About The Position

People Encouraging People is an organization driven by our core values.

Our clients face various challenges, from schizophrenia to drug addiction to homelessness. They represent the full diversity of our community. What they have in common is they are treated with respect and decency and shown that through hard work and encouragement, they can improve the quality of their lives and the quality of our community. Newly Licensed Candidates and License-Eligible Candidates are Encouraged to Apply! Make a Real Impact—Beyond the Therapy Office. Are you a therapist who wants to do more than sit in an office all day? Join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team and help individuals with serious mental illness live independently, stay out of the hospital, and build meaningful lives in their communities. This is not traditional outpatient therapy. ACT is hands-on, team-based, and deeply impactful work—where every day is different, and your support meets clients where they are.
