Licensed Clinician

About the role

Join Our Team as a Licensed Clinician Are you interested in moving away from telehealth sessions and engaging in therapy with children and adolescents in a farm-based setting? Cultivate Care Farms is seeking a Licensed Clinician to join our team in Bolton, MA. Applicants do not need farm experience, but instead a knowledge of evidence-based therapy modalities (CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS) that are applied in sessions involving the land and animals.

We see over 125 individual clients per week, and our groups have over 40 weekly participants.

Just as we want our clients to develop resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging, we want the same for our clinicians. We hope you will join our team in doing this important work!
