We are looking for a FT or PT therapist who enjoys working with youth. Joshua Tree Health runs Intensive Outpatient & Partial Hospitalization Program (IOP & PHP) and for teens (13–17) and preteens (10–12). We are a mission driven organization committed to expanding access to quality mental health care to teens. Website: https://www.jtreehealth.com/ We are hiring Licensed Therapists to carry clinical work in those programs: individual and family sessions, diagnostic assessments, and the treatment planning.

Our clients come to us several days a week, in small groups, in a stage of life where the family system is part of the treatment.

What you'll do

• Conduct diagnostic assessments and intakes, and build treatment plans.
• Manage risk and crisis: assessment, safety planning, and coordination of a higher level of care when clinically indicated.
• Document in Ritten (our EHR) accurately and on time — medical necessity, progress toward goals, and the level-of-care justification that keeps care authorized.
• Coordinate with the treatment team, psychiatric/med-management providers, schools, referring providers, and utilization review.
• Participate in supervision and case consultation

What we're looking for

• Active North Carolina licensure — LCMHC, LCSW, LMFT. Associate-level licensure (LCMHCA, LCSWA, LMFTA) considered with supervision.
• Experience with adolescents and children, ideally in a structured level of care (IOP, PHP, residential, or school-based).
• Preferred experience with DBT
