As a counselor on our Triple P team, you will work collaboratively with caregivers to identify challenges, develop practical parenting strategies, and strengthen family relationships. The counselor will also maintain program documentation, participate in community outreach and presentations, and develop relationships with local organizations and referral partners.

This Monday–Friday position offers the opportunity to work independently while remaining connected to a supportive, collaborative team of behavioral health professionals.
