Job Summary Newly graduated in the mental health field? Feeling overworked, stressed, and constantly anxious due to high, unrealistic caseloads? We'd love to meet with you to demonstrate our approach to providing mental health services.

We are in special need of those who are bilingual Spanish. Experience or desire to work with the child and transitional age youth populations is desired. New Masters-level graduates are encouraged to apply.

Services are provided in schools, via telehealth, and in Stirling's Van Nuys office. Most of our clients come from LAUSD schools we contract with to provide outpatient mental health services.

Clinicians provide intake assessments, diagnosis, treatment planning, clinical interventions, collaterals, discharges, case management (when needed), crisis management, and providing individual and family therapy. (No Wrap or FSP service!)
