Clinical Counseling and Assessment

  • Provide individual and group counseling and supportive therapy to members navigating personal, social, and faith-related challenges, including mild to moderate mental illness
  • Manage an active caseload with care, consistency, and clinical rigor
  • Conduct thorough client assessments and develop collaborative treatment plans grounded in evidence-based practice
  • Use the DSM to guide accurate, compassionate conversations around mental health conditions and diagnoses

Crisis Intervention and Community Care

  • Respond to members in crisis with preliminary mental health assessments and short-term intervention services
  • Evaluate requests for external mental health services, determine appropriate levels of care, and connect members with the right resources

Documentation and Compliance

  • Maintain accurate, thorough documentation of all client interactions — in-person, phone, and electronic
  • Uphold HIPAA standards and the ethical obligations of your licensure with integrity
  • Prepare clear, well-organized written reports and clinical notes
  • Engage actively in team meetings, staff consultations, and in-service trainings, serving as a resource to colleagues and paraprofessionals across the ministry

What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Master's degree in Counseling, Psychology, or Social Work
  • 2+ years of counseling experience
  • Active Virginia licensure as an LPC, LCSW, or LMFT
  • Strong clinical assessment and treatment skills, paired with solid leadership and organizational abilities
  • A genuine, abiding desire to help others — with the warmth, discretion, and trustworthiness that vulnerable people need
  • Comfort working both independently and as part of a collaborative, mission-driven team
  • Unwavering commitment to your professional code of ethics
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office, client management systems, and related technology

Preferred:

  • Experience in Christian or faith-integrated counseling models
  • Experience managing a high-volume caseload
  • Specialized experience in trauma treatment
  • Experience developing mental health content for blogs, podcasts, or other digital platforms
