UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES.

The Root Therapy is looking to irradicate the stigmas surrounding people of color going to therapy. Statistics show that black and brown people are 20 percent more likely to have psychological distress than whites, as well as suicide, being the 3rd most leading cause of death among African American males from ages 15-24. The Root Therapy is not only looking to change the status quo but to offer mental health counseling to get to the “root cause” of everything going on. As long as a person is in survival mode, there is no possible way to thrive. The Root Therapy aims to change the person's mode from surviving to thriving.

​

The Root Therapy is looking for full-time contracted position offering flexibility, including making your own schedule and competitive pay. We provide access to an office, office supplies, training, supervision if needed, access to our EMR, paperwork, and advertising costs for referrals. We also handle all things related to eligibility and billing. This position can be telehealth, face-to-face, or a combination of both. We have space available for in-person sessions at The Ross Community Center on the Far Eastside of town.

The successful candidate will have the following qualifications:

• Master’s degree in social work, counseling, psychology, marriage and family therapy, or any other degree that can be clinically licensed

• Commitment to building genuine relationships with youth, families, and other community members 

• Minimum of 1-2 years experience providing therapy and/or behavior management services in an office or community-based setting

• Licensed, working towards licensure or license eligible

• Experience completing intake assessments, diagnosing, preparing treatment plans, writing clinical notes

• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written

• Excellent organization and time management skills

• The ability to work both independently as a part of a multidisciplinary team

• Availability to meet with clients during the day as well as in the afternoon/evening. 

​

We offer a laid back, unique company culture that places a high value on individual strengths and the importance of working on a team. We promote professional growth and offer clinical supervision for those interested in obtaining clinical licensure as an LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT. We have some exciting things happening on our team in the next 3 to 6 months, and we are looking for the right person to join us and help us bring our vision of helping more people to fruition. If that aligns with your personal and professional goals, we would love to have you join our team.
