About Counseling Works

Counseling Works is a boutique private practice in Naperville, Frankfort, and Lemont, IL. We are looking for a therapist with a variety of expertise and experience, yet a passion to advance their skills with a specific client population. The therapist will be exposed to various modalities of treatment, and will be expected to conduct diagnostic assessments to formulate DSM 5 diagnoses and complete treatment plans to support therapeutic interventions.

The candidate must have experience working with individuals in 1:1 traditional sessions, and have utilized clinical interventions in their current or previous work experience. Candidates must hold a license, or provisional license and must be working towards clinical licensure in the state of Illinois.

In addition to the above, the ideal candidate will be friendly, outgoing, and take genuine enjoyment in connecting with others. The therapist will have a warm communication style, and take pleasure in interacting with other team members, or collaborating in a team setting. While the therapist will have opportunities to work autonomously, they will find support and structure in the Counseling Works team, and leadership.
