Overview: 

We are seeking an independently licensed therapist (LPC, LCSW, LMFT) who wants to do meaningful, structured clinical work with youth in a highly supported residential setting.  This is a role for licensed therapists who are confident in their clinical skills and want to focus on assessment, stabilization, treatment planning, and trauma-informed therapy—without the isolation of private practice or the unpredictability of outpatient-only work. You will play a key role in helping stabilize high-acuity youth and guiding next-step placement and treatment decisions. Please note: At this time, we are unable to accommodate associate-level licenses (LPC Associate, LMFT Associate, or LMSW) for this position.

Responsibilities:

As a Licensed Therapist, you will support at our Main Wichita St. Campus and our Wedgwood Transitional Living Campus. These are 24/7 operational residential programs to provide clinical services for youth ages 5-17. Including:

• Comprehensive clinical assessments and treatment planning
• Individual, group, and family therapy services
• Crisis intervention and stabilization support
• Collaboration with a multidisciplinary treatment team
• Transition planning, discharge coordination, and aftercare support
• Case management and coordination with external systems (TDFPS, families, providers)

The Ideal Candidate Will:

• Hold an active LPC, LCSW, or LMFT (independent licensure required)
• Have experience in residential, foster care, or behavioral health settings
• Hold confidence working with complex trauma, behavioral dysregulation, and conduct-related needs
• Value teamwork, communication, and consistency in care
• Can manage documentation, coordination, and clinical decision-making in a fast-paced environment

Required Experience:

• Master’s degree in behavioral sciences or related field
• Hold LPC, LMFT, LCSW Licensure
• Minimum 3 years clinical experience
• Experience with complex trauma and high-acuity youth strongly preferred

Why Clinicians Choose This Role:

This is a highly collaborative clinical environment designed for clinicians who want:

• A strong interdisciplinary team (not working in isolation)
• Complex, meaningful clinical cases involving trauma and behavioral needs
• Structured residential setting
• Opportunities to use assessment and diagnostic skills at a high level
• Direct impact on stabilization and permanency outcomes for youth
