Job Description
About Friends and Mentors Inc.
Friends and Mentors Inc. is a Brockton-based group practice and youth-serving nonprofit dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and families thrive. Through the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI), our outpatient program delivers culturally responsive, evidence-based therapy to MassHealth-eligible youth and families. Clinicians work alongside therapeutic mentors, family partners, and community programs — a true team backing every case.

We're hiring Master level clinicians to provide individual, family, and group therapy to children, teens, and their families. The ideal candidate brings a warm, engaging presence, strong clinical judgment, and a genuine investment in the youth of the Brockton community.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct diagnostic assessments and deliver individual, family, and group therapy tailored to each client's needs.
- Develop treatment plans collaboratively with clients, with measurable, time-specific goals grounded in medical necessity.
- Provide crisis intervention and coordinate care with internal therapeutic mentors and external providers (schools, PCPs, DCF, ED follow-up) as needed.
- Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation — progress notes, assessments, treatment plans, discharge summaries — within required timelines.
- Manage your caseload proactively: follow up after missed sessions, document those efforts, and protect continuity of care.
- Submit billing and administrative documentation by the end of each business day.
Qualifications
Required
- Master's degree in social work, mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy, or a related clinical field.
- Massachusetts license: LICSW, LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT. Pre-licensed clinicians are considered with an active supervision plan.
- Experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and families.
- Comfort with EHR-based documentation and standard office technology.
Preferred
- Experience within the CBHI service array (Outpatient, IHT, TM, In-Home Behavioral Services).
- Bilingual (Cape Verdean Creole, Portuguese, Spanish, or Haitian Creole).
- Trauma-informed training (TF-CBT, ARC, CPP, or similar).
- Experience with first-generation, immigrant, or BIPOC families.
What We Offer
- W-2 employment with compensation commensurate with license and experience.
- Hybrid schedule with telehealth flexibility.
- Free clinical supervision toward independent licensure.
- Manageable caseloads designed to protect clinician wellbeing.
- A mission-driven team that genuinely supports its people.
- Benefits — health, dental, PTO
