About the Program and Position:

OLP Clinician: Cayuga Centers is looking for a Clinician who is passionate about strengths-based, youth-and family-centered work. As a member of our innovative Children and Family Treatment and Support Services team you will provide therapy, counseling and coaching services that are designed to offer goal-directed support and solution-focused interventions to address challenges associated with behavioral health needs through the Other Licensed Professional (OLP) function within CFTSS. OLP Clinicians provide clinical services to children and families in the home and/or community to help achieve stability and improvement in daily living and family and interpersonal relationships in school and community integration. This program provides ample opportunities to expand your application and experience of assessment, evaluation, and evidence based practice while supporting program growth within the agency and community.

FFT Therapist: Our Functional Family Therapy (FFT-TCM) program serves youth ages 0-21 and their families. This evidence-based, family-focused therapy operates on the belief that all families have strengths and are doing the best they can at any point. With FFT, the entire family unit works together to prevent out-of-home placement, intervene on behalf of family rebuilding, and unify the family unit. Families work together through three FFT phases of engagement motivation, behavior change, and generalization with our licensed clinicians over 12-16 weeks.
