A successful Therapeutic Mentor in an In-Home Therapy program can effectively build rapport with youth and families, actively engage them in the treatment plan, provide consistent support in their natural environment, demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, and translate clinical goals into practical, real-life strategies, all while collaborating closely with the clinical team and respecting the family's cultural context.

Benefits:

We offer a competitive compensation package, along with a comprehensive benefits package including dental, health, and life insurance. Paid time off, earned vacation, and paid holidays are also provided.
