Job description

CGRC's Family Based Services is a 32-week process. Families are assigned a team of clinicians who work closely with clients in the home, school and community to address not only the child's emotional struggles but also the larger systemic issues contributing to troublesome behavior.

• Utilizes assessments to develop effective and timely treatment focus with each client family. Provides family therapy, parent sessions and individual child/adult sessions and incorporates them into case conceptualization and treatment planning after competency assessment is completed with supervisor.
