Job Description
Child Therapist (School-Based) - LPCC, LPCA, LCSW, or CSW Bluegrass Behavioral Services is seeking compassionate, energetic, and mission-driven therapists to join our growing team serving children and families throughout Central Kentucky. This position is primarily school-based and offers the unique opportunity to provide in vivo therapy —delivering services in the child's natural environment where challenges, strengths, and opportunities for growth are most evident. Rather than relying solely on traditional office-based sessions, our therapists work directly with children in schools and community settings to create meaningful and lasting change. About the Role As a Child Therapist, you will provide therapeutic interventions to children and adolescents experiencing a variety of behavioral health, emotional, developmental, and social challenges. Our population includes children struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, attachment concerns, behavioral disorders, developmental delays, and other mental health conditions. Through in vivo treatment, therapists help children build skills in real-world environments while collaborating closely with families, educators, and other service providers to support success across settings. Responsibilities Provide individual and family therapy services in schools and community settings. Utilize evidence-based interventions tailored to each child's developmental needs. Collaborate with teachers, school personnel, caregivers, and multidisciplinary treatment teams. Complete timely clinical documentation and treatment planning. Conduct assessments and monitor treatment progress. Support children in developing emotional regulation, social skills, coping strategies, and healthy behavioral patterns. Participate in team meetings, supervision, and ongoing professional development. Qualifications Kentucky LPCC, LPCA, LCSW, or CSW license required. Experience working with children, adolescents, and families preferred. Strong clinical, communication, and collaboration skills. Ability to work independently while remaining connected to a supportive team. Reliable transportation and willingness to travel between service locations. Why Join Bluegrass Behavioral Services? Meaningful work that directly impacts children and families. Flexible scheduling opportunities. Supportive and collaborative clinical environment. Ongoing supervision and professional growth opportunities. Opportunity to practice innovative, community-based, in vivo therapy. Competitive compensation and benefits package. If you are passionate about helping children succeed where they live, learn, and grow, we would love to hear from you. Join Bluegrass Behavioral Services and make a difference where it matters most—in the child's everyday world.
