Position Structure & Caseload Growth

Schedule & Caseload Development:

Employment will begin on a part-time basis as you establish your clinical foundation within the organization. Please note that scheduled hours will depend on the volume of incoming referrals and your active client caseload; therefore, a minimum number of weekly hours cannot be guaranteed.

Transition to Full-Time:

Hours and total compensation will increase in proportion to your caseload and total number of billable units each week. Once you consistently maintain a caseload that meets the organization’s full-time standard of 30 billable units per week, the position will formally transition to full-time status, making you eligible for Griffith Centers’ full-time benefits package.

Responsibilities:

• Provide individual and family therapy in an in-office setting.
• Develop and implement treatment plans and progress documentation.
• Collaborate with supervisors, case managers, and community partners.
• Maintain compliance with agency and Medicaid standards.
• Participate in staff meetings, training, and multidisciplinary case reviews.

Requirements:

• Master’s degree in Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, or Social Work.
• Active Colorado license or license candidate status (LPCC, MFT, or LSW).
• Experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and families preferred.
• Strong commitment to trauma-informed and culturally competent care.
• Ability to work evenings and weekends as part of a full-time schedule.
• Must pass a background check and qualify for Medicaid credentialing.

Employment with Griffith Centers is "at-will." Except as may be required by state law, employment with Griffith Centers is at-will, meaning that either you or Griffith Centers may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, subject only to applicable law. All employees may be subject to an initial evaluation period of approximately 90 days; however, this initial evaluation does not guarantee any term of employment, and the employer may exercise the right to end their work relationship with the company for any reason. Completion of the introductory period does not alter the at-will nature of employment.
