About the Role
As an Associate Therapist in a residential program for teens (12–17), you’ll build real depth quickly: individual therapy, family sessions, and daily groups, all within a structured milieu and alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team. This is one of the most immersive clinical training environments available—high-acuity clients, crisis work, and consistent supervision that accelerates your path to licensure.
We’re looking for clinicians who already have a foundation in individual and group therapy and are ready to build real clinical depth. You should be engaged, coachable, and comfortable stepping into meaningful responsibility within a fast-paced, team-based setting.
What You'll Do
- Facilitate multiple therapy groups per week using DBT, CBT, ACT, and trauma-focused modalities—group therapy is a central function of this role
- Provide individual and family therapy sessions
- Spend time in the milieu building rapport, modeling interventions, and shaping treatment in real time
- Conduct biopsychosocial and risk assessments to inform individualized treatment plans
- Collaborate in daily and weekly multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings
- Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation
- Participate in rotating on-call schedule and provide crisis support as needed
Note: This is a full-time, in-person role. The schedule includes one weekend day.
