Description:
Overview:
We are seeking an independently licensed therapist (LPC, LCSW, LMFT) who wants to do meaningful, structured clinical work with youth in a highly supported residential setting.
This is a role for licensed therapists who are confident in their clinical skills and want to focus on assessment, stabilization, treatment planning, and trauma-informed therapy—without the isolation of private practice or the unpredictability of outpatient-only work. You will play a key role in helping stabilize high-acuity youth and guiding next-step placement and treatment decisions. Please note: At this time, we are unable to accommodate associate-level licenses (LPC Associate, LMFT Associate, or LMSW) for this position.
As a Licensed Therapist, you will work in our Secure Assessment Facility (SAF) 24/7 operational residential program to provide clinical services for youth ages 5-17. Including:
-
Comprehensive clinical assessments and treatment planning
-
Individual, group, and family therapy services
-
Crisis intervention and stabilization support
-
Collaboration with a multidisciplinary treatment team
-
Transition planning, discharge coordination, and aftercare support
-
Case management and coordination with external systems (TDFPS, families, providers)
-
Hold an active LPC, LCSW, or LMFT (independent licensure required)
-
Have experience in residential, foster care, or behavioral health settings
-
Hold confidence working with complex trauma, behavioral dysregulation, and conduct-related needs
-
Value teamwork, communication, and consistency in care
-
Can manage documentation, coordination, and clinical decision-making in a fast-paced environment
-
Master’s degree in behavioral sciences or related field
-
Hold LPC, LMFT, LCSW Licensure
-
Minimum 3 years clinical experience
-
Experience with complex trauma and high-acuity youth strongly preferred
This is a highly collaborative clinical environment designed for clinicians who want:
-
A strong interdisciplinary team (not working in isolation)
-
Complex, meaningful clinical cases involving trauma and behavioral needs
-
Structured residential setting
-
Opportunities to use assessment and diagnostic skills at a high level
-
Direct impact on stabilization and permanency outcomes for youth
At ACH, clinicians are supported. You’ll work full-time, Monday - Friday during standard office hours as part of a coordinated treatment team focused on stabilization, healing, and permanency for youth. We also offer competitive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, and a collaborative clinical environment where your work is valued.
