Practice for this role

About the role

Facilitate evidence-based group therapy sessions using CBT, DBT, and ACT for adults in Mood, Anxiety, and OCD programs. Collaborate with the treatment team during daily rounds and manage patient crises within a therapeutic milieu.

Weekly outpatient therapy isn't always enough, and a trip to the ER isn't the only answer.

Patients and their families rely on Compass Health Center when in crisis – every day, we help people overcome depression, anxiety, suicidality, obsessions/compulsions, trauma, chronic pain, and other obstacles in order for our patients to live freely.

About This Role Launched in September 2023, our location in Silver Spring, MD, is already home to top local talent in behavioral health care.

At the core of Compass we believe in the power of community and connection, which is why we are committed to our group-based programming.

As an Adult Group Therapist, you will spend the majority of your time with our patients facilitating evidenced based groups using modalities like CBT, DBT, and ACT.

We are seeking new and experienced clinicians with a passion for delivering dynamic and informative groups for our patients.

If you are seeking an opportunity to provide exceptional care, we’d love to have you on our team.

This role will work with patients aged 18+ in our Mood & Anxiety Program and OCD Programs.

As a Group Therapist at Compass, you’ll receive expert training that lays the foundation and cultivates expertise necessary for personal, clinical, and professional growth.

Specifically, you’ll receive training and development in curriculum-based programming and evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.
