• Mission-driven work helping teens and families through crisis
• Full benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k + match, PTO, FSA, EAP

What You'll Do:

• Provide weekly individual, family, and group therapy using DBT, CBT, ACT, and trauma-focused modalities

• Conduct biopsychosocial and risk assessments to guide treatment planning
• Develop and maintain individualized treatment plans
• Collaborate in daily and weekly multidisciplinary team meetings
• Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation
• Participate in a rotating on-call schedule and provide crisis support as needed
• Note: This is a full-time, in-person role that includes one weekend day in your regular schedule

What We're Looking For:

Must Have:

• Master's or Doctorate in psychology, counseling, social work, or MFT
• Active CA license: LMFT, LPCC, LCSW, PhD, or PsyD
• 2+ years in residential treatment, inpatient behavioral health, or high-acuity settings

• Strong background in trauma-informed care and evidence-based modalities

Preferred:

• Training in EMDR, relapse prevention, or motivational interviewing
• Experience with family systems work and co-occurring disorders

Benefits:

• Medical/Dental/Vision
