About the Organization\n

At Kindred Connections Society, our mission is to provide compassionate and comprehensive hospice care across California. Our team of clinicians is committed to delivering evidence-based therapeutic services through a lens of cultural humility, trauma-informed practices, and a strong emphasis on relational connection. We understand that facing terminal illness can be incredibly challenging, and we make it our priority to foster an environment that nurtures the mental well-being of both clients and their families.

Work Environment\n

This role is entirely remote, allowing you the flexibility to work from the comfort of your own home while still contributing significantly to the care of clients receiving hospice services. Utilizing telehealth platforms, you will deliver therapy that meets their unique needs, whether they are coping with grief, navigating life transitions, or seeking support for mood disorders. This supportive work environment fosters both collaboration and independence, enabling you to thrive professionally.

Key Responsibilities\n

\n
• Provide psychotherapy sessions to clients, including individuals, couples, families, or groups, using telehealth methods or, when applicable, in-person interactions.
\n
• Conduct thorough psychosocial assessments and collaborate with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that address their specific needs and challenges.
\n
• Regularly document client interactions and treatment progress in compliance with HIPAA regulations and organizational policies through our electronic health record (EHR) system.
\n
• Engage with multidisciplinary teams, facilitating communication and collaboration with other healthcare providers and external resources to ensure holistic client support.
\n
• Participate in optional team meetings and peer consultation opportunities to share insights and enhance your professional development.
\n
• Uphold the highest ethical and legal standards as outlined by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS).
\n

Patient Population / Client Focus\n

Your work will primarily focus on clients and families undergoing hospice care—individuals facing terminal illnesses who require support not only for their medical needs but also for their emotional and psychological challenges. You will connect deeply with clients, helping them navigate the complexities of grief, end-of-life decisions, and family dynamics. This specialized environment demands sensitivity, cultural competence, and a commitment to improving clients' quality of life through every interaction.

Qualifications\n

\n
• Possess a valid and active LCSW license in the state of California, demonstrating your commitment to professional standards and ethics.
\n
• A Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) from an accredited institution is essential for our clinical roles.
\n
• At least 2 years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy, with a preference for post-licensure experience.
\n
• A solid grounding in evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic approaches.
\n
• Demonstrated ability to work independently while also contributing positively to team dynamics and a collaborative culture.
\n
• Proficiency with EHR systems and a willingness to adapt to new telehealth platforms as needed.
\n

Preferred Experience\n

\n
• Fluency in multiple languages such as Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, or Mandarin that would enhance our outreach to diverse communities.
\n
• Specialized training in therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, motivational interviewing, and other integrative frameworks.
\n
• Experience working within underserved communities, education-based programs, or community mental health settings.
\n
• Comfort with various EHR systems such as SimplePractice or TherapyNotes to optimize clinical documentation processes.
\n

Compensation and Benefits\n

\n
• A competitive salary aligned with your experience and professional credentials, ranging from $90,000 to $100,000.
\n
• Flexible scheduling options, allowing for hybrid roles and telehealth appointments for optimal work-life balance.
\n
• Health and wellness benefits, including comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and mental health coverage.
\n
