Mental Health Counselor

Location: Concord, New Hampshire Supporting: New Hampshire National Guard Help strengthen the resilience of the people behind the mission. Military service places unique demands not only on Service Members, but also on spouses, children, and families. Deployments, reintegration, operational stress, family separation, career transitions, and the demands of balancing civilian and military life can place significant strain on individuals and households. LMR Technical Group is hiring a Mental Health Counselor to provide direct, evidence-based counseling to New Hampshire National Guard Service Members and their families.

You will provide direct counseling and therapeutic support to the military community, with particular emphasis on helping individuals and families who may otherwise have difficulty obtaining timely care.
