• Bonus based on performance

About the Role:

Join Poppy's Therapeutic Corner, LLC as a School-Based Therapist. While we proudly serve families across all of Ohio, we're currently focused on growing our team in the Greater Cincinnati area. In this rewarding, W-2 position, you'll bring mental health support directly to students where they spend their days, providing individual and group therapy within the school setting. It's meaningful, relationship-centered work with a predictable schedule and a supportive team behind you, and the supervision and mentorship to help you grow at any stage of your career.

Responsibilities:

• Provide individual and group therapy to students during the school day.
• Build supportive relationships with students, families, teachers, and school staff.
• Develop and implement individualized treatment plans tailored to each student's needs.
• Maintain a caseload consistent with program expectations (approximately 25 sessions per week).
• Complete accurate, timely clinical documentation.
• Collaborate with school personnel and your clinical team to coordinate care.
• Provide crisis intervention and support as needed.
• Maintain compliance with all regulatory, ethical, and confidentiality guidelines.

Requirements:

• Active Ohio behavioral health license (LSW, LISW, LPC, LPCC, MFT, IMFT), or current graduate-level intern status in a social work, counseling, or marriage and family therapy program.
• Master's degree (or in progress) in social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, or a related field.
• Experience or strong interest in providing therapy to children and adolescents (school-based experience a plus).
• Excellent communication, organizational, and documentation skills.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team.
• A compassionate, student-centered approach and genuine commitment to youth wellbeing.
• Based in or able to serve the Greater Cincinnati area.

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay plus monthly bonus opportunities.
• W-2 employment (not a contractor position).
• A 10-month, school-based schedule with evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks free from sessions.
• Clinical supervision toward independent licensure for dependently licensed clinicians and interns.
• Free CEUs to support your ongoing growth.
• Mentorship, consultation groups, and a supportive team culture through our Poppy's Squad initiative.
• A ready-made, on-site caseload — less time recruiting clients, more time helping students.

About Us:

Poppy's Therapeutic Corner, LLC provides exceptional, personalized therapeutic services tailored to each individual's needs for families across Ohio. Our clients value our caring, individualized approach, and our team members appreciate a supportive environment that fosters growth, flexibility, and collaboration.
