Your Opportunity:
This position offers an exciting opportunity for an experienced mental health professional to permanently join the interdisciplinary team working at the TIES Program.

The MHT will deliver group-based intervention utilizing a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic approach. Many clients you’ll be working with are looking to advance their personal recovery journey through learning and applying emotion regulation skills and participating in an insight orientated process group.

As such, you will be able to implement a wide range of DBT, CBT, ACT treatment interventions and develop collaborative comprehensive recovery/treatment plans, monitor progress and update care plans based on client outcomes, team recommendations, and goal attainment. The MHT is also expected to have an in-depth understanding of the Addictions and Mental Health referral pathway for assessment and care coordination as appropriate. Our team focuses heavily on enhancing clinical skills for ongoing high-quality care, with an emphasis on training, clinical supervision, and team building.
