This full-time remote position offers the opportunity to provide effective in-community therapy for our diverse range of clients, specifically focused on children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and intellectual challenges. We invite bilingual therapists fluent in Spanish or Portuguese to apply and bring their language skills to assist our clients effectively.

Our team relies on a robust digital infrastructure to facilitate communication and collaboration, ensuring that you remain engaged and supported. Utilizing various telehealth platforms, you will provide therapy sessions, conduct meetings, and collaborate effectively with other professionals in an engaging and interactive environment.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will be dynamic and impactful, including:

• Conducting individual in-home treatment sessions or group therapy sessions, tailoring approaches to meet each client's unique needs.

• Collaborating with the Child and Family Treatment Team and other interdisciplinary specialists to ensure comprehensive support for the youth and family.
• Completing and submitting all relevant documentation—including intake assessments, treatment plans, and progress notes—within specified timelines to maintain compliance and continuity of care.
• Participating in regular team meetings, sharing insights, and contributing to case discussions to improve therapeutic strategies.

You will primarily work with children and adolescents aged 3-20, many of whom have developmental and intellectual disabilities (I/DD). Your role will focus on providing compassionate, individualized therapy that not only addresses behavioral challenges but also strengthens family dynamics and improves quality of life. By engaging with diverse families, you will learn to navigate different cultural contexts and educational needs.

• A Master’s degree in Counseling, Family Therapy, or a related field from an accredited institution.
• An active and unrestricted LMFT license in the state of Illinois.
• A commitment to a minimum of 5-10 hours of availability each week during after-school hours (4-7 PM) with flexibility for weekends being preferred.

• Having prior experience in positive behavior support strategies, particularly in developmental or educational settings.
• Experience working with children aged 3-20 and those with intellectual or developmental disabilities is strongly preferred.
• A valid driver's license and access to a registered vehicle for travel to in-home sessions.
• A willingness to undergo a criminal background check, including fingerprinting, to ensure safety and compliance with health regulations.

We offer a competitive salary range of USD 80,000 to 100,000 per year, commensurate with experience and qualifications.

• Comprehensive group health coverage, ensuring you and your family have access to quality care.
• Annual paid time off, allowing you to recharge and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
• Short and long-term disability insurance for added peace of mind.
• A robust 401(k) plan, helping you prepare for your future.
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities to enhance your skills and career trajectory.
