About The Position

This is a unique and rewarding clinical role that blends Early Childhood Mental Health consultation with direct clinical intervention.

Together, we focus on creating positive, lasting outcomes for infants and young children by building emotionally healthy environments where they can grow, connect, and thrive. This position includes eligibility for a monthly performance bonus.
