• Strong problem-solving abilities and critical thinking skills to effectively address challenges encountered during therapy sessions.
• A collaborative spirit that values team input and supports a culture of mutual growth and professional development.

While extensive experience is not required, candidates with exposure to community mental health settings, particularly those familiar with evidence-based practices, will be prioritized. Experience delivering telehealth services and using digital platforms for therapy may also enhance your suitability for this role.
