MDFT Clinician

MDFT Clinician Waterbury, CT 06702 35 hours/week Monday – Friday with flexible hours $55,000 per year

At CJR, we pride ourselves on maintaining a very small case load for our MDFT clinicians. This allows for dedicated, one-on-one time with youth and their families, creating a meaningful connection and providing more personalized care. Unlike larger caseloads, our clinicians have the opportunity to focus on building trusting relationships without the pressure of back-to-back sessions, ensuring each youth and family receives the attention they deserve.

What You’ll Do

• Provide in-home, individualized therapy to families, including crisis intervention, parent guidance, and advocacy.
• Conduct 2-3 face-to-face clinical sessions weekly with youth, parents, and families, working closely within their natural environment.
• Collaborate with families to build strong social support networks and develop personalized, goal-oriented treatment plans.
• Quickly establish trust by initiating contact within 48 hours of referral.
• Document progress and treatment plans thoroughly, ensuring compliance with agency standards.
• Partner with our dedicated team to connect families with community resources and ongoing support.
• Participate in ongoing training, supervision, and program evaluation to stay at the forefront of best practices.

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s Degree in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, or a related field.
• Provisional license (LMSW, LPC-A, LMFT-A, LCSW, LPC, or LMFT).
• Passionate about therapeutic interventions, advocacy, and crisis support.
• Independent, reliable, and committed to making a difference.
• Excellent communicator and team player who values professionalism and empathy.

• Why Choose CJR?
• Small caseload enables personalized, one-on-one youth and family connections.
• Company provided vehicle and gas card to keep it fill up.
• We will cover your licensure costs and assist you in obtaining your supervision hours.
• Competitive salary of $55,000/year with a flexible schedule to promote work-life balance.
