Chat and Change Counseling, LLC is a specialized mental health practice committed to providing trauma-informed care to individuals impacted by traumatic experiences. Our mission is to create a safe and supportive space for trauma survivors, focusing on effective treatment protocols for conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, and dissociative disorders. We pride ourselves on our collaborative approach, working closely with our clients to facilitate their healing process and empower them to regain control over their lives.

This role is entirely remote, allowing for a flexible work schedule that can be adapted to your lifestyle. By utilizing telehealth platforms, our therapists engage with clients in a user-friendly digital format that is conducive to therapeutic discussions while maintaining confidentiality and comfort. As part of our team, you will also participate in virtual meetings, case consultations, and professional development initiatives that enrich your clinical skills and foster a sense of community among team members.

• Conduct comprehensive trauma-informed mental health assessments, identifying each client's unique trauma history and treatment needs.
• Design and implement tailored treatment plans that focus on trauma recovery, resilience, and empowerment.
• Utilize evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), in individual and group therapy sessions.
• Support clients through the processing of trauma, the development of coping strategies, and the promotion of overall mental well-being.
• Collaborate closely with psychiatrists and multidisciplinary team members to ensure integrated care and optimal patient outcomes.
• Provide immediate crisis intervention when necessary, offering essential support during trauma-related emergencies.
• Educate clients and their families about trauma responses, coping mechanisms, and available mental health resources.
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date documentation in compliance with legal and ethical standards, utilizing electronic health record (EHR) systems efficiently.
• Engage in ongoing professional development through workshops, relevant training, and staying informed about the latest research and best practices in trauma therapy.

You will be working primarily with adult clients who have experienced various forms of trauma. These individuals may present with complex mental health issues related to past experiences, including PTSD and dissociative disorders. Your role will involve not just therapeutic intervention but also extensive engagement with clients to foster a trusting therapeutic alliance that encourages open communication and growth.

• A current and valid license (LCSW, LPCC, or LMFT) to practice in the state of California.
• A strong foundational knowledge and understanding of trauma-related disorders and effective trauma-informed treatment therapies.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, demonstrating empathy and a non-judgmental attitude in client interactions.
• Ability to maintain composure in high-stress situations, supporting clients effectively through challenging moments.
• Proficiency in using electronic health record (EHR) systems and technology platforms.

While the minimum requirement is two years of post-licensure experience, candidates with a proven track record in trauma-focused therapies and interventions will stand out. Experience managing crisis situations and a familiarity with diverse client populations will also enhance your application.

This position offers a competitive salary ranging from USD 90,000 to 100,000 per year, depending on experience and qualifications. In addition to financial compensation, we provide a comprehensive benefits package, which includes:
