• Collaborate with school personnel and your clinical team to coordinate care.
• Provide crisis intervention and support as needed.
• Maintain compliance with all regulatory, ethical, and confidentiality guidelines.

Requirements

• Active Ohio behavioral health license (LSW, LISW, LPC, LPCC, MFT, IMFT), or current graduate-level intern status in a social work, counseling, or marriage and family therapy program.
• Master's degree (or in progress) in social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, or a related field.
• Experience or strong interest in providing therapy to children and adolescents (school-based experience a plus).
