Counselors and therapists are needed for family-based therapy working with children, adolescents, families, and collaborators in a team based approach.

There are three (3) levels of staff therapists.

Each team will be comprised of one master’s level therapist and one bachelor’s level therapist. A team may also be comprised of two master’s level clinicians;

however, a team may not be comprised of two bachelor’s level therapists unless a bachelor’s level therapist has completed the WPIC training program and passed DPW’s mental health worker examination. A team may also include a mental health aid if the program director deems necessary to assist the treatment team.

The mental health professional is a master’s level therapist and reports directly to the program director.
