Equine Therapy - Licensed Therapist

Southeastern Integrated Care LLC

Pembroke, NC • On-site

Full-time

Posted 10 days ago

Job description

What if therapy didn’t happen across a desk… but beside a horse?
You’ve seen the limits of traditional therapy.
You know that sometimes, progress doesn’t come from words alone.
Sometimes it comes from the connection.
From presence.
From experiences that help clients feel safe enough to open up.
If you’re a licensed clinician who believes in innovative, experiential approaches to healing—this is your opportunity to lead that work.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking an experienced Licensed Therapist to step into a role within our Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy program.
In this role, you won’t just provide therapy—you’ll help shape a program that integrates clinical expertise with equine-assisted methods to create meaningful, lasting change.
You’ll work alongside an Equine Specialist, co-facilitating sessions using structured models while ensuring each interaction has clear clinical purpose and impact .
What You’ll Do (The Impact You’ll Make)
Clinical Leadership & Therapy
  • Provide individual therapy and clinical interventions for clients with MH/SA needs
  • Conduct assessments, develop treatment plans, and guide ongoing care
  • Integrate equine-assisted psychotherapy into clinical sessions
  • Deliver psychoeducation and support for clients and families
Program & Care Coordination
  • Lead and oversee Person-Centered Plans (PCPs) and service delivery
  • Coordinate care, referrals, and transitions across service levels
  • Monitor outcomes and ensure services are effective and compliant
  • Participate in on-call response and crisis coordination
Collaboration & Program Development
  • Partner with Equine Specialists to co-facilitate therapeutic sessions
  • Contribute to the growth and development of the equine therapy program
  • Work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure continuity of care
  • Maintain timely documentation and compliance with Medicaid/state standards
Who This Role Is For
This role is designed for clinicians who:
  • Are passionate about animal-assisted and experiential therapies
  • Want to move beyond traditional settings into more dynamic, relationship-based work
  • Are confident in their clinical judgment and ready to take on greater leadership responsibility
  • Value collaboration, innovation, and meaningful client outcomes
Qualifications
  • Master’s degree in a Human Services-related field
  • Active or provisional NC license (LCSW, LCMHC, LMFT, LPA, etc.)
  • Minimum 1 year post-graduate clinical experience with MH/SA populations
  • Interest in or experience with equine-assisted therapy (training provided if needed)
  • Strong clinical, documentation, and communication skills
Work Environment
This isn’t a traditional office setting.
You’ll be working:
  • Outdoors and in a barn environment
  • Alongside horses and in varying weather conditions
  • In a setting that requires flexibility, movement, and presence
If you’re looking for a desk job—this isn’t it.
If you’re looking for impact—this is.
Why This Role Matters
The clients you’ll serve don’t always respond to conventional therapy.
But in the right environment—with the right support—change becomes possible.
This role allows you to:
  • Practice therapy in a more engaging and impactful way
  • Be part of a growing, innovative program
  • Help clients build trust, regulation, and resilience in new ways
Ready to Do Work That Feels Different?
If you’re ready to bring your clinical skills into a setting that challenges and inspires you—we encourage you to apply.
