What is a multisystemic therapist?

A Multisystemic Therapist (MST) works with at-risk youth and their families using evidence-based therapy to address behavioral issues, improve family dynamics, and reduce criminal or harmful behaviors. MST therapists collaborate with schools, community organizations, and social services to create comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each family's needs. They provide in-home therapy, crisis intervention, and skill-building strategies to promote long-term change. The goal is to empower families and help youth develop positive coping mechanisms, improve decision-making, and stay out of the juvenile justice system.

What does a multisystemic therapist do?

A typical day for a Multisystemic Therapist involves a blend of in-home, school, and community-based sessions with clients and families, along with case documentation and team meetings. Much of your work takes place outside the office, as MST is designed to be outreach-focused and responsive to the real-life environments of youth and their families. Therapists regularly collaborate with schools, juvenile justice agencies, social services, and other support systems. This varied structure offers autonomy and the chance to see the direct impact of your interventions, but also requires strong organizational skills and adaptability to manage changing schedules and diverse settings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a multisystemic therapist?

To thrive as a Multisystemic Therapist, you need a solid background in clinical psychology, counseling, or social work, often supported by a relevant master’s degree and licensure. Familiarity with evidence-based interventions, Multisystemic Therapy (MST) protocols, and electronic case management systems is typically required. Strong interpersonal skills, cultural competence, flexibility, and crisis management abilities help professionals excel in this role. These competencies ensure effective intervention with at-risk youth and families, coordinate support across multiple systems, and achieve positive long-term outcomes.

Job description

This is a Community-Based Therapist job opportunity
Do you have a passion for working with children and families? We are looking for compassionate, dedicated people who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends. 
You will receive ongoing training in the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model as you work with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement MST as designed. Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST. MST therapists do whatever it takes, via close collaboration with all involved, to address the needs of juveniles with criminal offenses, including, in some cases, substance abuse. You will empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and to help youth aged 12 - 17 make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support, to name a few. For more information on Multisystemic Therapy, please watch this video: How Does MST Work? 
Duties & Responsibilities

  • Provide direct clinical treatment using the MST treatment model and principles. Some principles include leveraging strengths and focusing on the positive, understanding sequences of behavior, and increasing mature behavior.
  • Conduct a thorough assessment of the client and family: gather information on behaviors of concern and strengths in the family and their ecology to inform conceptualization of the problem behaviors and interactions within the family’s ecological context. 
  • Comfort working with a diverse community of clients.
  • Knowledge of the types of families in the community
  • Continuously work to engage the primary caregiver, family members, supports, and community agency staff (school, probation, child welfare) in change-oriented treatment. 
  • Dedicate time to weekly case planning and evaluation of case progress, with ongoing support from your supervisor and team members.
  • Receive regular training, professional development, supervision, and consultation activities designed to help you acquire extensive clinical skills within the MST treatment model. 
  • Assure, along with fellow clinicians, that clients have access to 24 hours/day, 7 days/week support as needed. 

Qualifications
  • Must possess a valid driver’s license and have reliable transportation to travel to clients’ homes and possibly transport multiple clients at once. 

Licensing Requirements 
  • Master’s Degree in clinical or counseling Psychology, Social Work, or a related subject area. 
  • Professional licensure as LPC-Associate, LMFT-Associate, or LMSW under clinical supervision required, full licensure as an LPC, LMFT, LCSW preferred.

Preferred Experience
  • Direct use of pragmatic (i.e., structural, strategic, and functional) family therapies 
  • Therapy with children and adults using cognitive-behavioral techniques. 
  • Couples therapy using behaviorally based approaches. 
  • Implementation of interventions within or between systems in the youth’s natural ecology (i.e., family, peer, school, and neighborhood) 
  • Collaboration and partnership with community agencies 
  • Previous work providing in-home or community-based therapy services. 

Candidates MUST be willing and able to:
  • Live locally, within 1 hour of the noted territory. 
  • Provide therapy inside the family home as a regular part of the position.
  • Maintain a flexible, non-traditional schedule, including evenings and weekends as needed, based on the availability of the youth and family.
  • Regularly travel throughout the full identified service territory to meet with families and provide services where needed.
