People Encouraging People is an organization driven by our core values. Our programs provide a wide range of services, from rehabilitation, to assistance for the deaf and blind, to residential and vocational ventures aimed at assimilating our clients into the community.

Our clients face various challenges, from schizophrenia to drug addiction to homelessness. They represent the full diversity of our community. What they have in common is they are treated with respect and decency and shown that through hard work and encouragement, they can improve the quality of their lives and the quality of our community.

Make a Real Impact—Beyond the Therapy Office

Are you a therapist who wants to do more than sit in an office all day? Join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team and help individuals with serious mental illness live independently, stay out of the hospital, and build meaningful lives in their communities.

This is not traditional outpatient therapy. ACT is hands-on, team-based, and deeply impactful work—where every day is different, and your support meets clients where they are.

What You’ll Do

• Provide community-based mental health services in homes, shelters, and other real-world settings
• Work as part of a multidisciplinary team (psychiatry, nursing, case management, peer support)
• Share responsibility for a team caseload—no isolated practice

Support clients with:

• Symptom management
• Crisis intervention
• Housing stability
• Substance use recovery
• Daily living skills

Why This Role Is Different

• You’re not alone: Shared caseload + daily team support
• Flexible, field-based work: Less back-to-back sessions, more meaningful engagement
• Real outcomes: Help reduce hospitalizations and support long-term recovery
• Creative problem-solving: No “one-size-fits-all” treatment plans

What We’re Looking For

• Licensed Professional (LMSW, LGPC, LCPC, LCSW-C)
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Comfort working in community settings and adapting to changing situations
• Passion for serving individuals with serious mental illness

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Clinical supervision toward licensure (if applicable)
• Mileage reimbursement for field work
• Ongoing training in evidence-based practices
• Supportive team culture focused on preventing burnout
