CPP​/NPP Therapist; Licensed​/Unlicensed

Join Our Team as a CPP/NPP Therapist (Licensed/Unlicensed)

Brightpoint invites you to join our mission-driven staff who share a vision of an equitable world where all children and families thrive. As a leader in the human services sector for 140 years, we invest in families and strengthen communities through data-informed, collaborative, and preventative solutions.

Therapists and Counselors are supported in obtaining and maintaining clinical licensure through in-house clinical supervision and reimbursement for licensure fees. We offer advanced trainings in Play Therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy, Nurturing Parent Program, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other trainings. Collaborate with community partners to expand your professional network and access supplemental resources.

We encourage a healthy work/life balance by keeping schedules flexible, caseloads low, and focusing on quality of engagement over quantity of billable hours. Our paid leave package includes two weeks of paid vacation in the first year (increasing to more than five weeks per year), two weeks of paid sick time, two additional floating holidays, eleven paid holidays, and a paid winter break between Christmas and New Year's each year.

Therapists in our Family & Community Behavioral Health Programs provide Nurturing Parent Program (NPP) and/or Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) interventions to parents and children involved in the Illinois child welfare system. As a CPP/NPP Therapist, you will provide individual, family, and group interventions in homes, offices, and other community-based locations, targeting individualized, collaboratively developed treatment plan goals. You will coordinate services with other providers, develop appropriate referral plans, and complete thorough and timely documentation using a web-based client services platform.
