We are looking for a therapist who brings empathy, flexibility, sound clinical judgment, and a genuine interest in connecting with adolescents and supporting their growth.

What You’ll Do

• Maintain accurate documentation: Complete timely, thorough, and accurate clinical notes, treatment plans, progress updates, and discharge documentation.
• Recognize when additional support is needed: Identify when referrals, psychological testing, or a higher level of care may benefit a client.
• Contribute to program growth: Share ideas and collaborate with colleagues to strengthen programming, improve the teen experience, and support effective clinical practices.
• Practice ethically and responsibly: Maintain professional boundaries and follow applicable legal, ethical, confidentiality, and clinical standards.
• Support Milieu Management: Actively contribute to a safe, structured, and therapeutic milieu by setting clear expectations, maintaining appropriate boundaries, and promoting a positive group environment. Support teens in navigating peer interactions, managing challenging behaviors, and practicing healthy communication and coping skills in real time. Maintain awareness of group dynamics, respond proactively to disruptions, and collaborate with the clinical team to ensure consistency, safety, and accountability throughout the program day.
