• Participate in monthly team meetings, providing feedback and recommendations based on therapy outcomes and shared practices.

Your primary focus will be on children ages 3-20 who face various developmental and intellectual disabilities. This includes, but is not limited to, children exhibiting special needs, behavioral challenges, and family dynamics requiring intervention. You will play an essential role in enhancing their quality of life and helping families navigate complex challenges, thereby directly contributing to improved patient outcomes.

• A Master’s degree in Counseling, Family Therapy, Social Work, or a closely related field is required.
