Amft Addiction Jobs in Santa Rosa, CA (NOW HIRING)

Muir Wood Teen Treatment | Petaluma, CA | Full-Time $75,000- $88,000 annually based on experience |Sunday–Thursday or Tuesday-Saturday

About the Role

As an Associate Therapist in a residential program for teens (12–17), you’ll build real depth quickly: individual therapy, family sessions, and daily groups, all within a structured milieu and alongside an experienced multidisciplinary team. This is one of the most immersive clinical training environments available—high-acuity clients, crisis work, and consistent supervision that accelerates your path to licensure.

We’re looking for clinicians who already have a foundation in individual and group therapy and are ready to build real clinical depth. You should be engaged, coachable, and comfortable stepping into meaningful responsibility within a fast-paced, team-based setting.

What You'll Do

• Facilitate multiple therapy groups per week using DBT, CBT, ACT, and trauma-focused modalities—group therapy is a central function of this role
• Provide individual and family therapy sessions
• Spend time in the milieu building rapport, modeling interventions, and shaping treatment in real time
• Conduct biopsychosocial and risk assessments to inform individualized treatment plans
• Collaborate in daily and weekly multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings
• Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation
• Participate in rotating on-call schedule and provide crisis support as needed

Note: This is a full-time, in-person role. The schedule includes one weekend day.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Master's or Doctorate in psychology, counseling, social work, or MFT
• Active California associate license: AMFT, ASW, or APCC
• Experience facilitating therapeutic groups (practicum, internship, or post-grad settings accepted)
• Comfort with adolescents in mental health, substance use, or high-acuity settings
• Grounding in trauma-informed care and at least one evidence-based modality (DBT, CBT, ACT, etc.)

Preferred (not required):

• Experience in residential, inpatient, or intensive outpatient (IOP/PHP) settings
• Training in EMDR, motivational interviewing, or relapse prevention
• Exposure to co-occurring disorders or family systems work
• Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Level (CADC), Certified Addiction Treatment Counselor (CATC), or Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC) preferred

Why Associate Clinicians Choose Muir Wood

• Weekly individual supervision toward LMFT, LCSW, or LPCC—built into your schedule, not an afterthought
• Diverse caseload including individual, family, and group therapy = well-rounded hours accrual across modalities
• Multidisciplinary team: you're learning daily alongside psychiatrists, nurses, and senior clinicians
• Pay increase upon full licensure
• Mission-driven culture focused on teen and family healing

Benefits:

• Medical, Dental & Vision insurance
• 401(k) + employer match
• PTO & Sick Pay
• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Company-provided mobile phone & laptop
• Employee Discount Marketplace
