• Unrestricted LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, PhD, or equivalent license to work independently without supervision and without current, past, or pending disciplinary action
• Experience and commitment to providing evidence‑based treatments (e.g., ACT, CBT, CPT, DBT) and clinical best practices (e.g., measurement‑based care, promoting skill practice)
• Ability to provide care to children, adults, couples, and/or families in Middletown, DE
• Experience managing risk and responding to clinical crises as needed
• Full‑time resident of the United States
