The Position

The Licensed Therapist Contractor position is a clinical role performed by a fully licensed mental health professional who provides professional therapeutic services to individuals, couples, families, and/or groups and involves the application of mental health, psychotherapeutic, and human development principles to facilitate adjustment and development throughout the lifespan.
