Job description

Position Summary

The Licensed Mental Health Therapist and Licensure Supervisor provides individual therapy and licensure supervision at Trellis Counseling’s Harmony House location in Clackamas. We seek an experienced, independently licensed Oregon clinician, preferably an LCSW approved by the Oregon Board of Licensed Social Workers to supervise CSWAs. The clinician maintains a direct-care caseload and supports associates’ clinical development, ethical practice, and progress toward licensure. Trellis values Excellence, Care & Compassion, Reputation, Growth, and Enjoyment.

Licensure supervision is a core responsibility of this position. Supervisee assignments depend on verified qualifications, applicable board approvals, and practice needs. Opportunities for additional paid leadership responsibilities may develop based on demonstrated effectiveness, mutual interest, and practice needs. Future leadership titles, reporting relationships, and advancement are not guaranteed.

Responsibilities

• Provide individual therapy, clinical assessment, treatment planning, and appropriate referrals within professional competence and Trellis policies.
• Use trauma-informed, culturally responsive approaches and collaborate with clients on treatment goals.
• Maintain an active, unrestricted Oregon license and follow applicable professional ethics, confidentiality requirements, and practice policies.
• Complete accurate progress notes within 48 hours and meet the Friday 5 PM deadline for sessions through Thursday, consistent with current documentation policy. Maintain timely treatment plans, intake records, and closure documentation.
• Respond to client communications within practice response standards and coordinate care with authorized treatment team members as appropriate.
• Follow consultation and escalation procedures for clinical risk, ethical concerns, client complaints, and incidents.
• Maintain reliable attendance, communicate schedule changes promptly, and follow scheduling, cancellation, and continuity-of-care procedures.
• Attend required meetings, training, and consultation; communicate respectfully and respond constructively to feedback.

Responsibilities Continued

• Demonstrate sound judgment, reliable follow-through, appropriate professional boundaries, and consistent compliance with clinical and administrative expectations.
• Contribute constructive feedback about clinical workflows and support collaboration with clinical leaders and administrative staff.
• When formally assigned, provide peer consultation, support clinician onboarding, assist with clinical quality improvement, or contribute to training and policy development within approved authority and qualifications.
• Provide scheduled licensure supervision to assigned associates within verified qualifications and board-approved supervision plans. Maintain supervision records, review clinical work, evaluate development, complete required reports, and address ethical, risk, or competence concerns promptly with clinical leadership. Licensure supervision does not independently confer hiring, disciplinary, or policy-making authority.
• Perform other duties related to the position as assigned.

Qualifications

• Master’s or doctoral degree appropriate to an active, unrestricted Oregon license as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, psychologist, or other independently licensed mental health professional accepted by Trellis.
• Demonstrated experience treating adults affected by trauma and competence in assessment, treatment planning, and clinical risk management.
• Demonstrated experience providing clinical supervision, constructive feedback, and support for clinician development and accountability. Meet applicable Oregon requirements to provide licensure supervision, with required approvals in place before supervision begins.
• Strong documentation practices, organizational skills, and ability to use an electronic health record and Microsoft 365 tools.
• Ability to communicate clearly, receive and provide respectful feedback, address concerns directly, and work within a structured group practice.
• Alignment with Trellis Counseling’s mission and values and a commitment to ethical, culturally responsive care.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in an outpatient group practice serving Medicaid/OHP clients.
• Advanced training in trauma treatment, such as EMDR or IFS.
• Experience with clinical quality review, clinician onboarding, or performance feedback.
• Oregon LCSW with current BLSW approval to supervise CSWAs strongly preferred. Other independently licensed clinicians must be qualified and approved to supervise the specific associate disciplines assigned; licensure alone does not establish eligibility.

Expected Hours of Work

The role combines a revenue-producing therapy caseload with paid, protected supervision time. Trellis’s standard therapist baseline is 25 scheduled or admin-bookable appointment slots weekly, targeting an average of 20 completed sessions. This position’s clinical expectations will be established before hire based on assigned supervision hours, documentation, meetings, and total workload. Client attendance and a specific number of completed sessions are not guaranteed.

Supervision assignments, paid supervision time, and corresponding clinical expectations will be defined before duties begin and reviewed as assignments change. Additional leadership duties require an agreed scope, schedule, compensation, and authority. All documentation, supervision preparation, required meetings, training, and assigned work count as work time. Employees record all hours worked and follow timekeeping and overtime procedures.

Physical Demands

Work involves sustained client interaction, computer use, and periods of sitting. Reasonable accommodations may be available to support performance of essential job functions.

Equal Employment Opportunity

Trellis Counseling provides equal employment opportunities and prohibits discrimination and harassment based on characteristics protected by applicable law. This applies to recruitment, hiring, compensation, training, advancement, and all other terms of employment.
