Job Title: Community-based Qualified Mental Health Professional/Counselor

Hiring Salary Range: Annual Salary of $56,000 to $62,400

Overview

· Do you have a passion for working with children and families? New Path Interventions is looking for compassionate, dedicated people in the Petersburg area who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends.

· Would you thrive in a supportive team environment? Learning and growing every day? Working with a small caseload of families?

· You will receive ongoing team support, training and supervision in the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model as you work holistically with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement MST.

· Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST. MST therapists work in close collaboration with all involved to address the needs of youth who engage in problematic and criminal behaviors, and, in some cases, substance abuse.

· You will empower families to address problematic behaviors and to help their youth ages 12 - 17 make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as changing unhelpful family interactions, addressing the youth’s problems with peers and in school, and increasing social support, to name a few.

Preferred Experience

· Direct use of pragmatic (i.e., structural, strategic, and functional) family therapies

· Therapy with children and adults using cognitive-behavioral techniques

· Couples therapy using behaviorally based approaches

· Implementation of interventions within or between systems in the youth’s natural ecology (i.e., family, peer, school, and neighborhood)

· Collaboration and partnership with community agencies

· Previous work providing in-home or community-based therapy services

Benefits Package

· Medical

· Dental

· Vision

· 401K

· PTO

· Licensing Support

Qualifications

· Bachelor’s degree with minimum of two years of experience working with family and/or youth services

· New master’s level graduates are welcome.

· Must possess a valid driver’s license and have reliable transportation to travel to client’s homes and possibly transport clients.

· Must live within a 30 – 45 minute travel time from the designated service area.

Duties & Responsibilities

· Engage in weekly case planning and evaluation of case progress, with ongoing support from your supervisor and team members, including through group supervision.

· While only one QMHP works with a particular family, the MST team facilitates a supportive work environment to cover each other’s clients for vacation/time off and support each other to maintain a work/life balance.

· Receive regular training, professional development, supervision, and consultation activities designed to help you acquire extensive clinical skills within the MST treatment model.

· Provide clinical treatment to families using the MST treatment model and principles. Some principles include leveraging strengths and focusing on the positive, understanding sequences of behavior, and increasing mature behavior.

· Conduct a thorough assessment of the client and family: gather information on behaviors of concern and strengths in the family and their ecology to inform conceptualization of the problem behaviors and interactions within the family’s ecological context.

· Work comfortably with a diverse community of clients

· Learn how to effectively connect with the families in the communities served by the team

· Continuously work to engage the primary caregiver, family members, supports, and community agency staff (school, probation, child welfare) in change-oriented treatment.
