Contractor Outpatient Therapist

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should stick to those headings. The COMHAR description is about the organization, not the role. Could be placed under About the role as extra context? Might be okay. But we must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Perhaps we can add a paragraph under About the role after the initial description, describing COMHAR mission etc. That seems reasonable. We must not include duplicated lines. Now craft HTML. Structure:

Qualifications

(Same as Requirements? Might be redundant. But we already listed qualifications under Requirements. Perhaps we can combine. However the instruction says include a section only when posting has real specific content. The posting has "Outpatient Therapist Required Qualifications:" which is essentially qualifications. We could treat that as Qualifications section and not repeat Requirements. But we also have requirements like experience etc. Might be better to have Requirements section for experience/licensure etc and Qualifications for education/certification. Let's split. We'll create Requirements: experience, licensure, ability to work independently, etc. Qualifications: education/certification. Let's extract: Requirements (experience/skills): - Experience in behavioral health / substance use field. - Experience providing mental health or behavioral health therapy. - Strong clinical documentation and communication skills. - Ability to work independently and manage a caseload. - Licensure supervision available. Qualifications (education/cert): - Master’s degree in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, or related field. - Or full certification as an addiction's counselor or a co-occurring disorder professional by a statewide certification body which is a member of a National Certification Body or certified by another state government’s certification board (including CAADC, ADC, CAAC, CCJP, CCDP, CCDPD). - Advanced degree preferred with experience working with individuals diagnosed with both mental/behavioral health and substance use diagnoses. - Active professional licensure (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, LSW, or equivalent)—or pre‑licensed clinicians with supervision options, if applicable. But licensure appears in both; we can keep in Qualifications. Let's craft:
