Associate Therapist (Virginia) Virtual Care | Here Now Health

Associate Therapist (Virginia) – Virtual Care | Here Now Health

About Here Now Health:

Here Now Health is the first virtual clinic built specifically for children and families impacted by the child welfare system. We deliver trauma-informed, high-touch care to Medicaid-covered youth navigating foster care, adoption, kinship placements, and juvenile justice. Our model prioritizes consistency, trust, and accessibility in systems where they are too often missing.

Role Summary:

As an Associate Therapist with Here Now Health, you’ll provide compassionate, trauma-informed mental health care to youth aged 5–26 and their caregivers. You’ll serve clients experiencing instability, multiple placements, and complex trauma. Our care model prioritizes relational continuity, caregiver collaboration, and consistency — especially for those most often excluded from traditional care.

Here Now Health provides clinical supervision toward independent licensure and offers a supportive environment designed for professional growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deliver virtual 1:1 therapy to youth and caregivers using evidence-informed, trauma-focused modalities.
   
• Conduct clinical assessments, create collaborative care plans, and track progress over time using measurement-based care.
   
• Build relational continuity across transitions, serving clients through placement changes or life events.
   
• Partner with non-clinical Care Advocates to coordinate wraparound support and access to services.
   
• Offer caregiver support sessions to strengthen family stability and improve outcomes.
   
• Maintain thorough and timely documentation aligned with Medicaid and telehealth standards.
   
• Participate in weekly supervision, team meetings, and ongoing training sessions.
   
• Provide support during moments of escalation or crisis following trauma-informed best practices.

What Sets This Role Apart:

• Low caseloads that prioritize depth, trust, and engagement over volume.
   
• Serve youth and caregivers often excluded from traditional models of care.
   
• Join a team where lived experience in foster care, kinship care, or system involvement is valued and centered.
   
• Receive clinical supervision and mentorship toward full licensure.
   
• Contribute to a care model that integrates behavioral health, care coordination, and advocacy.
   

What You Need:

• Master’s degree in Social Work.
   
• Active provisional or associate-level license in Virginia (LMSW) — clinical supervision provided.
   
• Experience providing therapy or support to children, adolescents, or families (internship experience counts).
   
• Familiarity with trauma-informed and culturally responsive care.
   
• Interest in serving youth involved in foster care, adoption, or juvenile justice systems.
   
• Comfort working virtually and using telehealth platforms.
   
• Commitment to relational, equitable, and person-centered care.
   

Bonus: Bilingual (Spanish or other languages), multi-state eligibility, or prior Medicaid experience.

We’d Especially Love to Hear From You If:

• You have lived experience in foster care, kinship care, or as a system-impacted caregiver.
   
• You thrive in a mission-driven, startup-style environment and believe all youth deserve consistent, trauma-informed care.
