$1,000 SIGN ON BONUS AVAILABLE
Do you have a Master's degree in Counseling or Social Work? Are you interested in counseling adults with substance use?
Therapists in our Adult Outpatient Counseling Program provide counseling that assists clients in achieving and maintaining recovery from their substance use disorder, managing their mental health issues, and remaining in the community. Services are primarily provided in groups in a non-residential setting, and include Intensive Outpatient and Day Treatment groups.
The schedule for this position is primarily day shift. No weekends!
What the week looks like for an Adult Outpatient Counseling Therapist:
The Therapist's week includes regularly scheduled groups that meet multiple times per week and are co-facilitated with another staff member. Between groups, the Therapist may meet with clients individually, complete assessments, or provide crisis intervention. The highlight of a Therapist's week is when a client has an "a-ha!" moment in a group or counseling session and decides to make a positive change in their life.
Requirements:
1. Master's degree in a human services field that fulfills the criteria to pursue licensure as a professional counselor or clinical social worker in the Commonwealth of Virginia. LPC or LCSW is a plus!
2. Skills: Possess knowledge and skills of treatment of population served, behavior modification, treatment planning, record documentation, de-escalation of volatile client situations, individual, group, and family counseling, and knowledge of human behavior.
