Bilingual Counselor

Bilingual in Spanish/English required. We are seeking a Bilingual Support Counselor to join our Wraparound Services team, providing behaviorally focused mental health support to children and families. Serving youth ages 5 to 18, this role is part of a collaborative, multi‑disciplinary team dedicated to empowering families through individualized, strengths‑based care.

Seneca offers Wraparound services to children and youth susceptible of placement, and to their families.
