We recently began providing services and are expanding our outpatient mental health, substance-use and intensive outpatient programs. We are seeking two compassionate, dependable licensed clinicians who want to grow with our organization. Because we are still building our caseload, this is a PRN position with no guaranteed minimum number of clients or hours at the beginning.

We especially welcome clinicians who understand the needs of Haitian and other underserved communities.
