About the Role

This position is employed by Anuvia Prevention & Recovery Center and provided on-site at Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth & Families through a clinical partnership between the two organizations.

Anuvia is seeking a dedicated Licensed Counselor to provide individual, group, and family counseling for youth in residential care at the Home, addressing trauma, behavioral, and (where present) co-occurring substance use needs.

You will be a core member of an interdisciplinary team committed to person-centered, recovery-oriented care.

Black Mountain's 200+ acre campus supports garden and farm, equine, and ropes-course programming that can be woven into the Home's group therapy offerings alongside more traditional clinical groups. This is a full-time role offering meaningful, hands-on clinical work as part of a committed on-site team.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Clinical Services

• Provide individual counseling tailored to each child's age, history, and presenting need — e. g., trauma and attachment work (Trauma-Focused CBT, attachment-based approaches) at entry; emotional and behavioral regulation (CBT-based skills coaching, play therapy for younger children); identity, family, and peer issues (motivational interviewing, family-systems-informed work); and independent-living/discharge readiness for older youth (solution-focused therapy)
• Lead or clinically co-facilitate age-appropriate therapeutic groups, including nature-based and experiential programming supported by the Home's campus — for example, equine-assisted, garden/farm-based, and low-ropes/team-challenge activities — alongside DBT skills, anger management, life-skills/discharge-planning, and art or music therapy for adolescents; art, music, movement, play-based social-skills, and animal-care groups for younger children — documenting each session's clinical goals, interventions, and client response
• Provide family counseling, including family reunification and reintegration preparation, and facilitate family involvement in treatment
• Conduct comprehensive clinical assessments, including psychosocial assessments; for clients with identified substance use needs, conduct ASAM multidimensional assessments and develop ASAM Level of Care recommendations as appropriate to licensure
• For clients with identified substance use needs, monitor signs and symptoms of intoxication and withdrawal and coordinate appropriate interventions
• Provide crisis intervention, post-incident processing, and safety planning, coordinating with the treatment team following any crisis or hospitalization

Treatment Planning & Care Coordination

• Develop, implement, and update individualized, person-centered treatment and service plans prior to or on the date of service
• Monitor client progress through ongoing assessment and reassessment; revise treatment plans as clinically indicated
• Manage full client caseload from admission through discharge, including transitions, family reunification, and aftercare/discharge planning
• Participate in weekly treatment team meetings and case coordination with the Home's residential staff, school, DSS, and court contacts as needed
• Coordinate linkage to medically necessary services including MAT, psychiatric medication management, psychological, medical, and community-based resources
• Submit service authorizations and ensure continuity of care across providers and systems
• Provide referrals and coordination for SUD treatment and recovery resources

Documentation & Compliance

• Complete accurate, timely, and compliant documentation in the EHR per state, agency, and federal requirements
• Complete required reporting, including incident reports per established guidelines, and NC TOPPS/GPRA reporting for clients receiving substance use treatment services
• Participate in QA/QI activities including peer review and timely resolution of out-of-compliance items

Team & Professional Development

• Participate in interdisciplinary team meetings, case staffing, clinical supervision, and coordination with the Clinical Director, medical providers, and Black Mountain Home staff
• Facilitate training and supervision for interns and/or trainees as assigned
• Administer medications and conduct UDS screenings within scope of training and licensure
