The Alternative to Meds Center is looking for an experienced and licensed therapist (AZ) to provide therapy and clinical services for patients in a residential behavioral health treatment setting. ATMC believes in providing a high level of clinical care in a compassionate environment. We specialize in biochemical correction concerning addiction and alternatives to psychiatric drugs, offering specialized care for a tapering medication withdrawal. Our philosophy is to ensure residents receive the ultimate in support during their tenure with us, from arrival to graduation, and beyond.
The position requires an emphasis on mental health, and the connection between body, mind and spirit. Our ideal candidate is licensed. We are seeking someone that can contribute to a multidisciplinary team to treat clinically complicated residents and their families. Those with associate licensure are also encouraged to apply.
The therapist is directly responsible for the therapeutic needs and continuum of clinical care for clients. Clinical responsibilities include providing individual therapy sessions, occasional family therapy sessions, facilitation of group therapy sessions, documenting all services, and working closely with residential staff.
Additionally, please note that our facility is unique in many ways, including that a large percentage of our clients are tapering medication while in our care as one of their treatment goals. As a result, they are often symptomatic while going through withdraw from medication reduction, which creates a different treatment experience for the clients and staff than that of a traditional mental health/residential setting.
Schedule: Typically, therapy sessions will be done on site, in\-person with our residents (we're located in West Sedona... though occasionally a remote therapy session may be scheduled for various reasons). The typical caseload for this position will fluctuate depending on our overall census at the center, likely ranging from 4 \- 10 sessions per week. As such, flexibility is important for this position, and the hours may vary. As a therapist at ATMC, you would be required to attend clinical supervisory meetings on Wednesdays with our clinical team (Therapists, Care Managers, Clinical Liaison, and Clinical Director) and also stay up to date with residents on your caseload by reviewing email reports, and working closely with \& corresponding with team.
Starting compensation for this position is around $125 per 1:1 Therapy Session, to include EMR notes. Admin / hourly duties would be paid at $50 per hour, not to include notes. (Rates based on experience).
There are also opportunities to facilitate one or two group therapy sessions each week.
Some responsibilities of this position, such as writing up 1:1 and group therapy notes, could potentially be completed remotely once fully trained in all aspects of this position.
