About The Position

The Therapist Case Manager provides clinical support to participants at Carmelita House and its permanent supportive housing program (PSH). Carmelita is designed for people who can access supportive community resources and somatic and experiential activities that build resilience, confidence, emotional regulation, and meaningful connection. The multidisciplinary team includes clinical, vocational, substance-use-disorder, and recreational professionals and works to foster independence, life skills, community engagement, healing, and long-term self-sufficiency. Participants continue to receive support from Marin County case managers to maintain a wraparound continuum of care. The program aims to prevent retraumatization and support continuity of trauma healing after participants leave the house. Graduation from Carmelita House is contingent on stable housing and ongoing support; continued therapy with the trauma clinician may be available during the transition. The role provides trauma-focused, healing-centered therapy, group interventions, and psychoeducation for participants with significant trauma histories who have experienced cycles of incarceration and homelessness. The position also coordinates care and links participants to community resources, providers, hospitals, and criminal justice partners. The practitioner collaborates with the community-based organization managing participants’ nonclinical needs and with the Program Manager, including supporting alternative healing modalities such as yoga, meditation, and music therapy through outside partners when appropriate. The role may participate in applicant interviews. The practitioner maintains current electronic medical records, completes service notes within 72 hours, meets monthly productivity standards of 80%, and submits accurate, timely documentation and data for Performance and Quality Improvement reporting and case record reviews. The candidate will be trained in two systems of care: Marin County BHRS and Catholic Charities. Carmelita, PSH is scheduled to open in December 2026.
