- New Focus Academy, located in Heber City, Utah, provides a safe treatment residence and academic setting for students with neurodiversity, with many of them being on the Autism Spectrum. This wonderful group of misunderstood adolescents requires an understanding of unique minds and the functional and emotional complications they struggle with while adapting to the world. As a therapist you will be doing individual therapy, but this is often broken into multiple short sessions to allow for greater contact across the week. Family therapy happens weekly to allow students and families to work on healthy skills and positive interactions. Our therapists will have a caseload of approximately 7 to 11 students (anything over 8 students results in bonus pay) to allow them to be involved in providing teaching and learning to staff members, be part of treatment team meetings, create treatment plans that help direct how to best help the student. Therapists also run one to two group therapy sessions a week. Due to term breaks where minimal on site work is required there are opportunities for ample amounts of paid time off, on top of typical PTO, so long as all work is completed.
