Make a Real Difference Every Single Day

A rapidly growing nonprofit in the Bay Area is expanding its clinical team and seeking a Licensed Clinician to provide direct trauma-informed care in a 6-bed Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) serving youth with complex trauma histories - including violence, exploitation, and family instability.

This is not a desk job . You’ll be embedded directly in the residential program, working hands-on with youth, families, and a multidisciplinary team to deliver stabilization, healing, and long-term success. If you’re a licensed clinician who wants meaningful, mission-driven work with youth who need you most, this role lets you see the impact of your clinical skills every day.

The Role: As the primary clinical provider for the STRTP, you will carry a focused caseload of approximately six youth while supporting the broader clinical needs of the program. You’ll deliver high-quality therapy, lead assessments, coordinate care, and ensure documentation meets Medi-Cal standards—all while collaborating closely with residential staff, schools, and community partners.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide individual, group, and family therapy to youth in the residential program

• Conduct clinical assessments, develop trauma-informed treatment plans, and complete CANS evaluations

• Coordinate care with social workers, facility staff, schools, and external providers

• Support crisis intervention and stabilization as needed

• Maintain timely, high-quality clinical documentation and Medi-Cal compliant records

• Participate actively in multidisciplinary team meetings

• Contribute to extended-stay or step-down planning

What We’re Looking For Required

• Active California clinical license (LCSW, LMFT, LPCC, or Licensed Psychologist)

• Experience providing therapy, preferably to youth or adolescents

• Trauma-informed care expertise

• Strong assessment, treatment planning, and documentation skills

• Comfort working in an in-person residential setting

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with foster youth, high-risk youth, or commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC)

• Familiarity with Medi-Cal documentation and clinical compliance

• Experience with the CANS assessment tool

• Background in residential or community-based behavioral health programs

Nice to Have

• Bilingual Spanish

• Experience discussing substance use or harm reduction with youth

Why Clinicians Love This Role

• Direct, meaningful impact on youth who have survived significant trauma

• Part of a growing, mission-driven organization that’s expanding services

• Work alongside a committed multidisciplinary team in a supportive culture

• Generous benefits designed for sustainability and well-being (see below)

Compensation & Benefits Salary : $115,000-$120,000 (commensurate with experience)

Full benefits package includes :

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage

• 403(b) retirement plan with employer match

• Generous PTO plus restorative leave (designed to support clinician wellness)

• Mission-driven culture focused on healing, collaboration, and impact
