About The Position
Leidos is seeking licensed behavioral health professionals to join their Adult Military and Family Life Counseling (MFLC) team. This role provides non-medical support, including counseling, consultation, and outreach, to service members, military family members, and eligible staff.

Counselors in this domain must be prepared for these unique challenges.
