Subject Line: Child & Adolescent Therapist Application
Position: Part-Time Child & Adolescent Mental Health Therapist
About Us:
At Forest Counseling, we believe in creating a safe, welcoming space where children, teens, and families can find support, healing, and hope. Our team is passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care, and we’re excited to welcome another therapist who shares our heart for helping young people thrive.
Position Overview:
We’re looking for a part-time Mental Health Therapist who specializes in working with children and adolescents. The right fit will enjoy building strong connections with kids, teens, and families while using proven therapeutic approaches to support growth and resilience. Afternoon and evening availability is important so we can best serve our families.
What We’re Looking For:
- Master’s degree in social work, counseling, or related field
- Licensed LCSW, LPC, LMFT
- Experience working with children, teens, and families
- Training and/or certification in one or more is a plus:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
- ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)
- PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy)
What You’ll Do:
- This role is based on building supportive, compassionate relationships with clients. It begins with getting to know each individual through thoughtful assessments, listening to their history, understanding their challenges, and working together to identify their needs. From there, you’ll create personalized treatment plans that set meaningful goals and outline the best ways to achieve them.
- You’ll provide caring individual and family counseling, helping clients grow, heal, and move toward the life they want. Collaboration is also key; you’ll stay connected with doctors, insurance providers, and other members of the client’s support system (with proper permission) to ensure care feels seamless and well-coordinated.
- Since every person’s journey is unique, flexibility is part of the work—schedules and responsibilities may shift to meet the evolving needs of both the program and the clients we’re honored to serve.
- Complete documentation to meet insurance standards, collect co-pays, and respond to phone calls and emails in a timely manner.
What We Offer:
- Flexible, part-time hours with a focus on afternoons and evenings (10-16 sessions per week)
- Would be a W-2 position with a fee split based on experience & licensure
- Warm, collaborative, and friendly team environment
- Work that truly makes a difference in kids’ and families’ lives
- This position has the potential to grow into a full-time position with benefits such as medical, dental, vision, flexible scheduling, and CEUs/Licensure renewals.
