Job Title: Therapist

Location: Spring Point Counseling

Job Type: Full-time/Part-time

We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated licensed therapist to join our team and contribute to the

well-being of our clients. As a Therapist, you will play a crucial role in providing mental health support,

counseling, and guidance to individuals facing various challenges.

Responsibilities:

● Conduct initial assessments to understand clients' mental health, history, and current challenges.

● Develop personalized treatment plans based on clients' needs, incorporating counseling sessions

and therapeutic interventions.

● Provide one-on-one or group counseling sessions to help clients explore and address emotional

issues, set goals, and develop coping strategies.

● Offer empathetic and non-judgmental support to clients as they navigate through emotional

struggles.

● Regularly evaluate and adjust treatment plans based on clients' progress and feedback.

● Maintain accurate and confidential records of client sessions, progress, and relevant information.

● Collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care.

● Provide psychoeducation to clients and their families about mental health issues, coping

mechanisms, and self-care.

● Adhere to ethical guidelines and maintain professional boundaries with clients.

● Stay updated on the latest research, therapeutic techniques, and advancements in the field

through ongoing education and training.

Qualifications:

● Proof of education and credentials will be required prior to employment in one of the following

categories:

○ Master's or Doctoral degree in Psychology, Counseling, Social Work, or a related field.

○ State licensure as a therapist (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or equivalent).

● NC valid driver's license

● Criminal background check by local Police Department

Skills:

● Strong interpersonal and communication skills: Clear and effective communication is vital for

therapists to convey complex ideas, guide clients through self-discovery, and facilitate meaningful

conversations. This includes both verbal and non-verbal communication.

● Empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to help others: The ability to understand and share the

feelings of clients is crucial. Empathy allows therapists to connect with clients on a deep

emotional level, creating a safe space for open communication and trust.

● Non-Judgmental Attitude: Creating a non-judgmental and accepting space is essential for clients

to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Therapists must suspend personal biases

and judgments to provide unbiased support.

● Cultural Sensitivity: Therapists should be culturally competent and sensitive to the diverse

backgrounds of their clients. Understanding and respecting cultural differences enhances the

effectiveness of therapy and builds rapport.

● Flexibility: Each client is unique, and therapeutic needs vary. Therapists should be flexible in

adapting their approach to suit individual clients, considering their personality, preferences, and

specific challenges.

● Problem-Solving Skills: Therapists often help clients navigate through complex emotional issues.

Strong problem-solving skills enable therapists to collaboratively identify challenges, set goals,

and develop practical strategies for overcoming obstacles.

● Resilience: The nature of therapy can be emotionally taxing, and therapists need resilience to

handle the emotional weight of their work. The ability to bounce back from challenging sessions

and maintain a positive outlook is crucial.

● Boundaries: Establishing and maintaining professional boundaries is essential for the

therapist-client relationship. Therapists need to balance empathy with the ability to remain

objective and maintain appropriate emotional distance.

Training/Experience:

● No prior therapeutic work experience is required. If you are passionate about making a positive

impact on individuals' lives and have the qualifications to support our mission, we invite you to
