Family Therapist

About the role

GRO Community is building a team that meets families where they are. This is a home and community-based role for a clinician who believes that engagement is treatment. The Family Therapist will carry a focused caseload and clinical approach and draw from a range of evidence-based and home-based models — including Functional Family Therapy (FFT) — to fit the intervention to the family rather than the other way around.

Responsibilities

• Provide home- and community-based family therapy to a caseload of 10–15 families across the Chicagoland area.
• Deliver intervention drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities, including Functional Family Therapy (FFT) and other home-based, family-centered models, matched to each family's needs.
• Engage families relentlessly and flexibly — meeting in homes, schools, and community settings, and at times that work for the family.
• Conduct assessment, treatment planning, individual and family sessions, crisis support, safety planning, and community linkage.
• Collaborate with schools, courts, child welfare, and other systems involved with the family.
• Maintain timely, fidelity-consistent clinical documentation.
• Participate actively in team consultation, supervision, and ongoing model training.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in social work, counseling, psychology, marriage and family therapy, or a closely related behavioral health field.
• Illinois clinical licensure (LSW, LPC, LCSW, or LCPC).
• Associate-level clinicians (LSW/LPC) working toward independent licensure are strongly encouraged to apply.
• Meets Illinois Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) qualifications.
• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and willingness to travel throughout the Chicagoland service area.
• Strong engagement skills with families experiencing conflict, instability, or crisis.
