Description

The Family Institute at Northwestern University, a leading behavioral health system that integrates clinical service, education and research, has an opening for a staff psychotherapist who specializes in working with families of youth and young adults in addition to the other treatment modalities.

Our ideal candidate possesses a background in systemic psychotherapy, flexibility working across levels of the systems (e.g., individual, couple, family, subsystems) and competence incorporating evidence-based treatment modalities into their practice. Primary responsibilities include effectively managing a clinical caseload (up to 26 sessions weekly), collaborating with our Clinical Services team, willingness to market and build a clinical practice within Chicagoland and demonstrating an ongoing investment in professional development.

Opportunities for teaching and clinical supervision may be available for qualified applicants.

Requirements

We are seeking Doctoral-level clinicians and/or Master's level clinicians to join our esteemed clinical service team. Clinicians who demonstrate cultural humility, passion for the work we do and commitment to delivering scientifically informed treatment, will be the best fit for our organization. Applicants must be licensed, or nearly licensed, in Illinois as a counselor, social worker, psychologist or family therapist.

Please note that any candidate who is or has a family member/close personal connection to a current TFI client cannot be considered for hiring as this may pose an ethical conflict of interest. Thank you for your understanding.
