Therapist/Forensic Interviewer The therapist portion of this position provides outpatient therapy for clients ages 3 and up, the vast majority of whom are school-aged children. At the CARE House, we primarily serve clients who have been impacted by trauma, often some form of abuse. Our therapists use evidenced based treatment from Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, to Parent Child Interaction Therapy, to Problematic Sexual Behavior - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and many other modalities. It is important that we provide quality services; we would love a therapist who already has training in the models we use, but we are open to training the right person. Therapists at the CARE House are responsible for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, coordination of services, referrals, and termination of the clients on their caseload. Caseloads are capped for each therapists depending on various factors. The forensic interviewer side of the position interviews minors ages 3 to 18 and vulnerable adults, who are alleged victims of abuse/neglect or who have witnessed a crime. Forensic interviewers use research-based, nationally recognized protocols during the interview to assess victimization. Interviews are conducted in a manner that is legally sound and of a neutral, fact finding nature, and are coordinated to avoid duplicative interviewing. Forensic Interviewers are trained in a nationally recognized model and anyone not trained would be expected to complete training and pass testing at the next available training. The CARE House prides itself on working within a multidisciplinary team and so interviews are often conducted with members of that MDT observing. All interviews are audio and video recorded.
