About Us

We are an organization that serves adolescents, adults, and their families who struggle with mental health challenges including but not limited to trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and substance use disorder (SUD). We offer telehealth, in-person, and hybrid services. We also provide niche-specific services for probation-involved youth. We are team-oriented and value a positive, supportive, and creative workplace environment to complement the meaningful and challenging work we do. If you are an innovative mental health professional looking to both serve a diverse population and contribute to the growth of a mental health practice, Family Spring is the place for you!

About You

We are seeking applications from motivated clinicians who will provide direct substance use disorder treatment (primarily individual counseling but also group) to probation-involved teens and transition aged youth (TAY). Family Spring uses an adapted version of the Mindfulness-Based Substance Abuse Treatment (MBSAT) 12-session curriculum for group and individual counseling sessions. The ideal clinician will bring their unique history, skills, and approach to the work and be committed to ongoing learning and improvement. We welcome applicants with personal histories of struggle (SUD and/or mental health symptoms) that have influenced their transformation and work as a professional.

Alongside having relevant expertise and a curiosity to grow as a clinician, the preferred candidate will be technology friendly, be detail-oriented, be timely with documentation, and have several opportunities for growth within the company.
