Great Circle has an opening for a dynamic, energetic Group Therapist for our residential program located at the Edgewood Children Center campus in St. Louis, MO. At Great Circle, we achieve miracles every day. Our 24/7 treatment program provides a loving, caring environment in which children receive positive reinforcement. This helps improve self-esteem and leads to the development of positive relationships. When children form trusting, caring relationships with adults, they feel safe and become secure enough to discover talents and strengths in themselves and create positive, productive lives.
We take great care of our employees and in return, we expect a high work ethic, professionalism and collaboration with treatment team members statewide. This person is responsible for the development, implementation, facilitation and administration of psychotherapeutic and psycho-educational counseling groups. This includes substance abuse, anger management, relationship skills, teen issues and general abuse. The Group Therapist will also provide parent education to families of residents. The Group Therapist participates in the treatment of residents in relationship to their milieu and collaborates with the treatment team in milieu planning.

Preferably some experience in residential treatment, child welfare, or mental health setting.
