What I'm looking for
At TOUCHSTONE HEALTH AND SERVICES, I provide individual, family, and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I use evidence-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive practices, and develop treatment plans following comprehensive assessments.
I also conduct risk assessments and safety planning, coordinate care with multidisciplinary teams and community partners, and maintain a caseload of approximately 40 clients while meeting documentation and agency standards.
At COMMUNITY BRIDGES, I completed behavioral health assessments and service plans for people in crisis, inpatient, and transition programs. I coordinated care with the interdisciplinary team and families, documented services, and coordinated discharges.
At SOUTHWEST KEY PROGRAMS, I provided mental health assessments and counseling interventions for youths in the Unaccompanied Minors program. I monitored and documented their well-being, developed therapeutic plans, and supported transfers and reunification planning.
