As a Field-Based Clinical Therapist for Wraparound in Merced, California, you’ll work closely with a diverse team to provide support and care for high-risk children and families. While working in the field, you’ll deliver direct therapeutic treatment to children, youth, and families in their home, school or a community setting. Our team-based approach allows you to work with the whole family, providing you an opportunity to impact the entire family system. Reignite your passion for helping families in need by using your education, experience, and compassion to make a meaningful difference in your community.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY
As a Field-Based Clinical Therapist in Merced, California, you’ll have the opportunity to develop and implement care plans as the clinical leader of a therapeutic team. As part of this team-based approach, you’ll work closely with youth and family partners, social workers, and others to provide therapeutic care to clients struggling with behavioral health and mental health issues. Participation in after-hours on-call on a rotating basis allows you to provide immediate support to a child and family in crisis. You will receive a stipend for each week you are on call.
While keeping current and accurate records (which includes Medi-Cal and non-Medi-Cal documentation), you’ll see that the therapy provides the support necessary for the child and family to grow and succeed. You will meet with families around their schedules, so some days may begin when school starts, while other days may end around dinner time. You’ll adjust your day accordingly. Depending on your career interest, supervisory and program management opportunities are available as you develop your skills.
