Job Description

  • Job type: Therapist (Associates and Fully-Licensed)
  • Location: Southeast Houston – (17629 El Camino Real, Houston, TX, 77058)
  • Hours per week: 24-40 hours

Are you looking for a place to grow as a professional therapist? Do you believe in truly making a difference for those currently experiencing mental health challenges? Do you desire to work at a biblically-based organization? If so, then this is the perfect job for you.

Some of the highlights of joining the team at Genesis Family include:

Working for a Christian, biblically-based non-profit organization that stands behind its mission to” restore the family unit to God’s original design.”

Helping develop a small, but rapidly growing mental health organization, with whom you can grow along with as a professional.

Working for an organization that actively provides scholarships through their non-profit organization for those who need therapy, but cannot afford it.

Tanya, Therapist at Genesis Family: “What I love most about my job is creating a space for my clients to heal from past trauma and walk in the fullness of the freedom God intended for them. “

This is what you’ll do as a therapist at Genesis Family:

As a therapist, you are responsible for providing mental health care to clients. You will see roughly 5-6 clients for each day you work with us, but never more than 30 per week, when working fulltime.

A typical day consists out walking into the office, consulting any matters with your colleagues, and then diving into your hour long sessions. After your sessions, you finish writing the notes you had for a day.

Once you finish your administrative duties, you can specialize in another area of your choosing: Marketing, clinical research or volunteer work for our non-profit organization.

Who We Are Looking For

In terms of a profile, we are looking for a highly motivated individual, someone who understands our mission and value and subscribes to our core beliefs in restoring the family unit to God’s original design.

We are looking for a therapist with a passion for helping the family unit as a whole, which means you enjoy working with children, teens, young adults, married couples, etc. Of course, every therapist has his/her preference in clientele, but you understand that restoring mental health in families is the key to mental health for each individual in the long run.

We are looking for someone who has a hands-on mentality, strong social skills and likes to have innovative ideas on how to improve our treatment plans or organizational growth.

This Is Where You Will Work

Genesis Family Inc. is a professional mental health non-profit organization; right now, it consists out of a team of numerous LPC's, LMFT's and Life/Recovery coaches. We are growing exponentially, and getting clients is not going to be an issue for us.

We do want to make sure that everyone’s work-life balance is in order, and that means that our organization does not do crisis calls/interventions. We all work hard when we are on the job, but also believe in respecting our team’s private life when we are off the clock.

Our working hours are from Monday to Friday 9AM – 6PM, and on Saturday from 9AM – 5PM. On Sunday’s we are closed, and obviously we will discuss what other day you would like as your weekend day.

  • Webster, TX.
