Job Description
Sierra Sage Treatment Center provides residential treatment for young women in a safe, supportive, nurturing environment. Through accredited education, vocational training, and a normalized high school experience, we give our youth the skills to overcome abuse, neglect, trauma, substance abuse, mental illness, and violence — so they can build healthy futures.
We're looking for a Therapist to join our clinical team.
Why Sierra Sage: Unlike private practice, where your income depends on how many clients you can churn through in a day, our model is built around collaboration, not productivity quotas.
You'll work as part of a true multi-disciplinary team — clinicians, educators, and residential staff working from one integrated treatment plan — instead of carrying a caseload alone. No billing pressure, no productivity targets.
Just the time and support to do deep clinical work with a residential population whose needs go far beyond what a 50-minute weekly session can address.
Invest in your growth, on our dime. We provide paid clinical supervision toward licensure, plus training and certification in evidence-based practices — so you're not funding your own professional development or hunting down a supervisor on the side. Build your clinical skill set while you build your career.
Pay: Starting at $80,000–$100,000/year, DOE and licensure.
Perks & Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and company-paid Life Insurance within 90 days. 403(b) match up to 6% after one year. Paid Time Off usable as soon as it accrues, and more. Full benefits details
What You'll Do
- Provide individual, family, and group therapy as indicated by program and school needs.
- Develop and oversee treatment across individual, family, and group modalities — clinical assessment, service planning, milieu therapy, counseling, case management, record keeping, and coordination with a multi-disciplinary team.
- Build expertise in differential assessment, treatment readiness, change models, and motivational interviewing — with the backing of a collaborative clinical team, not in isolation.
- Assess and document the effectiveness of interventions against treatment plan goals.
- Document all therapy sessions and client-related contacts.
To Be Considered
- Empathetic, patient, and respectful in your work with others.
- Current licensure as required by your program location.
- Willingness to obtain required CEUs annually to maintain licensure.
- One year of prior experience in a residential or school setting with at-risk youth, their families, and/or the Juvenile Justice System.
- Eligible to be an ROP driver: current state driver's license and acceptable driving record for the past three years.
- Able to pass a criminal background check, drug screen, physical, and TB test.
