Community Counseling Program Overview
At Catholic Charities, our Community Counseling Program address the mental health needs of the poor and underserved. Our team of therapists help individuals, couples, and families overcome emotional distress and trauma. We recognize the added challenges of people living in poverty and accept patients who do not have any means to pay, as well as those with limited resources, on a sliding fee scale adjusted to an individual’s or family’s size and financial situation. Additionally, third party insurance payers, Medicare, and Medicaid are accepted.
Therapist Job Summary
As a Mental Health Therapist, you will provide in-office psychotherapy, counseling, and other related services to individuals, couples, families and groups. Catholic Charities’ mission is to provide services to those in need, and our therapists work with a wide range of diagnoses and demographics. Therapists regularly collaborate with other Programs within the Agency to provide psychotherapy services to support every client in meeting their goals.
Position Requirements
Candidates are required to have completed or are about to complete either a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) or in a related counseling field. Post graduate clinical practice (i.e. LPC, MFT) and 3,000 hour certification is a plus, but is not required as Catholic Charities offers supervision to obtain certification hours for candidates who have not completed or started their post graduate hours.

Why should I apply?
This is the perfect opportunity for a compassionate and empathetic clinician looking to address a wide range of diagnoses, focused on supporting clients from the local community who often cannot afford support elsewhere.
