Job description

Some careers are just jobs. This one is different. At Pinnacle Family Services, the work you do every day has a real and lasting impact on children and families who need it most.

For over 30 years, we've provided evidence-based therapeutic foster care and behavioral health services to at-risk youth across North Carolina and South Carolina — specializing in serving children who have experienced trauma, loss, abuse, or neglect. Our approach is trauma-informed and relationship-focused, because we know that healing happens through connection.

When you join Pinnacle, you're not just joining an organization — you're joining a community of professionals who show up every day because they genuinely believe in this work.

Health Connect America Family of Brands

Health Connect America Family of Brands — that is part of Health Connect America, a COA-accredited family of behavioral health brands serving children, families, and adults across nine states. That means you'll have the close-knit culture and mission focus of a team that's been doing this work for decades, backed by the resources, clinical infrastructure, and organizational support to help you do it well. Every program across our network shares the same commitment — compassionate, client-centered care that meets people where they are and walks alongside them toward something better.

If you're a licensed clinician who believes meaningful change happens beyond the walls of an office, this role is designed for you.

As a Family Centered Treatment (FCT) Therapist at Health Connect America, you'll provide high-quality, evidence-based clinical services to children, adolescents, and families—delivered where it has the greatest impact in their homes and communities.

What You'll Do

• Deliver Family Centered Treatment services in home and community-based settings, ensuring care is accessible and relevant to each family’s environment
• Guide families through the four phases of the FCT model, facilitating progress through structured interventions and fidelity-driven practices
• Develop, implement, and maintain individualized Service Plans in collaboration with the Treatment Team, ensuring alignment with authorization and clinical requirements
• Coordinate and lead Treatment Team meetings, partnering with medical, behavioral health, school, and community providers to ensure integrated, whole-person care
• Provide psychoeducation and therapeutic interventions aligned with each family’s goals and clinical needs
• Support families in setting and achieving weekly goals, reinforcing skill-building and sustainable behavior change
• Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation and FCT fidelity records within the Electronic Health Record
• Oversee assessments, discharge planning, and aftercare coordination, connecting families to community resources that support long‑term success

What to Expect

This is a community-based clinical role requiring a flexible schedule to meet families when they are most available. The position includes 24/7 on‑call responsibility to support crisis needs across your caseload. While urgent situations are not the norm, your availability provides critical stability and continuity of care for the families you serve.

As a licensed clinician, you may also provide supervision and will be responsible for maintaining active credentials, meeting ongoing training requirements, and ensuring compliance with all regulatory and organizational standards. Your NPI will be utilized for billing services delivered under your supervision.

Your Path to FCT Certification

FCT Certification is required for this role and must be completed within one year of hire. Health Connect America provides structured support through required checkoffs, e-learning modules, and ongoing clinical guidance. This certification strengthens your clinical skillset and positions you as a specialist in delivering high‑impact, family‑centered care.
