About the Role
The Mental Health Counselor works within the interdisciplinary team to provide both mental health and addiction counseling. The basic functions of the Licensed Clinical Therapist are to provide assessments, treatments, psychotherapy, case management, and referrals to a broad range of clients, including those which are severely mentally ill and those dealing with adjustment issues. Individual, couples, family, and group therapy are available forms of treatment provided by Licensed Clinical Therapists. Clients can range in age from young children to the elderly. This position is responsible for assessing issues, and determining appropriate types and methods of treatment interventions, and implementing intervention methodologies.
TELEHEALTH- Clients may opt to have services provided via a live video conference to adult/child/adolescent populations using a HIPAA Compliant Platform similar to outpatient psychiatry. All staff are required to take an online telehealth training program if providing telehealth services. The telehealth program must meet all requirements to ensure that each clinician understands when virtual care is appropriate and when a client is best served with in-person care. Clinicians must demonstrate how to effectively communicate with virtual patients, be able to evaluate signs and symptoms for a client virtually and be able to use best practices when delivering virtual care.

About the Company
Vision: We create a community of people who have an improved quality of life.
Mission: We are committed to supporting YOU through your wellness journey by providing skills and no-cost
resources that you are not just surviving, but thriving.
Our vision is a clean, thriving, and unified Baltimore City:
Citizens of Baltimore will have access to services required to stabilize them in communities of their own
choice. This will occur by connecting individuals with resources, ensuring our youth have access to programs
that empower them to break generational trauma and stagnation. We hope to assist clients and our
community at large to identify and address barriers that will culminate change in behavior, change in
circumstances, confidence to address behavioral health issues, and self-awareness, not only in the youth
involved in our program but also in other communities we serve.
DMC Empowering Health Services has a mission to empower children and adults in Baltimore City communities with the transferable skills and intentional opportunities to grow, flourish and cultivate change through workforce development, financial literacy, peer mentorship and civic engagement activities. Although we have started out as a community empowerment organization, we have identified addressing our client’s behavioral health needs as a key activity to help us meet the mission of the organization. To that end and based on our client base we have chosen to expand services to incorporate a Outpatient Mental Health Clinic.
