  • Responsibilities

    We provide PAID virtual training and many of our therapeutic sessions are done virtually too. Some clients may require limited in-person sessions. We will work closely with the family to ensure everyone's safety according to CDC guidelines and provide you with PPE.

    We are seeking individuals who are interested in pursuing a long-term career in the Behavioral Health and/or Family Systems fields. As a BMS, your job is to assist your clients with self-regulation and learning the skills necessary for daily life. BMS providers who excel in this position are seeking personal and professional development within the mental health field. BMS providers need to be both highly independent and skilled in teamwork. Our BMS providers become well trained and experienced in problem-solving and meeting a variety of challenges on a daily basis. This is an entry-level position and is perfect for those with a goal of becoming a therapist. Many of our current therapists began as a BMS provider, stayed on through their Clinical Internship/Practicum, and then were hired as a Play Therapist.

    Job Description:
