Job Description

The Program Therapist role involves providing in-depth clinical care to a small caseload of youth at a residential treatment center, including individual, family, and group therapy, as well as interacting within the residential milieu to foster healthy relationships and emotional growth.

Candidates will develop trauma-informed, personalized treatment plans based on the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT), with opportunities for intensive training and certification.

Requirements include a master’s or doctorate in a related field, licensing eligibility in New Mexico, and a passion for trauma-informed care. The role is full-time, in-person, with a schedule typically Monday to Friday.
