What are the responsibilities and job description for the Innovative Child and Adolescent Therapist (LPC, LCSW, LMFT) - Flower Mound position at Bricolage Behavioral Health?
Overview
Are you looking for a different way to impact the lives of children and adolescents struggling with mental health and addiction issues, something more than simply sitting in a group room and talking?
At Bricolage Behavioral, we approach treatment differently. We know that children and teens need tools and skills to build the resilience, grit, self-confidence, collaborative communication, and emotional regulation necessary to find lasting recovery from their mental health challenges.
Simply talking about problems is like talking about riding a bike. We don't just talk to our kiddos, we teach them how to ride. Our experiential and skills-based approach to therapy is not provided anywhere else in the DFW area. Since our methods are not used elsewhere, we provide ongoing training to all therapists on our team to help them impact the lives of our kiddos in the most effective way possible.
We know that mental health issues are not primarily rooted in "chemical imbalances" in the brain or genetics, but are the product of lived experience that has created unproductive thought and behavior patterns, thought and behavior patterns that can be changed. The foundations of our model are rooted in the neuroscience of predictive processing and Hebbian learning. All of our kiddos have the ability to become the best version of themselves, but they just need some expert guidance to get them there.
We also involve families and offer regular family sessions since mental health issues are never the product of the individual alone, but occur within a familial, social, and cultural context that also must be addressed for long-lasting healing.
If you're ready to approach treatment in a new, innovative, evidence-based way that goes above and beyond what the vast majority of programs across the country are doing, we'd like to hear from you.
