About the Organization\n

Great Lakes Psychotherapy Services is an innovative outpatient mental health clinic located in Camas, Washington. We are committed to providing high-quality, accessible mental health services to individuals across all age groups.

As an LCSW at Great Lakes Psychotherapy Services, you will:

\n

\n
• Conduct thorough psychosocial assessments to evaluate clients' mental health concerns and strengths, focusing on their needs within hospice care.
\n
• Deliver individual and family therapy, employing evidence-based treatment modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy tailored to end-of-life issues.
