designed to treat adults with general psychiatric or intellectual disabilities, as well as adolescents with general psychiatric issues. Patients with co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders can be treated on most units. Fuller Hospital also provides a less intensive Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) to patients with psychiatric and co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders. The In-Home Therapy Program is a service that provides youth with intensive therapy and family sessions in the home, guided by a master's-level clinician (IHT) and a bachelor's-level support staff (TT&S). Our goal within IHT is to meet with the family (often multiple times per week), in order to improve family dynamics, healthy functioning within the home/community, and to ultimately prevent them from stepping up to a higher level of care. We work intensively with the family until they are stabilized and able to transition to a lower level of care (i.e., outpatient therapy). As an In-Home Therapist (IHT), you will be facilitating intensive in-home family therapy sessions with youth under the age of 21 and their families with the goal of improving the family’s ability to provide effective support for the youth to promote his/her healthy functioning within the family. This will include implementation of various therapeutic interventions, parent coaching, crisis intervention, psycho-ed., etc. You will also have a bachelor’s level para-professional, a Therapeutic Training & Support Staff (TT&S) assigned to your cases. The TT&S will assist you with co-facilitating sessions, treatment planning, and case management. They will work with the client and/or family to practice the skills that you teach in family sessions. Client Diagnoses: We see a variety of diagnoses and presenting problems; such as trauma, behavioral problems, depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, ODD, etc. This provides a great deal of experience for the clinician. Areas of Service: We service the Southeast Region of MA. The bulk of our referrals come from towns such as Attleboro, Taunton, Mansfield, Foxboro and surrounding areas. We also take cases in New Bedford/Fall River area for clinicians who live in that area. We try to keep you centralized in a specific area to avoid extensive travel. We also try to obtain referrals in your desired areas when possible. Telehealth: While navigating the current state of the pandemic, we are offering both telehealth and in-person, socially distant sessions with masks. This decision will be made between the family and the clinician. In many cases, families prefer a hybrid, where clinicians may see clients both in-person and through telehealth.
