Critical Incident Response Counselors

Empathia is currently looking for qualified professionals with a Master's in a behavioral health field, including counselors, social workers, and psychologists, to deliver Critical Incident Response services, on an as needed basis. Services are provided on-site at our client organizations or delivered remotely. There are no minimum hourly requirements, and you select which incidents you’d like to respond to based on your availability. Compensation starts at $100/hour and may increase based on experience, with travel reimbursement per commitment.

The Critical Incident Response role provides support to those affected by a critical incident, such as an accidental death, terminal illness, active assailant incident, natural disaster, or transportation accident, and can include facilitating individual and group debriefings, 1:1 psychological first aid and leadership consultation to normalize reactions and emphasize resiliency.

The professional counselors we seek will have:

• Master’s degree in a behavioral health field
• State licensure and/or required certifications
• 5 years of post-master’s experience

If you are new to this type of work, we will provide specialty training to help you be successful in the work you do. In addition, once you are a contracted provider we offer quarterly, live, best practice virtual trainings in the critical incident response space. The training provides ongoing skill-based expansion including breakout sessions and is a great way to connect and network with other responders in the field.
