The Counselor I will conduct thorough psychosocial and mental health assessments to guide individualized treatment plans while providing evidence-based counseling interventions to patients and their families in a structured inpatient setting. Responsibilities also include coordinating care, advocating for patients, facilitating therapeutic groups, and maintaining accurate documentation.
Candidates must possess a Master's degree in counseling and hold an LGPC license through the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors. One year of experience in a healthcare or behavioral health setting is preferred, along with strong communication skills and knowledge of counseling.
Brook Lane’s Inpatient Services provide intensive, 24-hour care to children, adolescents, and adults experiencing acute mental health crises. Patients in our care may face severe symptoms such as suicidal thoughts, impulsive behaviors, or require emergency stabilization. As a Counselor Level I – LGPC, you will play a key role in assessment, counseling, and care coordination—helping patients find stability and hope during their most vulnerable moments.
We offer up to 24 hours of continuing education each year to support licensure maintenance—an investment in your professional growth that can save clinicians over $1,200 annually in CE expenses.
Brook Lane’s inpatient units are designed to meet the unique needs of different age groups—children, adolescents, and adults—through safe, structured, and therapeutic programming. Each patient’s plan includes a combination of individual counseling, group therapy, family involvement, and skill-building activities that promote stabilization and recovery.
At Meritus, we believe in a collaborative and caring work environment. Interactions are an opportunity to learn, listen and to be there for one another. Therefore, we provide warm welcomes, hospitality-driven closures, and are always Happy to Help.
