About The Position

KBR is recruiting multiple Licensed Mental Health Counselors to support Special Operations Forces personnel and their families through the Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) program. Counselors work on-site within a unit as Behavioral Health Counselors. The posting lists Hurlburt/Duke Field, Florida, and Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, as locations, while the advertised title also references AFSOC GSU/Southern Pines, North Carolina. The role provides behavioral health services to active-duty Special Operations personnel, retired military members, their families, and others authorized by Department of Defense policy. Services include screenings, clinical counseling, case management, prevention programming, behavioral assessments, and evidence-based evaluation and treatment of psychological and neuropsychological disorders. Counselors also develop programs that foster healthy family relationships and unit connectedness, and maintain effective working relationships with the unit, POTFF program, and other DoD and external agencies. Candidates must be independently licensed as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) or Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), meet applicable credentialing and privileging standards, and be able to obtain and maintain a Secret or Top Secret clearance. Current Basic Cardiac Life Support (BCLS) certification is required for credentialing at servicing medical treatment facilities. KBR offers benefits that may include a 401(k) plan with company match, medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D insurance, flexible spending account, disability benefits, paid time off, or a flexible work schedule. Professional training and development are offered to support career advancement.
