Under the clinical supervision of the Director of Youth and Young Adult Services, the Youth and Young Adult Mental Health Clinician (Clinician) conducts professional mental health assessments and provides CAPIT services (child abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment), including individual and/or group/family counseling, psychotherapeutic services, crisis management, and other related services and activities for clients and their family members. This role involves working in field-based settings and engaging with high-risk, marginalized, or otherwise vulnerable populations (e.g., foster care, homeless, sexually exploited, pregnant and parenting youth, transition-age youth, LGBTQ+ youth, etc.) and individuals in crisis.
Direct Services:
Participate in the intake process to gather information on clients’ (i.e., family, social, employment, medical, and mental health treatment) histories. Conduct client interviews and diagnostic assessments to develop personalized treatment and recovery plans.
Develop urgent crisis care plans to resolve and help clients cope with acute mental or emotional problems, which may include referral to another treatment source, such as a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a rehabilitation counselor, or another agency.
Plan and conduct the client's therapy program under the guidance of supervisory staff to address presenting problems identified through the assessment process, considering the client's treatment goal and the length and modality of therapy.
Provide crisis intervention, mental health treatment (i.e., one-on-one counseling and/or group/family counseling, as applicable), and other related mental health care services to clients (and their family members as appropriate).
Utilize evidence-based treatment modalities that are consistent with program goals and that best fit with clients' age and treatment needs (e.g., motivational interviewing, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, etc.).
Participate in a multi-disciplinary team to review client cases, treatment approaches, clinical issues, client progress, and treatment recommendations.
Coordinate supportive services by linking clients to community resources as needed to maximize client self-sufficiency and well-being.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date documentation in accordance with agency policies, licensing and regulatory standards, and COA accreditation requirements.
Evening and weekend work required.
