Therapist, At-Risk Youth

Join our team of dynamic therapists to provide a cutting-edge, "gold-standard" evidence-based therapy model. This position includes a week of training by the elite MST Institute. It is a great fit for new clinicians due to the high level of training, support, and model fidelity, but also for seasoned clinicians who want to try something new and gain experience in a specialized, highly respected practice in a home/community-based setting.

MST Therapists demonstrate grit, tenacity, and are vastly skilled both clinically and as family advocates. Our goal in MST is to do "Whatever It Takes", to help youth stay in the community, at home, and prevent detention. MST uses a trauma-informed, action-oriented process to empower caregivers and family members to participate in an integrated team approach to promote and facilitate behavior change in the acting‑out teen.

• Provide Multisystemic Therapy (MST) to youth (ages 12‑17) in the community, working in the home and addressing root causes of anti‑social behavior.
• Participate in an on‑call rotation to support caregivers and transform the lives of youth.
• Travel to the youth’s home and school for meetings and intervention implementation support.
• Maintain flexible scheduling to accommodate the needs of the community and clients.

• Master’s degree in social work, counseling, or psychology with an interest in treating antisocial behavior in youth.
• License eligible in Michigan (LLMSW, LMSW, LLPC, LPC, TLLP, LLP).
• Ability to travel throughout the day to the youth’s home and school.
• New graduates welcome; licensure supervision offered.
