Clinical Program Supervisor– Multisystemic Therapy (MST)

We are looking for a dedicated and courageous leader with strong mental health clinical training to supervise and lead a team of 2-4 therapists in implementing Multisystemic Therapy (MST).

Must reside locally.
3 years minimum Clinical supervisory experience is required. Providing evidence-based therapy experience is required. 

Do you have a passion for working with children and their families? We are looking for a strong leader who is compassionate and dedicated to leading a team of clinical therapists to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends. 

You will receive ongoing training in the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model as you work with key members to implement MST. Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST. 
MST therapists/clinicians do whatever it takes, via close collaboration with all involved, to address the needs of juveniles with criminal offenses, including, in some cases, substance abuse. Our team of clinicians will empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and to help youth aged 12–17 make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support, to name a few.
