About The Position

Burrell Behavioral Health is seeking compassionate and dedicated individuals in Southwest Missouri to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends. This role involves working holistically with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model. MST therapists work in close collaboration with all involved to address the needs of youth ages 12-17 who engage in problematic and criminal behaviors, and in some cases, substance abuse. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as changing unhelpful family interactions, addressing the youth’s problems with peers and in school, and increasing social support. The position offers an all-inclusive employee benefits package, telemedicine services, an employee assistance program, and paid time off. The workplace culture cultivates employee wellbeing and values individual humanity. You will receive ongoing team support, training, and supervision in the MST model, including initial training, weekly expert consultation, and a supportive team environment that promotes work/life balance.
