Therapist - Adults Counseling Center

Make a meaningful impact where it matters most. Aurora Mental Health & Recovery (AMHR) is seeking a compassionate and dedicated Master's-level Unlicensed Therapist (MA in Counseling with Candidate Permit – SWC/LSW, LPCC, or MFT-C), Licensed Therapist (LCSW, LPC, or LMFT), or Unlicensed/Licensed Psychologist to join our Older Adult Counseling Center. Guided by our value of putting clients and community first, this role offers the unique opportunity to provide individual, group, and couples therapy to adults ages 55+ in both traditional office settings and community-based environments, including nursing homes and assisted living communities throughout Aurora.

The ideal candidate is passionate about serving older adults, enjoys building meaningful connections in the community, and thrives in a flexible, client-centered environment. Bilingual candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Join a team committed to improving the mental health and well‑being of older adults while making a lasting difference where people live, heal, and thrive.

We offer flexible work arrangements, including either a traditional 5‑day, 8‑hour schedule (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.) or a 4‑day, 10‑hour workweek. This position follows a hybrid model that blends remote work, office‑based services, and community outreach. Therapists are expected to work in the office and field on Mondays and Thursdays, with an additional half day to full day in the field based on client and community needs.

The remainder of the week may be worked remotely when scheduling allows. Flexibility is essential, as work locations and schedules may be adjusted to best support client care and community partnerships.
