Bilingual Community Based Clinician, MST

Overview

Must speak Spanish for this role. 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 has demonstrated effectiveness through extensive research. MST therapists collaborate 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. For more information on Multisystemic Therapy, please watch this video:
