• A trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach that respects each family’s strengths, identity, and choices.
• Ability to collaborate with a BHP while maintaining clear roles and consistent treatment direction.
• Strong communication, organization, professional boundaries, and follow-through.
• Reliable transportation and ability to provide services in homes and community settings.
• Availability that aligns with family needs, including [afternoon/evening hours, if applicable].
• Ability to complete required background checks and training.

Preferred experience:Home-based treatment, family therapy, caregiver coaching, trauma treatment, and working with children who have complex emotional or behavioral needs.

We care about meaningful relationships with the families we serve and within our team. We value clinicians who bring curiosity, share ideas, ask for support, and recognize that progress often happens through small, consistent steps.

This is an opportunity to provide hands-on family treatment while helping shape a growing HCT program.
