Job description

Take Your Clinical Work Beyond the Office

LCFS is seeking a licensed Home Based Therapist (LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT) to provide therapy to children and families in their homes, schools, and communities.

This is an opportunity to do meaningful clinical work while building strong relationships with the families you serve. You'll have the independence of working in the community along with the support of a collaborative clinical team.

Primary service areas include the east side of Marion County and Hamilton, Hancock, and Shelby counties.

What You'll Do

As a Home Based Therapist, you will:

• Provide individual and family therapy in homes, schools, and community settings using trauma-informed, person-centered, strengths-based, and culturally responsive practices
• Complete bio-psychosocial assessments and develop individualized treatment plans
• Help children and families strengthen relationships, develop skills, and work toward greater stability
• Assess and respond appropriately to crisis situations and suicide-risk concerns, following established clinical and safety protocols
• Connect families with community resources and supportive services
• Collaborate with referral sources, treatment teams, and community professionals
• Participate in clinical supervision, case reviews, team consultation, and required training
• Maintain appropriate professional boundaries, confidentiality, and client privacy
• Support discharge planning and continuity of care
• Complete timely and accurate clinical documentation
• Maintain services and documentation in accordance with applicable licensing, contractual, accreditation, and LCFS requirements

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Master's degree in a mental health-related field
• Current Indiana license as an LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT
• Minimum of 2 years of mental health treatment experience
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
• Ability and willingness to provide services in community-based settings

We're looking for a therapist who is compassionate, dependable, comfortable working independently, and committed to helping children and families build on their strengths.

Why You'll Want to Work at LCFS

$3,000 Sign-On Bonus

You'll also receive:

• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Retirement benefits
• Mileage reimbursement for travel to client locations
• Manageable caseload expectations
• Support from clinical leadership
• Collaborative team environment
• Meaningful work with children and families

Why Home-Based Therapy?

Some of the most meaningful clinical work happens outside the therapy office.

Working with families in their own environments gives you the opportunity to better understand their strengths, challenges, relationships, and available supports—and help them apply new skills where everyday life happens.

At LCFS, you can work independently in the community without working alone. You'll be part of a team committed to supporting both our clients and one another.
