Job Description
Make a Real Difference—Join Our Team of Changemakers!
Are you someone who thrives on solving problems, connecting with people, and creating real change? Liberty Resources, Inc. is on the lookout for passionate and driven individuals to join us as Multisystemic Therapy (MST) Clinicians!
If you want a meaningful career that’s hands-on, flexible, and never boring, this is your chance. You’ll be working with families of teens (ages 12-17) to tackle tough challenges and create positive outcomes. Check out this video to hear some reasons our therapists love working in MST!
As part of our MST team, you’ll receive comprehensive training in an evidence-based model and work closely with families, schools, and service providers to implement solutions that foster:
- Improved school attendance and performance
- Stronger family relationships
- Positive social connections
- Reduced high-risk behaviors, such as running away, aggression, stealing, and substance use
- Why You’ll Love Being an MST Therapist at Liberty Resources:
- Exceptional Training & Support
- Receive hands-on training and ongoing supervision from day one, built into the MST model.
- Join a supportive team dedicated to helping you grow professionally and personally.
Flexibility & Autonomy
- Enjoy a hybrid schedule: work from home when not in meetings or sessions with clients.
- A non-traditional schedule allows more opportunities for work-life balance.
Home-Based & Family-Centered Approach
- Sessions are held in the families' homes—no need for clients to worry about transportation or child care.
- Sessions are offered in the evening and on weekends as needed, giving families the flexibility they need.
- The team works together to provide 24/7 phone support to clients as they work daily to change their dynamics
- Work directly within the family’s environment, building stronger engagement and better outcomes.
- MST recognizes that families have many strengths they can leverage to solve their own problems and that they can achieve change quickly
Manageable Caseload & Focused Care
- Serve only 4-6 families at a time, so you can focus on making a real impact without feeling overwhelmed.
- No Medicaid restrictions—our treatment and documentation is driven by client needs, not insurance guidelines.
Dynamic Work Experience
- From using cognitive behavioral therapy to family systems theory, you’ll get to use a wide range of clinical skills.
- Partner with schools, probation officers, and other community members to create holistic solutions for families.
Positive & Inclusive Work Culture
- Join a team that values diversity, equity, and inclusion while believing in the potential of every family.
- Our short treatment window (3-5 months) helps you see fast, tangible results—and prevents burnout.
What You’ll Need
- A master’s degree in a mental health field.
- At least 2 years of experience working with families (community-based work preferred).
- A valid Texas driver’s license and reliable transportation.
Perks & Benefits
- Loan Forgiveness Eligibility – We’re a 501(c) nonprofit, so you could qualify for student loan forgiveness.
- Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) – PTO starts after 90 days, and sick time accrues from your first month. Enjoy paid holidays from day one, including two floating holidays.
- Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
- Not sitting in an office all day – work remotely when not in meetings/sessions
- 401(k) Retirement Plan – with company match!
- No commuting costs – get paid mileage from your home
- Clinical Supervision – Receive supervision to help you work toward licensure. Limited permits welcome!
