Position Overview:

This role provides outpatient mental health therapy across one or more clinic locations depending on program needs. Clinicians will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver individualized, evidence-based care.

What This Role Offers:

• Flexible, part-time schedule.
• Pay-per-client structure.
• Opportunity to work across multiple clinic locations.
• Afternoon and after-school availability preferred.
• Opportunities for increased hours as caseloads expand.
• Pathway to full-time salaried positions with benefits as the program grows.

Responsibilities:

• Provide individual and family therapy to children and adolescents.
• Develop and implement treatment plans.
• Complete timely clinical documentation.
• Collaborate with care coordination and clinical teams.
• Participate in case consultation and team communication.
• Support continuity of care across settings.

Minimum Qualifications:

Licensed Therapists:

• Working with children, adolescents, neurodivergent clients, and their parents or caregivers.
• Developing strengths-based individual and family treatment plans with SMART goals and measurable outcomes.
• Writing timely progress notes that connect the assessment, diagnosis, treatment goals, interventions, client response, and ongoing medical necessity through the Golden Thread.
• Providing and documenting case management and interdisciplinary care coordination.
• Completing discharge or termination summaries with a clear clinical rationale and recommendations for continued care.

Growth Opportunity:

This position is designed to grow with program demand. As caseloads and service needs expand, there is potential to increase hours and transition into full-time salaried positions with benefits, based on organizational needs, staffing capacity, and available openings.
