About the Role: Provide individual, family, and group therapy for teens ages 12–17 in our Joint Commission-accredited IOP treatment program. You'll be embedded in the milieu alongside psychiatrists, nurses, and fellow clinicians—not isolated in an office.

Why Join Us:

IOP treatment is one of the most immersive clinical training grounds for licensed clinicians - diverse caseloads, complex presentations, and daily experience with crisis intervention, family systems, and evidence-based modalities.

Build experience across both intensive outpatient and residential levels of care, strengthening your group facilitation, crisis intervention, and clinical assessment skills

Collaborative, team-based environment where you learn alongside experienced clinicians

Mission-driven work helping teens and families through crisis

What You'll Do:

Provide weekly individual, family, and group therapy using DBT, CBT, ACT, and trauma-focused modalities

Spend time in the milieu building rapport, modeling interventions, and shaping treatment in real time

Conduct biopsychosocial and risk assessments to guide treatment planning

Develop and maintain individualized treatment plans

Collaborate in daily and weekly multidisciplinary team meetings

Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation

Provide crisis support as needed

Facilitate clinical groups at nearby residential treatment centers as needed, gaining experience across levels of care

Note: This is a full-time, in-person role

Requirements

What We're Looking For:

Must Have:

Master's or Doctorate in psychology, counseling, social work, or MFT

Active CA license (LMFT, LPCC, LCSW, PhD, or PsyD) or Active CA Associate number (AMFT, APCC, ACSW)

2+ years in intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, residential treatment, inpatient behavioral health, or high-acuity settings

Experience with adolescents in mental health or substance use treatment

Strong background in trauma-informed care and evidence-based modalities

Preferred:

3+ years in adolescent residential or psychiatric care

Training in EMDR, relapse prevention, or motivational interviewing

Experience with family systems work and co-occurring disorders
