Job Description

Is your goal to be working in a multi-disciplinary collaborative therapy environment to that helps children reach their social, emotional, medical, behavioral, physical and mental needs?
Do you want to be employed at a pediatric therapy clinic that values work-life balance, and the physical and mental health of its employees?
Are you interested in working at a clinic that ensures its therapists have access to the latest science, education, and resources to offer the best service possible?
If you answered yes to all these questions, please read about this exciting opportunity at Treehouse Pediatric Therapy!
Treehouse is hiring a Child and Family Counselor or Social Worker for our new Mental Health division that will open in March 2022. Treehouse is expanding its scope of services to include Mental Health as a natural extension of our seven existing pediatric Physical, Occupational, Speech, Pelvic Floor, Feeding, Nutrition and ABA therapies.
Locally owned and operated, Treehouse opened in February 2012 and currently has a team of over 30clinical professionals in Woodridge and Batavia.
We improve the lives of children that are diagnosed with ASD, sensory processing disorders, speech and language disorders, feeding issues, anxiety, depression, behavior issues, incontinence, physical and other neurological conditions.
Treehouse believes that that the best way to help children and their families is through hiring outstanding therapists, equip them with the best resources and provide a supportive culture to thrive in.
We firmly believe that offering a variety of services in one location is a true benefit for our families. This enables our therapists co-treat, collaborate, and ensure a team treatment approach that provides our clients with consistent, comprehensive levels of care.
Bringing a counselor into our team will enable us to serve clients to best of our ability. Our families have expressed a higher level of satisfaction when they are receiving consistent, reliable services under one roof.
This reduces their travel time to a variety of clinics, they experience a streamlined billing process, and build a relationship with our clinical and administrative teams.
Many of our clients, and subsequently their families, face mental health challenges secondary to primary diagnoses, listed above. We believe that the trust and care we build with our families will naturally extend to the realm of counseling.
We are looking forward to providing this support to our clients and their families. When it is appropriate as determined by the counselor and families, we are excited to collaborate and incorporate counselor recommendations into our other therapies.
Ideally, families would be able to seek assistance for themselves and their children in individual, family and group therapies.
Currently, Treehouse Pediatrics has close to 200 weekly clients for its existing services. Of these families, many seek behavioral and mental health services from a variety of locations. Our therapists consistently refer clients and their families out of our clinic to meet these needs. With our current client base, we feel minimal marketing would be required to build a caseload for a Treehouse Counselor.
We are excited to offer this opportunity and are looking forward to welcoming a dedicated new team member with fresh ideas, an expansive vision and enthusiasm for planning for the future!
