Complete and Wellness Mind Care P.C. is seeking a dynamic and compassionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) to join our remote team. This full-time position is pivotal in providing in-community therapeutic services, specifically tailored to support children with developmental disabilities and their families. As a vital member of our therapeutic team, you will have the opportunity to make a substantial impact on the lives of children and their caregivers while working within a flexible, remote setting.

Complete and Wellness Mind Care P.C. is dedicated to enhancing the mental and emotional well-being of children and families by providing comprehensive support services. Our organization prides itself on fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment where diverse clinical approaches are embraced. We emphasize the importance of bilingual services, and we are particularly looking for professionals who are fluent in Spanish or Portuguese to better serve our client base in Laredo, Texas, and beyond.

This role offers an entirely remote work setting, allowing you to conduct in-home therapy sessions via telehealth methods as well as engage in outpatient center therapy, when needed. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team dedicated to improving outcomes for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our community health clinic offers an environment that supports flexible scheduling to accommodate evening and weekend availability.

Your day-to-day duties will involve:

• Providing individualized in-home therapy sessions or group therapy at our outpatient center, ensuring a safe space for expression and growth.
• Implementing therapeutic techniques such as anger management strategies, social skills training, and coping mechanisms designed to reduce high-risk behaviors, including self-injurious behaviors and physical aggression.
• Working in partnership with caregivers to enhance decision-making skills and develop effective strategies for managing behavioral challenges at home.
• Collaborating closely with the Child Family Treatment Team and other professionals to create holistic care plans that address each child's unique needs.
• Maintaining thorough documentation, including timely submission of intake forms, treatment plans, and progress notes, to track client progress accurately.
• Participating in monthly team meetings to discuss client care strategies and to relay recommended adjustments based on observations and data.

You will primarily serve a diverse population of children aged 3 to 20 years, many of whom face intellectual and developmental disabilities. Your skills will help navigate their unique challenges and support their social and emotional development. By assisting families directly in their homes, you will cultivate a personalized connection that underscores the importance of tailored care.

To be considered for this position, you must meet the following criteria:

• Possess a Master’s degree in Counseling, Family Therapy, or a related mental health field.
• Hold an active and unrestricted LMFT license.
• Be available for a minimum of 5-10 hours per week during after-school hours (4-7 pm), with additional weekend availability preferred.
• Have experience providing positive behavior support.
• Possess a valid driver's license and a registered vehicle for transportation needs.
• Pass a comprehensive criminal background check, including fingerprinting.

While the above qualifications are essential, the following experiences are highly valued:

• Prior experience working directly with children who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.
• Bilingual proficiency in Spanish or Portuguese to effectively communicate with a diverse clientele.
• Experience in using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that cater to the developmental risks specific to children.

This position offers a competitive salary ranging from $60,000 to $80,000 per year, commensurate with experience and qualifications. Additional benefits include:

• A dynamic and supportive work environment that values professional integrity and growth.
• Group health coverage to ensure your well-being while you care for others.
• Annual paid time off to promote work-life balance.
• Short and long-term disability insurance for peace of mind.
• 401(k) retirement plan to help secure your future.

At Complete and Wellness Mind Care P.C., we believe in the potential of our staff and offer ongoing training and professional development opportunities. You will have access to workshops, webinars, and certifications to enhance your therapeutic skills and maintain your license actively.
