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. You may be asked to work one evening per week. 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.
