Therapist - Older Adolescent

WHO WE ARE:
Annually serving over 1,400 youth and families, Lawrence Hall is a community-based organization committed to helping Chicago's youth, families, and communities heal from the adverse effects of childhood trauma. For more than 150 years, Lawrence Hall has been delivering high-quality care throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and is a statewide leader in highly effective, evidence-based, and innovative therapeutic treatment. Their core programs-Child and Family Treatment Center, Therapeutic Day School, Creative Therapies, Foster Care, Transitional/Independent Living Program, Workforce Development, and Community Wellness-have met the changing and complex needs of youth and families by not only becoming more community based, but also by developing more preventative programs that help curb violence in Chicago's communities.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
Under the direct supervision of the Clinical Services Manager or designated supervisor, the Older Adolescent Program (OAP) Therapist carries a caseload which includes youth in care aged 17-21 years old. The therapist is responsible for providing individual and group therapy services, including placement stabilization services, community based interventions, and in-home treatment. Due to the community based nature of the work, transportation of youth in agency or personal vehicles may be required. Treatment may also aim to help youth in care with the identification, development, and restoration of family and support networks. Treatment is trauma-focused, with common clinical concerns including treatment of trauma symptoms, attachment issues, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and reluctance/resistance to treatment. The therapist will also be involved with developing trainings and conducting consultation services with OAP employees to provide support & stabilization for the sites at which the youth reside. This position requires effective verbal communication with team members, community resources and young people/families, as well as ability to provide ongoing required written documentation. Therapist must have effective use of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook. Lawrence Hall fosters a culture built upon four core values: Respect, Empowerment, Safety, and Teamwork. These values are deeply embedded within our organization's philosophy of trauma-informed care and directly influence every position. Must be able to effectively use both verbal and physical crisis intervention skills and techniques with individuals six (6) through twenty-one (21) years of age. Physical intervention skills require the ability to kneel and return to standing without assistance. Therapist must also maintain flexibility to adjust work schedules according to needs of the program.
