NPP-CPP Therapist; Unlicensed​/Licensed

About Brightpoint

Brightpoint invites you to join our team of mission-driven staff who share a common vision: an equitable world where all children and families thrive in strong communities. As a leader in the human services sector for 140 years, we aim to advance the well‑being of children by investing in families and strengthening 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 also offer advanced trainings such as Play Therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy, Nurturing Parent Program, Trauma‑Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other relevant training, as well as opportunities to collaborate with community partners to expand your professional network.

We encourage a healthy work/life balance by keeping schedules flexible and caseloads low, focusing on quality of engagement rather than quantity of billable hours. We offer a generous paid leave package that includes two weeks of paid vacation in the first year (increasing over tenure 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 NPP‑CPP Therapist, you will provide individual, family, and group interventions in homes, offices, and community locations, targeting individualized, collaboratively developed treatment plan goals. Therapists also coordinate services with other providers, develop referral plans, and complete thorough, timely documentation, including assessment and service notes, using a web‑based client services platform.
