Bilingual Community Based Clinician, MST

Overview

Do you have a passion for working with children and families? We are looking for compassionate, dedicated people in Collin County, Texas who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends.

You will receive ongoing training in the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model as you work with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement MST as designed. MST therapists do whatever it takes, via close collaboration with all involved, to address the needs of juveniles with criminal offenses, including, in some cases, substance abuse. You will empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and to help youth aged 12 - 17 make life-transforming changes.

Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support.

• Provide direct clinical treatment using the MST treatment model and principles. Principles include leveraging strengths, focusing on the positive, understanding sequences of behavior, and increasing mature behavior.
• Conduct a thorough assessment of the client and family to inform conceptualization of problem behaviors within the family’s ecological context.
• Comfort working with a diverse community of clients.
• Engage the primary caregiver, family members, supports, and community agency staff (school, probation, child welfare) in change-oriented treatment.
• Weekly case planning and evaluation of case progress with supervision and collaboration from the team.
• Receive regular training, professional development, supervision, and consultation to acquire extensive clinical skills within the MST model.
• Ensure that clients have access to 24/7 support as needed, with a team-based approach.
