Outpatient Therapist

Description

At Christian Family Solutions, we are committed to healing and helping people in need with the same excellence and unconditional love that Jesus Christ demonstrated in His ministry. It is our goal to help clients feel welcomed, safe, and supported within our family of care. When someone is called to a career with a strong sense of purpose, it’s more than a job. It’s a vocation.

What you will be doing

We are seeking a compassionate, Christian therapist to join our Appleton, WI clinic and provide evidence-based outpatient mental health counseling services with a primary clinical focus on serving adults, while also being open to working with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and families as appropriate. This position will start as a part-time role while you build your client caseload and have the potential to turn into a full-time role with consistent volume and demonstrated ability to meet billable encounter expectations. Our clinical counseling services are rooted in evidence-based practices with a distinctly Christian approach.

Many of our clients choose CFS because they desire to have their care guided by principles and values of the Christian faith. Our approach embraces the two main aspects of the Bible’s teachings: God’s Law (His guide for living) and His Gospel (His forgiveness and grace when we and others fail to live according to the guidance He provides). As a therapist with Christian Family Solutions, you will meet clients where they are in terms of their faith. Any application of faith principles is done with the appropriate sensitivity and cultural competence that meets or exceeds the standards of our profession as outlined in the American Psychological Association’s ethical code. We provide excellent and compassionate care to all clients, regardless of socioeconomic background or faith affiliation.

You will receive guidance, support, and training on evidence-based care along with Christian integration techniques so that you can appropriately align the counseling experience with the principles of the Christian faith. You will work in a unique environment where both your professional skills and your faith can grow.

Why work for Christian Family Solutions?

Joining our team means more than just a career – it’s a vocation driven by a profound sense of purpose. We prioritize the professional development of our staff, providing ample opportunities for both professional and spiritual growth. To deliver our unique approach, training opportunities are built into our benefits package. That said, our employees regularly tell us that their reasons for working at CFS extend far beyond compensation and benefits. It’s about a calling to serve others in their time of great need. If you are motivated to assist clients in a comfortable, supportive, and Christ-centered atmosphere with a strong Christian Mission and Core Values, we want you to be a part of our team!
