Job description

Counseling Services of Southern Minnesota (CSSM) was established in 1997 with a primary focus to serve children and families. Since that time the agency has added services for adults, couples, and psychological testing. The agency, with support of grants from the Department of Human Services, has added programming to serve infants and young children and provide services to children within area schools.

CSSM has two clinic locations and has providers in eight area school districts. In addition, we partner with local county human services agencies. CSSM strives to make a meaningful difference to the communities we serve by providing comprehensive care to our clients. We focus on having well-trained staff and routine consultations with other providers working with our clients to ensure the highest quality of care.

It is our goal to ensure we provide exceptional training opportunities and maintain an experience for our staff that allows for a work/life balance. We offer our staff some flexibility in scheduling, profit sharing and a competitive benefits package. We have access to DHS sponsored grants to pay staff while they attend training to acquire certification in the following therapies: ABC, TF-CBT, PCIT, CPP, MAP, and IEC-MH. These certifications are significant, and we believe we are providing our staff with excellent opportunities while enhancing the quality of the services we deliver to our clients.

Psychology Department

CSSM offers comprehensive psychological assessment for children, adolescents, and adults, and every evaluation includes screening for a variety of concerns based on the referral question(s). This can include ADHD, Autism, intellectual disability, learning disabilities, mood disorders, personality functioning, etc. Our psychologists are affirming and respectful and treat their patients as partners in the evaluation process and as experts of their own experiences. CSSM also offers parental capacity evaluations to identify parental caregiving skills and challenges in relation to their child(ren)’s functioning and needs. CSSM currently has a child-focused licensed psychologist and an adolescent/adult-focused licensed psychologist. The Psychology Department maintains a strong referral base and is valued by community partners.
