What are the responsibilities and job description for the Contract Counseling for Kids in Foster Care-LPC, LCSW, or LP position at Pursuit of Happiness?
Pursuit of Happiness is currently the largest counseling organization for kids in foster care in Texas. We've been around since 2011 and have coverage in every major city and many rural areas. We're actively growing to serve the children of Texas.
We specialize in in-home counseling for children in foster care and provide individual and child-centered family counseling.
Qualified applicants must be able to provide their own transportation, have a full LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or LP license (sorry, no interns/associates), carry liability insurance, have experience working with children 3 and up, and --most importantly- have a passion for helping kids.
You can expect to be paid well. Just 15 kids will have you on track to make over $60k per year. A 25 patient caseload is over $100k. We have a couple of counselors who grind to the tune of over $200k per year. We love paying for your hard work!
Candidates MUST have experience working with children and be comfortable seeing a wide age range of kids (3 and up). Kids in foster care can be any age so this flexibility is required.
Our systems are on the cloud, eliminating the need for papers. You will not be responsible for a billing log or any other paperwork other than your notes. We are a very counselor-centric organization that tries to make things as easy as possible for our therapists so that they can do what they love, seeing patients! We look forward to hearing from you.
