Job description

Full-Time Salaried Position! New Grads Welcome!

Do you have a passion for working with children and families? Come join a small team of dedicated therapists working to improve the lives of youth and families in the community. National Counseling Group is looking for compassionate, dedicated people who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends. You will receive extensive and ongoing training and supervision in the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model as you work with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement MST as designed.

Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST. MST therapists do whatever it takes, via close collaboration with all involved, to address the needs of juveniles who are involved in high-risk behaviors and, in some cases, substance abuse. You will empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and to help youth aged 12 - 17 make life-transforming changes.
