  • Coordinate supplemental therapeutic activities for the Adolescent program
  • Act as a resource for community partners, potential intakes, and other stakeholders
  • Provide clinical supervision for staff working toward licensure

  • Act as Primary Clinical therapist for 5-8 patients in Adolescent programs
  • Oversee program and group therapist scheduling

  • Experience with patients in crisis
  • Program development and implementation experience
  • Experience running Adolescent groups and ability to lead training of Adolescent group therapists
  • Excellent time management skills, ability to juggle multiple demands simultaneously in a fast paced and changing environment
