Center for Active Minds is looking to hire a W-2 employee who is a Licensed Mental Health Professional (Clinical Psychologist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Social Worker) with at least 2 years of experience working in an outpatient mental health setting. We promote the provision of specialty services to the community. We would love to consider hiring a therapist with expertise in one or two areas, including couples' therapy, family therapy, co-parenting concerns, Autism, or other related areas of interest. We are currently operating a waitlist for services focused on ADHD and/or anxiety in children, and a therapist who specializes in this area may also be a good fit. Our core goal as a company is to provide transparent, specialized, evidence-based therapy to youth clients and their parents, facilitating collaboration and growth within families.
Who We Are:
We are a private-pay specialty clinic offering transparent, empirically-based therapy and evaluations for toddlers, pre-k, children, teens, young adults, and adults. We operate in a non-medical office setting. We collaborate with clients and their parents to implement individualized therapeutic techniques that focus on the whole client (e.g., eating habits, sleep behavior) and their context (working with parents and/or teachers), and to provide services tailored to our clients' strengths and needs. We believe human nature is innately good and productive. We operate under a model of understanding that clients want to develop self-awareness and improve daily functioning, and we work collaboratively with them to help them achieve their goals. In our work with kids, it is important to collaborate with parents, teachers, and pediatricians to help the child experience success. We believe that the field of mental health is a profession driven by empathy, and this is a primary requirement for a therapist who would be a good fit for our Center. We prioritize applicants who are a good personality fit with our current employees, emphasize collaboration, and who resonate with our values (transparency, evidence-based services, having providers who specialize in 1 or 2 areas). At this time, our specialty is focused on clients with ADHD and/or Anxiety, and we are interested in either maintaining this specialty only or expanding it to add a therapist with another related area of specialization.
