Classroom Therapist
The Classroom Therapist provides therapeutic mental health, case management, and consultation services to children grades 6-12 and their families at James Baldwin Academy. The Therapist provides assessments, as well as individual, group, and/or family therapy, and assists in the creation and implementation of individual behavioral plans for each child. In addition, the therapist facilitates the understanding of clinical issues with the classroom staff and aids in creating a therapeutic milieu within a non-public school setting.
Seneca supports clinicians towards licensure and beyond. We provide individual and group supervision, regular clinical case conferences, and licensure and renewal courses led by field experts. Expenses such as outside training or licensure fees can be mitigated through your clinical training stipend, and you will receive a $4000 salary increase upon getting licensed. Looking to expand your clinical skills even more? Seneca’s Professional Development Scholarship awards employees with tuition reimbursement of up to $2500 each year for certifications in areas such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, or Spanish for mental health practitioners. Training and promotional opportunities in the agency are abundant, and Seneca is committed to helping you advance in your career!
Seneca’s comprehensive employee benefits package ensures that you are just as supported outside of work. We provide 75% of your medical premium, and full coverage for dental, vision, chiropractic, acupuncture, long-term disability, and life insurance. We also cover 50% of premiums for dependents. Our fully-paid Employee Assistance Program provides mental health support as well as work and life services, and you will accrue 5 weeks of paid time off every year.
