About The Position

We are seeking licensed or associate-level Mental Health Therapists to join an outpatient team serving children, adolescents, and families, particularly neurodivergent clients. The role provides outpatient therapy at one or more clinic locations based on program needs. Clinicians collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver individualized, evidence-based care. Both independently licensed clinicians and pre-licensed associates working toward licensure under approved clinical supervision are welcome. Clinicians may be assigned across clinic locations based on caseload availability and service demand, potentially requiring split-site scheduling.

This is a part-time, pay-per-client position intended to grow with program demand. It offers a flexible schedule and the possibility of increased hours and transition to a full-time salaried position with benefits as caseloads and clinic needs expand. Afternoon and after-school availability is preferred.

The role includes conducting biopsychosocial and DSM-5-TR diagnostic assessments, including differential diagnosis; working with children, adolescents, neurodivergent clients, and their parents or caregivers; developing strengths-based individual and family treatment plans with SMART goals and measurable outcomes; and writing timely progress notes that document the assessment, diagnosis, goals, interventions, client response, and ongoing medical necessity through the Golden Thread. Clinicians also provide and document case management and interdisciplinary care coordination and complete discharge or termination summaries with clinical rationale and recommendations for continued care.
