Mental Health Clinician

Are you someone who thrives on connecting with people, taking on tough challenges, and creating real change? Liberty Resources, Inc.

is searching for a dedicated Mental Health Clinician to collaborate with both the Tompkins County Department of Social Services and the Tompkins County Family Treatment Court to provide comprehensive support and services.

 

Family Treatment Court aims to improve the health, safety, and stability of children whose parents are navigating the complex challenges of substance use.

By supporting parents on their recovery journey and enhancing their parenting skills, we work toward building healthier families.

As the clinician, you’ll be at the heart of this effort—providing essential guidance on trauma-informed care and best practices to engage and support participants.

The Department of Social Services will have access to the clinician, referring children involved in their services for assessments and/or brief interventions.

Pay: $57,000

 

What You’ll Do

As the Mental Health Clinician, you will:


* Conduct psychosocial assessments to understand client needs and guide treatment.


* Provide brief, solution-focused therapy to a small, rotating caseload of participants.

What makes this position stand out?

Psychosocial assessments highlights client-voice and brief intervention allows a clinician to meet people where-they-are-at when more traditional services aren’t the right fit.
