Family Therapist

Center for Teens is an exciting new outpatient facility providing comprehensive mental health treatment exclusively for adolescents. It is our mission to address the rapidly growing adolescent mental health crisis with comprehensive, evidence –based treatment delivered by talented, highly-skilled, well-trained, compassionate therapists who care about adolescent mental health care as much as we do. We serve our clients with a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Traditional Outpatient Therapy, all DBT-aligned, measurement-based, and tailored to meet each individual client’s needs. Additionally, because outcome studies show that programs that involve families produce better treatment results than those that don’t, we include family throughout each teens’ treatment journey.

Center for Teens supports our clinicians in the important work they do with highly competitive pay and benefits, comprehensive administrative support, a wealth of high-quality training and case consultation, and state of the art facilities and technology. We are committed to caring for our clinicians first because their well-being determines the quality of care our clients receive.

This role brings with it an opportunity to help shape the clinical and work-place culture at Center for Teens as we launch each of our programs. Joining a new company like ours presents unparalleled career opportunities, and we are ready to support your growth as we expand. We are searching for an experienced, fully licensed therapist (LMFT, LPC, LCSW, LP) to provide primarily family therapy and multi-family group therapy for our adolescent IOP and PHP clients. Because we are a DBT-aligned program, the therapist will support the adolescents by teaching family members DBT-A skills (Walking the Middle Path) and facilitating their use in family sessions. DBT training and support is provided to all Center for Teens therapists. Please note that because we serve adolescents and support their educational needs, some evening hours will be required.
