Benefits and training reimbursement are subject to eligibility requirements and applicable plan or program terms.

Clinical Responsibilities

Manage a caseload that supports seeing 24–30 patients per week, providing consistent, high-quality care through in-person and telehealth appointments.

Conduct comprehensive intake assessments, develop diagnostic impressions within your scope of practice, and create individualized treatment plans with measurable goals.

Provide individual therapy and, as appropriate to your training and assigned caseload, couples, family, child, adolescent, and group therapy.

Use evidence-based interventions to help patients improve coping skills, emotional regulation, communication, relationships, and daily functioning.

Assess safety concerns, provide crisis intervention within your role, develop safety plans, and coordinate additional services or higher levels of care when indicated.

Maintain accurate, timely assessments, progress notes, treatment plans, and other required documentation. Monitor patient progress and adjust treatment collaboratively.

Additional Hybrid Responsibilities

This position extends beyond scheduled therapy appointments. Therapists are expected to contribute to continuity of care, team collaboration, and the ongoing development of ITC’s therapy services.

Coordinate care with psychiatric providers, referring professionals, families, and community supports when appropriate and with required authorization.

Participate in team meetings, case consultations, required supervision, and training, including professional development in PRT, EMDR, or other approved modalities.

Support patient engagement through clinically appropriate check-ins, follow-up outreach, and collaboration with administrative staff to address attendance barriers and continuity of care.

Contribute to quality improvement and program development, including documentation reviews, patient education materials, therapeutic groups, and other duties reasonably related to the position.

In-person and remote workdays will be coordinated with leadership based on patient needs and clinic operations. This is not a fully remote position. During remote work, therapists must maintain a private workspace, reliable internet access, and availability during scheduled working hours, using ITC-approved systems.

Required Qualifications

A master’s degree in counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, or a closely related clinical field from an accredited institution.

Current, unrestricted Maryland licensure as an LGPC, LMSW, LCSW-C, LCPC, or LCMFT. Marriage and family therapists must hold the appropriate Maryland credential.

Willingness to participate in supervision appropriate to your license and responsibilities. LGPC and LMSW applicants are welcome, with required supervision arrangements established before providing applicable clinical services.

Strong communication, interpersonal, organizational, and time-management skills, including the ability to maintain timely documentation and work effectively in a hybrid setting.
