Psychiatric Social Worker (ACSW/AMFT)

Are you passionate about making a real impact in the lives of adults living with severe and persistent mental health challenges? We’re looking for dedicated Associate Clinicians (ACSW/AMFT) to join our field-based team. This is a unique opportunity to build deep clinical experience while working with a collaborative care team to support one of the most underserved populations in Los Angeles County.

What You’ll Do

• Provide individual therapy (majority of the role) to adults ages 18–64 experiencing serious mental health conditions including psychosis, schizophrenia, and co-occurring substance use.
• Meet clients where they are — in homes, transitional housing, or community settings (no encampment outreach).
• Support crisis intervention, discharge planning, and continuity of care.
• Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team (social workers, case managers, psychiatrists, and more) to provide coordinated, holistic services.
• Maintain accurate documentation and contribute toward a weekly quota of 35 billable service hours, including therapy, case management, and consultations.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Career Growth: Working in this field builds the skillset and confidence to succeed in nearly any future clinical role.
• Team Culture: Be part of a highly collaborative group that supports each other as much as it supports clients.
• Impactful Work: Deliver intensive services that truly change lives for some of the most vulnerable individuals in our community.
• Stability: Full-time, Monday–Friday schedule with no nights or weekends required.

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s Degree in Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy, or Clinical Psychology.
• Active California BBS registration (ACSW or AMFT required; license eligible encouraged).
• Valid driver’s license and auto insurance (field-based travel required).
• Passion for working with adults experiencing severe and persistent mental illness.
• Strong communication, teamwork, and crisis intervention skills.
• Bonus: Bilingual in Spanish.

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay Range: $30–$35/hr DOE
• Business casual work environment.
• Comprehensive training, supervision by an LCSW, and ongoing professional development.

Schedule

• Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
• 30-minute lunch break
• No weekends or evenings
