Mental Health Therapist - CSEC Population

Position Overview

Join our compassionate and dedicated team to provide meaningful, trauma-informed support to youth and young adults impacted by sexual exploitation and trafficking. You’ll deliver individual, family, and group therapy to guide clients through their healing journey. Your role will also include conducting in-depth psychosocial assessments and creating personalized treatment plans that foster growth and resilience.

In collaboration with multidisciplinary teams—working closely with DHS, parole/probation, schools, and community partners—you'll help provide holistic support for the individuals you serve. You’ll also offer some case management services to ensure clients can access vital resources and meet their basic needs.

Why Join Us?

• Flexible Schedule:

• Dynamic Work Environment:

Sessions take place where clients feel most comfortable—whether it’s in their home, at a coffee shop, or other safe community locations. Expect to spend time out in the community, building trust and creating change in meaningful spaces.
