Job Description
A Brief Overview Are you passionate about helping teens and families navigate life's toughest moments? Carroll Hospital's Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offer structured, short-term treatment for adolescents who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require 24-hour inpatient care. Through daily group therapy, psychiatric support, and collaboration with schools and families, our programs help teens stabilize, build coping skills, and successfully transition back to home and academic life. Our program is LGBTQ2S-affirming, gender-affirming, trauma-informed, and trauma-responsive, providing inclusive and culturally competent care for all adolescents and families. Clinicians utilize evidence-based treatment modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other strength-based interventions. What You Will Do Conduct comprehensive psychosocial assessments with adolescents and families to identify emotional, behavioral, and social needs. Facilitate daily group therapy sessions focused on skill-building, emotional regulation, communication, and healthy coping strategies. Deliver care that is LGBTQ2S-affirming, gender-affirming, and trauma-informed/trauma-responsive, supporting each adolescent's unique identity and lived experience. Collaborate with psychiatrists, nurses, and program staff to ensure coordinated, developmentally appropriate care. Engage parents and caregivers through communication and education, reinforcing treatment goals and supporting continuity of care at home. Incorporate DBT-informed and other evidence-based approaches to promote emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Monitor progress and adjust therapeutic interventions in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team. Document assessments, group sessions, and progress notes accurately and promptly in accordance with hospital, departmental, and legal standards. Qualifications Master's degree in Social Work, Counseling, Marriage & Family Therapy, or a related behavioral health field. Active Maryland licensure
