EMS of Virginia has been in business since 2005 serving the mental health needs of the Tri-Cities area. We pride ourselves in being a "boutique" style agency. While you may find other agencies that provide IIH and MHSS, we consider ourselves to be more than "just another one of those agencies". We are constantly looking for ways to be different, to provide services to clients in a way that tailors to their specific needs, and to provide a positive, comfortable, and fun work environment for our team members. We expect hard work, but hard work pays off at EMS of Virginia!
Duties include (but are not limited to):
  • Seeing clients in the community such as the client's home
  • Providing 1-1 mental health counseling related to goals
  • Providing skill building to adults with serious mental illness
  • Taking adult clients to appointments
  • Taking adult clients to link with resources in the community
  • Case Management to ensure client's basic needs are met
  • Providing individual and family counseling to children and adolescents
  • Completing individualized services plans
  • Completing quarterly reports
  • Completing progress notes for each session with a client
  • Providing information for authorization of services
  • Meeting regularly for supervision
  • Attendance at team meetings

EMS of Virginia has been in business since 2005. We strive to hire invested individuals who are willing to help the company reach our goals so that we can help you reach your goals. In addition to a competitive hourly wage, we offer health insurance to full-time team members, accrued PTO, flexible schedules, incentives for client referrals, and incentives for referring skilled team members. We also have a tenured tier system that rewards team members the longer they are with us.
We pride ourselves in being able to provide good clinical work to clients and seek to hire individuals who are licensed or licensed-eligible as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) or Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). If you are on this path, we will work with you to provide your supervision experience toward licensure. If you are QMHP with experience with children and/or adults, we also want to hear from you!
