Mental Health Counselor
We are looking for a Mental Health Counselor who will counsel individuals and groups to promote optimum mental health. The successful candidate will possess at least a basic knowledge of youth assessment, diagnosis of mental health concerns, designing treatment plans, and experience providing services directly to youth for their mental health concerns.
Working with youth often demands a strong ability to monitor and track many different parts of their treatment and current functioning. Mental Health Counselors at YouthZone must be able to handle several tasks at once in a calm, organized fashion. They also must be patient, flexible, and adapt well to fluctuating needs. It is also helpful to be able to collaborate with parents and other providers. Mental Health Counselor documents all counseling sessions, groups, and other client interactions on YouthZone’s charting database. Consults, coordinates, and collaborates with Program Director, Youth Advocates, administrative staff and Program Coordinators. Works with a diverse client population in a variety of treatment approaches and settings.
We are looking for a Youth Advocate – CYDC & Diversion Specialist to join our team. With an analytical mind and a compassionate nature, Youth Advocates at YouthZone serve as coordinators, mentors, coaches and trusted adults for our youth clients. Youth advocates assess the strengths and the needs of each youth, then coordinate and monitor restorative activities, treatment plans, and other interdisciplinary care, while ensuring that court-mandated requirements are also met. On any given day, youth advocates may perform intake interviews, check in with clients, meet with parents, arrange resources, and complete reports and data entry.
