Position Overview:
This role provides outpatient mental health therapy across one or more clinic locations depending on program needs. Clinicians will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to deliver individualized, evidence-based care.
Clinicians may be assigned across clinic locations based on caseload availability and service demand, which may include split-site scheduling.
What This Role Offers:
- Flexible, part-time schedule.
- Pay-per-client structure.
- Opportunity to work across multiple clinic locations.
- Afternoon and after-school availability preferred.
- Opportunities for increased hours as caseloads expand.
- Pathway to full-time salaried positions with benefits as the program grows.
Responsibilities:
- Provide individual and family therapy to children and adolescents.
- Develop and implement treatment plans.
- Complete timely clinical documentation.
- Collaborate with care coordination and clinical teams.
- Participate in case consultation and team communication.
- Support continuity of care across settings.
Minimum Qualifications:
Licensed Therapists:
- Active Oregon licensure (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or equivalent).
- Master’s degree in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, or related field.
All Candidates:
- Experience working with children, adolescents, or neurodivergent populations preferred.
- Strong clinical, communication, and collaboration skills.
- Ability to work independently and within a team-based care model.
- Conducting biopsychosocial and DSM-5-TR diagnostic assessments, including differential diagnosis.
- Working with children, adolescents, neurodivergent clients, and their parents or caregivers.
- Developing strengths-based individual and family treatment plans with SMART goals and measurable outcomes.
- Writing timely progress notes that connect the assessment, diagnosis, treatment goals, interventions, client response, and ongoing medical necessity through the Golden Thread.
- Providing and documenting case management and interdisciplinary care coordination.
- Completing discharge or termination summaries with a clear clinical rationale and recommendations for continued care.
Growth Opportunity:
This position is designed to grow with program demand. As caseloads and service needs expand, there is potential to increase hours and transition into full-time salaried positions with benefits, based on organizational needs, staffing capacity, and available openings.
Why This Role?
We are expanding access to high-quality outpatient mental health services through strong community partnerships and growing referral pathways. This role offers flexibility, clinical support, and the opportunity to grow with a developing program.
