At Synergy Counseling, we pride ourselves on empowering marginalized communities, giving them the tools and support they need to thrive. Our mission is to recognize and cultivate the unique potential in everyone we engage with—children, families, partners, and our team members. We believe in diversity, equity, and inclusion, and strive to create a work environment where every employee feels valued and can fully express their authentic selves. Our commitment to this mission is reflected in our approach to children's services, particularly for the youngest among us.

Our team uses innovative practices and cutting-edge methodologies to ensure effective early intervention services are delivered.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Synergy Counseling, your primary responsibilities will include:

• Developing comprehensive treatment plans that reflect evidence-based practices and are sensitive to the family's cultural context and priorities.

This role emphasizes support for very young children—specifically babies and toddlers—who experience developmental delays or disabilities. Our aim is to facilitate their growth in physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and communication skills during these critical early years. You will work closely with not only the children but also their families, advocating for their needs and guiding them through challenges as they navigate early intervention services.

• Bilingual skills to better serve our diverse client base are highly encouraged.
• Strong organizational skills to manage multiple cases efficiently.
• Demonstrated proficiency in communication, ensuring clarity in collaboration with families and team members.
