SUMMARY OF JOB DESCRIPTION

The School-Based Therapist provides comprehensive, school-based mental health services to students in need of support within Eagle County School District. The School-Based Therapist responds to referrals from school personnel, assesses level of need, and delivers appropriate interventions, including crisis response and safety planning when necessary. Responsibilities include conducting diagnostic assessments, developing treatment goals, and providing individual therapy, group therapy, and family support, as well as case management services. The therapist utilizes evidence-based practices to address a range of emotional, behavioral, and social needs. Therapists collaborate closely with school staff, families, and community partners to support student well-being and academic success. In addition to direct clinical services, the therapist participates in school-based meetings as appropriate, contributes to multidisciplinary teams, and supports the implementation of school-wide mental health initiatives.
