Clinician Behavioral Health

Help Children and Families Heal, Grow and Move Forward At Together for Youth, we believe meaningful change starts with strong relationships.

As a Licensed Clinician, you’ll work directly with children, youth and families to help them navigate challenges, build on their strengths and make progress toward the goals that matter to them.

Your work will combine evidence-based clinical practice with community-based support. You’ll assess needs, develop individualized treatment plans, provide individual and family counseling, and help young people develop the skills and supports they need to succeed at home and in their communities.

This is an opportunity for a licensed clinician who wants to do more than provide therapy from an office. You’ll build relationships with youth and families where they are, understand the bigger picture of their lives and help turn clinical goals into meaningful, everyday progress.
