West Des Moines, United States Des Moines University Full time

At DMU you will make a meaningful contribution to the dynamic future of Medicine and Health Sciences. Join our Student Counseling team as we expand our efforts to offer a comprehensive array of psychological services aimed at empowering, supporting, and assisting students in achieving their personal, professional, and academic goals. We are currently seeking expressions of interest for the position of a .8 FTE Staff Counselor.

The mission of the Student Counseling Center (SCC) is to provide a range of psychological services that serve to empower, support, and assist students in the pursuit of their personal, professional, and academic endeavors. In pursuing the mission of the organization, the SCC makes policies, decisions, and strategic plans in alignment with the following values: integrity and ethical practice, social justice and multicultural competence, holistic approach, and collaborative partnerships. The Staff Counselor will be responsible for providing psychological services to students in all University programs, including intake assessments, individual and couples counseling, crisis intervention, and providing supportive documentation for students seeking academic accommodations. In addition, the Staff Counselor will provide consultation and outreach programming to the campus community. The SCC provides clinical services in-person, via phone, and through a secure video platform. Due to the need for an in-office presence during business hours in the event of in-person client emergencies, this position is ineligible for regular telework. Occasional telework may be approved in rare circumstances (e.g., inclement weather).

What you'll do:

  • Provide direct clinical services such as individual and couples therapy, crisis intervention, and evaluations for academic accommodations (an estimated 60-65% of time will be spent delivering clinical services, though this may vary, depending on time of year).
  • Maintain availability one evening per week to accommodate early evening appointments.
  • Perform risk assessment and crisis intervention; maintain on-call shifts during business hours to accommodate emergent student needs.
  • Facilitate referrals to community providers for students requiring specialized or intensive long-term treatment.

What we're looking for:

  • Master's or doctoral degree in counseling or clinical psychology, marriage and family therapy, mental health counseling, or related field.
  • At least two years post-degree experience required. Experience providing psychological services in a university counseling center preferred.
  • Current license in the state of Iowa preferred. Consideration will be given to candidates who have obtained temporary licensure status; candidate must obtain full licensure within 6 months of hire.
