What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Multisystemic Therapist position, and why are they important?

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.

What is a Multisystemic Therapist job?

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 typical day look like for a Multisystemic Therapist, and how much time is spent working in the community versus the office?

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.

Job description

We are currently seeking a Full-Time Multisystemic Therapist to join our Multisystemic Therapy Program in Tompkins County.
Our employees have passion around the services they provide and our corporate values of excellence and staff support. We pride ourselves on high quality, integrated, community-based services that meet the evolving needs of our communities. We're committed to building a diverse workforce that values contributions of all team members and work to recognize cultural beliefs, values, traditions, language preferences, and health practices of the communities that we serve and how they apply to provision of positive health outcomes.
Make a Real Difference-Join Our Team of Changemakers!
Are you someone who thrives on solving problems, connecting with people, and creating real change? Liberty Resources, Inc. is on the lookout for passionate and driven individuals to join us as Multisystemic Therapy (MST) Clinicians! If you want a meaningful career that's hands-on, flexible, and never boring, this is your chance. You'll be working with families of teens (ages 12-17) to tackle tough challenges and create positive outcomes.
As part of our MST team, you'll receive comprehensive training in an evidence-based model and work closely with families, schools, and service providers to implement solutions that foster:
  • Improved school attendance and performance
  • Stronger family relationships
  • Positive social connections
  • Reduced high-risk behaviors, such as running away, aggression, stealing, and substance use

Why You'll Love Being an MST Therapist at Liberty Resources:
Exceptional Training & Support
  • Receive hands-on training and ongoing supervision from day one, built into the MST model.
  • Join a supportive team dedicated to helping you grow professionally and personally.
  • Flexibility & Autonomy
  • Enjoy a hybrid schedule: work from home when not in meetings or sessions with clients.
  • A non-traditional schedule allows more opportunities for work-life balance.

Home-Based & Family-Centered Approach
  • Sessions are held in the families' homes-no need for clients to worry about transportation or child care.
  • Sessions are offered in the evening and on weekends as needed, giving families the flexibility they need.
  • The team works together to provide 24/7 phone support to clients as they work daily to change their dynamics
  • Work directly within the family's environment, building stronger engagement and better outcomes.
  • MST recognizes that families have many strengths they can leverage to solve their own problems and that they can achieve change quickly

Manageable Caseload & Focused Care
  • Serve only 4-6 families at a time, so you can focus on making a real impact without feeling overwhelmed.
  • No Medicaid restrictions-our treatment and documentation is driven by client needs, not insurance guidelines.

Dynamic Work Experience
  • From using cognitive behavioral therapy to family systems theory, you'll get to use a wide range of clinical skills.
  • Partner with schools, probation officers, and other community members to create holistic solutions for families.

Positive & Inclusive Work Culture
  • Join a team that values diversity, equity, and inclusion while believing in the potential of every family.
  • Our short treatment window (3-5 months) helps you see fast, tangible results-and prevents burnout.

What You'll Need
  • A bachelor's degree in a mental health field.
  • At least 2 years of experience working with families (community-based work preferred).
  • A valid New York driver's license and reliable transportation.

Perks & Benefits:
  • Loan Forgiveness Eligibility - We're a 501(c) nonprofit, so you could qualify for student loan forgiveness.
  • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) - PTO starts after 90 days, and sick time accrues from your first month. Enjoy paid holidays from day one, including two floating holidays.
  • Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
  • Not sitting in an office all day - work remotely when not in meetings/sessions
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan - with company match!
  • No commuting costs - get paid mileage from your home
  • Clinical Supervision - Receive supervision to help you work toward licensure. Limited permits welcome!

Starting Rate:$53,500 annual
