Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT

Description

This job helps you remember why you became a therapist and offers a front-row seat to a child's healing.

For more than 130 years, Monroe Harding has stood beside children and young adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, and trauma. Every child in foster care carries the weight of what happened to them—and every child deserves someone equipped to help them carry it forward, not stay stuck in it.

As a Full-Time Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT Therapist), you'll provide specialized therapeutic care to foster children, foster families, and birth families connected to Monroe Harding's programs. You'll be the clinician in the room when a child finally feels safe enough to tell their story—and the steady presence who helps them build the resilience to write what comes next.

This isn't a job where healing happens behind a closed door and nowhere else. You'll deliver structured TF-CBT sessions, lead psycho educational groups, respond in moments of crisis, and partner with the caregivers and case teams surrounding each child, so the progress made in session carries into everyday life.

TF-CBT Therapists are central to the emotional healing and stabilization of youth impacted by trauma within Monroe Harding's Mental Health program. You'll carry a caseload of foster children and their families, delivering individual, conjoint, and family sessions while serving as a trauma-informed resource for the broader care team. Every session is different, but every session moves a child closer to hope.
