What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mental Health Therapist position at Wonder: A Confident Living Company?
Wonder is seeking a mental health therapist to provide home and community-based treatment centered on a holistic and integrative family systems approach. This is a part-time contract role.
Who we are:
Wonder was created with the intent to provide therapeutic support services for pre-teens, adolescents, young adults and their families by combining individual and parent coaching with family therapy. Research shows that engaging teens and young adults in their own environment allows for faster, more authentic and longer therapeutic connection. Therefore, our mental health therapists meet clients in the community rather than in an office. Our aspiration is to ensure sustainable change for a lifetime.
