Description
Job Title: Family Therapist
Location: Chicago, IL Job Type: Full-Time Reports to: Family Therapy Supervisor| Direct Reports: none
About Us:
God Restoring Order (GRO) Community is a mental healthcare provider that specializes in trauma recovery services for males of color ages 5 and up. GRO services are grounded in an understanding of the neurological, biological and psychological effects of trauma. GRO services include mental health and wellness, stress management, and community outreach.
Position Summary:
GRO Community is building a team that meets families where they are. This is a home and community-based role for a clinician who believes that engagement is treatment. The Family Therapist will carry a focused caseload and clinical approach and draw from a range of evidence-based and home-based models — including Functional Family Therapy (FFT) — to fit the intervention to the family rather than the other way around.
If you're a clinician who is persistent, creative, relationally skilled, and energized by complex family work, this role is built for you.
Key Responsibilities:
What You'll Do
Provide home- and community-based family therapy to a caseload of 10–15 families across the Chicagoland area.
Deliver intervention drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities, including Functional Family Therapy (FFT) and other home-based, family-centered models, matched to each family's needs.
Engage families relentlessly and flexibly — meeting in homes, schools, and community settings, and at times that work for the family.
Conduct assessment, treatment planning, individual and family sessions, crisis support, safety planning, and community linkage.
Collaborate with schools, courts, child welfare, and other systems involved with the family.
Participate actively in team consultation, supervision, and ongoing model training.
Our Clinical Approach
We are trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and family-centered. We prioritize relational flexibility over compliance-driven, office-based models, and we treat persistence, creativity, and accountability as core clinical skills. You'll have the autonomy to exercise clinical judgment — and the team and supervision structure to back you up.
Caseload & Autonomy
Focused caseload of 10–15 families to allow for depth and intensity of engagement.
Significant autonomy over scheduling and day-to-day clinical decision-making.
A mobile, community-based workday rather than a fixed office schedule.
Competencies:
Clinical Knowledge – Strong understanding of mental health conditions, treatment approaches, and therapeutic interventions.
Assessment & Treatment Planning – Ability to assess client needs and develop effective Individual Treatment Plans using Illinois Assessment tools.
Communication Skills – Strong verbal and written communication skills for client interactions, documentation, and collaboration with stakeholders.
Empathy & Client-Centered Approach – Ability to build trust and provide compassionate person-centered care.
Crisis Intervention – Skill in handling crises and implementing de-escalation strategies when needed.
Advocacy & Community Engagement – Ability to support clients in accessing resources and navigating community services.
Problem-Solving – Strong critical thinking and decision-making skills to address client needs effectively.
Ethical & Professional Conduct – Adherence to confidentiality, professional ethics, and state regulations.
Adaptability & Flexibility – Ability to adjust approaches based on client needs and evolving situations.
Collaboration & Teamwork – Effectively works with multidisciplinary teams, supervisors, and external partners.
Work Setting:
Hybrid (Per Diem)
Qualifications:
Required
Master's degree in social work, counseling, psychology, marriage and family therapy, or a closely related behavioral health field.
Illinois clinical licensure (LSW, LPC, LCSW, or LCPC). Associate-level clinicians (LSW/LPC) working toward independent licensure are strongly encouraged to apply.
Meets Illinois Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) qualifications. Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and willingness to travel throughout the Chicagoland service area.
Strong engagement skills with families experiencing conflict, instability, or crisis.
Preferred
Training or experience in Functional Family Therapy (FFT) or other home based/family-centered models.
Experience with youth and families involved in schools, probation, child welfare, or behavioral health systems.
Crisis intervention and safety planning experience.
Bilingual (Spanish/English) a plus.
What We Offer:
Competitive salary and benefits package.
A supportive and dynamic work environment committed to social impact.
Opportunities for professional development and growth.
Compensation:
Fee-for-service
52.00 per billable hour
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should submit a resume and cover letter detailing their relevant experience to [email protected].
