Description:

Join Liberty Resources and Make a Lasting Impact with Functional Family Therapy!

Are you someone who thrives on connecting with people, taking on tough challenges, and creating real change? Liberty Resources, Inc. is on the lookout for passionate and driven individuals to join us as Functional Family Therapy (FFT) Clinicians! Through Functional Family Therapy (FFT), you’ll work with adolescents (ages 11-17) and their families, guiding them toward healthier relationships and improved functioning.

In FFT, you’ll be empowered with an evidence-based model and gain expertise in engaging entire family systems through five treatment phases. You’ll support families in breaking down barriers, improving communication, and building resilience. Common treatment outcomes include:

· Improved family functioning

· Decreased rate of out-of-home placement

· Increased coping and problem-solving skills

· Fewer mental health challenges.

What Makes FFT at Liberty Stand Out?

A Fresh Take on Therapy

· Get Out of the Office: Conduct home-based sessions, fostering deeper engagement with families.

· Flex Your Clinical Muscles: Every day brings a new challenge, where you’ll apply a broad range of approaches—including cognitive-behavioral techniques, family systems theory, and solution-focused strategies.

· Small Caseloads: Serve 10-12 families at a time, ensuring meaningful work without burnout.

· Treatment That Works: With a short 3-5 month window, you’ll see real results without long-term fatigue.

Home-Based & Family-Centered Approach

· Treatment is provided in clients’ homes —no need for families to worry about transportation or child care.

· Sessions are offered in the evening and on weekends as needed, giving families the flexibility they need.

Flexibility and Autonomy

· Hybrid Work Environment: When you’re not meeting families, work from home!

· Flexible Scheduling: Independence in creating a nontraditional schedule outside of contact with clients and supervision

· No Office Commute: Mileage is reimbursed right from your doorstep.

Exceptional Training and Support

· Ongoing Training + Supervision: Our intensive support model includes built-in training, supervision, and development opportunities.

· Collaborative Team Culture: Be part of a positive, family-focused team that values cultural humility and is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

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!

We’re Looking for Clinicians Who:

· Hold a Master’s degree in a mental health-related field.

· Licensure is preferred but not required—limited permits welcome!

· Have a valid New York State driver’s license and reliable transportation.

Pay Rate: $57, 000 annually
