Associate Program Therapist - Center for Teens

Center for Teens is an exciting new outpatient facility providing comprehensive mentalhealth treatment exclusively for adolescents. It is our mission to address the rapidly growing adolescent mental health crisis with comprehensive, evidence –based treatment delivered by talented, highly-skilled, well-trained, compassionate therapists who care about adolescent mental health care as much as we do. We serve our clients with a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Traditional Outpatient Therapy, all DBT-aligned, measurement-based, and tailored to meet each individual client’s needs. Additionally, because outcome studies show that programs that involve families produce better treatment results than those that don’t, we include family throughout each teens’ treatment journey.  

Center for Teens supports our clinicians in the important work they do with highly competitive pay and benefits, comprehensive administrative support, a wealth of high-quality training and case consultation, supervision for provisionally licensed therapists, and state of the art facilities and technology. We are committed to caring for our cliniciansfirst because their well-being determines the quality of care our clients receive.
