Compass Behavioral Group is looking for professionals seeking a comprehensive residency experience as they pursue Virginia State Licensure as an LPC. Ideal candidates are interested in providing high-quality community and office-based services to children, adolescents, and their families and have a desire to effect meaningful and long-lasting change through evidence-based practices and data-driven evaluation.

1. Conduct comprehensive psychosocial and diagnostic assessments for those seeking community-based services in collaboration with the supervising LPC.
