ABOUT THE OPPORUNITY/WORK

Youth and families, mental health or co-occurring with substance use, providing services in the home, community and/or via tele-health. A Home-Based Therapist in the Specialized Services for Youth Department provides case management and treatment services including assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning and individual/family/group therapy to a caseload of youth (mental health or co-occurring with substance use) and their families. These children and adolescents qualify for the highest level of care in the community per Community Mental Health guidelines.

A Home-Based Therapist actively coordinates cases with the treatment team that could include psychiatric staff, pediatricians, and school staff. A Home-Based Therapist receives weekly individual supervision as well as group supervision on specialized topics to assist in moving towards full licensure, if needed. A Home-Based Therapist will also have the opportunity to participate in professional development activities on a variety of clinical topics including evidence-based practices and interventions, based on caseload need and therapist interest.

The Home-Based Therapist reports to the assigned Home-Based Supervisor, Specialized Services for Youth (SSY) department.
