You engage with peers and clients in a collaborative and curious manner and lean into approaching this meaningful work with willingness, vulnerability and good humor!
About the Work: CMC clinicians work in a collaborative, stimulating, and very supportive environment, providing individual and group therapy with the opportunity to provide couples and family treatment as well.

Clinicians also have the opportunity to train in CRAFT and the Invitation to Change (ITC) approaches in order to help support family members and communities surrounding people who struggle with substance use. Weekly team meetings are designed to foster collaboration and provide compassion, support, and ongoing training to clinical staff. Additionally, outside experts provide regular training and opportunities for additional training in areas of interest (e.g. evidence-based trauma treatments, ACT, EXRP).
