Family Therapist (Spanish-Speaking)

Do you have a passion for working with children and families? Are you looking to work in evidence-based practice? We are seeking a full time Family Therapist (Spanish)! We are looking for compassionate, dedicated people in New York City who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends.

What is MST?

As a Family Therapist, formally titled an MST Therapist, you will receive ongoing training in the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model as you work with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement MST as designed. Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST. The family therapist will do whatever it takes, via close collaboration with all involved, to address the needs of adolescents returning from residential placement for mental health, trauma, and in some cases, substance abuse. You will empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and to help youth make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support, to name a few. What is MST? Watch here!
