By providing a combination of behavioral health services, youth development, and asset-building resources – as well as meals for seniors and interpreting services statewide – our impact strengthens our community. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive team where employees feel a sense of belonging and are valued for their contributions and perspectives. In all our interactions, whether with clients, colleagues, or community members, we strive to be respectful, transparent, collaborative, deliberate and impactful.

As one of eight outpatient Urban Trauma Centers in Connecticut, and member of the Urban Trauma Network (UTN), LifeBridge receives coaching, training, technical assistance, and fidelity monitoring from the Urban Trauma-Performance Improvement Center to enhance clinical competencies to best serve the community.

Job Purpose/Function: LifeBridge is seeking an experienced Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) to join our therapeutic treatment team. The ATR-BC will provide art therapy to provide the opportunity for non-verbal expressions and communication via the various media of art to further self-awareness and personal growth for the individual. The ATR-BC will support the integration of art therapy as a new treatment modality within LifeBridge's behavioral health department. This position will provide clinical services as both an ATR-BC and an LPC, with the ability to offer art therapy, as well as other evidence-based interventions (e.g., CBT, TF-CBT, DBT) based on client's needs and desires.

Determines and implements client engagement strategies to address ambivalence and empower change.
Recommends changes in the client's level of care or treatment planning, including enrollment status in program, transfer to another LifeBridge clinician within the same program should that become necessary and referrals to agency medical personnel, with the input from the clinical supervisor.
Exchanges client protected health information, in writing and verbally to persons noted in client's signed written consent.
As a mandated reporter, contacts appropriate authorities if client is a danger to themselves, to others, or if notified (or suspicion exists) of abuse to a child or incapacitated adult.

Education and Experience Required:

Master's Degree in Art Therapy from a program accredited by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA).
Board Certified Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) accredited by the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB).
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Connecticut.
Prior experience working with underserved and under-resourced children, adolescents (6-18 years old) and their family members who have experienced trauma and traumatic events preferred.
