Bilingual Therapist (Licensed/Unlicensed) - Bright Futures

Brightpoint invites you to join our team of mission-driven staff who share a
common vision: an equitable world where all children and families thrive in
strong communities. As a leader in the human services sector for 140 years, we
aim to advance the well-being of children by investing in families and
strengthening communities through data-informed, collaborative, and preventative
solutions.

Opportunities for growth. Therapists and Counselors are supported in obtaining
and maintaining clinical licensure through in-house clinical supervision and
reimbursement for licensure fees. We also offer opportunities for advanced
trainings in your field, which may include Play Therapy, Child Parent
Psychotherapy, Nurturing Parent Program, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy, and other trainings, depending on your unique interests, as well as
opportunities to collaborate with other community partners to expand your
professional network and increase your access to supplemental resources to
benefit the kids and families you’re serving.

Work/Life balance. We know you can’t pour from an empty cup. We encourage a
healthy work/life balance by keeping schedules flexible and caseloads low, with
a focus on quality of engagement and services over quantity of billable hours.
We offer a generous paid leave package that includes two weeks of paid vacation
in the first year (increasing over your tenure to more than five weeks per
year), plus two weeks of paid sick time, two additional floating holidays,
eleven paid holidays, and a paid winter break between Christmas and New Year's
each year.

As a Bilingual Therapist (Licensed/Unlicensed) in our early childhood centers,
you will focus on Child-Parent Psychotherapy and infant and early childhood
mental health. You will assess the behavioral health of participants and provide
clinical assessment, diagnosis, and evidenced-based therapy services as
applicable.
