We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Remote Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to join our Special Education Program's Mental Health Team. This full-time position allows you to make a significant impact on the lives of students with special needs, offering tailored mental health services and interventions in a telehealth setting. Our ideal candidate is passionate about supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and trauma-related challenges.

About the Organization

At Gotham Enterprises Ltd, we are committed to providing exceptional mental health care tailored to the unique needs of each student within our Special Education Program. Based in Grand Junction, Colorado, our organization emphasizes a collaborative and supportive approach, where a multidisciplinary team of professionals work together to foster an inclusive educational environment. Through telehealth, we ensure that students receive high-quality services regardless of their location, enabling success in both academic and personal growth.

Work Environment

This role is entirely remote, allowing flexibility in conducting assessments, therapy sessions, and consultations through telehealth platforms. You will embrace the challenges of working in a virtual setting while collaborating closely with educators and other specialists to deliver an integrated and responsive care experience. Our team operates within a structured schedule, primarily from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, although opportunities for occasional evening shifts and rotating weekends exist to accommodate student needs.

Key Responsibilities

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Conducting thorough mental health assessments to identify the diverse needs of students.
• Developing and implementing individualized treatment plans focused on enhancing emotional well-being and academic integration.
• Delivering evidence-based therapeutic interventions and strategies tailored to conditions such as ASD, ADHD, and trauma.
• Facilitating individual and group therapy sessions aimed at promoting personal development and coping skill acquisition.
• Collaborating with a team of professionals, including educators and therapists, to ensure comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of a student’s well-being.
• Providing crisis intervention and support during mental health emergencies, ensuring students feel safe and supported.
