Clinician (LMHP)

Rehabilitation Support Services, Inc. is seeking a licensed clinician for our new CTTP program (which will start as CTI – Critical Time Intervention prior to the Residence being opened). This program works with youth who are in the Emergency Department or awaiting Hospital discharge, and for a multitude of reasons are unable to return home. This team is tasked with bridging and linking appropriate services for safe transition to the community. This program serves up to 16 youth at a time (Once the residence is open – 8 youth would be part of the transitional residence). The clinician would be familiar with all 16 cases and work interchangeably as part of the team. This team works with youth/families throughout the Mid-Hudson Development Region which spans over 6 counties: Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Westchester. This is a mobile position – meaning that while there may be an office day throughout the week/paperwork/collateral contacts, however significant amount of time is spent in a variety of communities at EDs, Hospitals, with families in their homes, and linking services

**It should be noted that while a youth is from one of these 6 counties – there is potential for travel outside of this region if a youth is hospitalized or in an ED in another region or location

The program will have agency vehicles and those vehicles will be provided on a daily basis (or throughout the day) to the team member(s) who are traveling the furthest distance. There may be times when a personal car would need to be utilized and mileage would be submitted.

Working with youth and families in the community setting is an incredible experience that provides many rewarding interactions and the opportunity to foster positive growth and change in the lives of others.

Qualifications:

The position will be a full-time licensed mental health professional (LMHP) licensed by the New York State Education Department and operate within the practitioner’s scope of practice as defined in NYS law. These will include, but are not limited to: Licensed Psychologists, Licensed Clinical/Masters Social Workers, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Mental Health Counselors, or Licensed Creative Arts Therapist.

This position will require a minimum of 2-3 years of experience in a Clinical supervisory role working with children, youth, and families.

The Clinician’s primary role will be providing behavioral health/clinical services on an individual and family basis to youth and families. Youth will be seen in-person at least one time per week by the clinician and have another session with the family together.

There may be times when in-person and remote sessions (additional) are provided. The clinicians guide the behavioral health component of treatment within this program (bridging and linking services) while providing care. The CTI (CTTP) team works seamlessly together and at times roles may overlap. There could be situations where a clinician is providing case management in the moment or another related service. There are multiple team meetings (daily board) throughout the week to ensure the team is all on the same page with each youth/family.
