• Experience or specialization in family therapy, trauma-informed care, or substance use counseling is highly advantageous.
• Proficiency with EMR systems and technology for telehealth services to streamline client interactions and documentation processes.
• Demonstrated ability to create personalized treatment plans while being culturally sensitive to clients' unique backgrounds and experiences.

• Attractive salary range of USD 70,000 to 90,000 annually, adjusted based on professional experience and caseload.
