What You Will Be Doing
Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is an evidence-based practice which utilizes intensive, ecological 
interventions directed at adolescents and their families, with the collaboration of community-based 
resources such as caseworkers, probation officers, and school professionals. Multisystemic Therapy for 
Problem Sexual Behavior (MST-PSB) is a clinical adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy that is targeted to 
adolescents who have committed sexual offenses or demonstrated persistent sexual behaviors which 
present a risk to themselves or others. Both MST and MST-PSB have been proven effective at decreasing 
problem antisocial behaviors and reducing the need for out-of-home placements for troubled youth.
Working as an MST and MST-PSB Therapist, you will provide model-adherent, intensive, in-home clinical 
treatment to a diverse population of adolescents with delinquent behaviors and/or problem sexual 
behavior, along with their families. You will provide confidential and culturally responsive mental health 
and substance use therapy to diverse youth aged 12-17 who are diagnosed with severe emotional 
disturbance. You will demonstrate passion and cultural competence working with racially marginalized 
families, diverse communities, and LGBTQ youth. In this position, you will develop and document clear 
clinical conceptualizations and treatment plans that are individualized and measurable, and developed in 
collaboration with the client/family and others involved on the care team. You must maintain high
