Seeking an enthusiastic, client-centered art therapist or dance-movement therapist to join our adjunctive therapy team. We have a large, multidisciplinary team of clinicians who provide therapeutic programming throughout the hospital serving adults with acute psychiatric illness. In this position, the therapist plans and conducts a variety of evidence-based psychotherapeutic and counseling interventions that support the wellness and recovery of individuals with mental illness. During the week, our therapists facilitate approximately three groups per day in accordance with trauma-informed and recovery-based principles. Although we align mostly with the therapist's creative arts modality, they facilitate verbal therapy or activity-based sessions with patients with acute psychiatric illness to support their wellness and recovery. Adjunctive Therapists also facilitate individual sessions and complete assessments.

Adjunctive therapy staff participate as part of a multi-disciplinary treatment team to analyze individual patient’s treatment areas and projects the prescribed treatment. The therapist is expected to observe, assess, record and report patient behavior and relate it to patient's progress in treatment via documentation and verbal communication, and complete proper clinical documentation in accordance with policies and procedures. AT Staff participate in weekly meetings and group supervision, assist in the performance improvement process and engage in the planning, developing, and carrying out of therapeutic and activity-based programming. AT Staff create an atmosphere of warmth, caring, and unconditional positive regard toward all patients and staff.
