Evolve Treatment Centers offers cutting-edge intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential programs for teens ages 12 to 17 struggling with substance use and mental health disorders. We use evidence-based treatment modalities, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), as well as several experiential therapies. The Associate Therapist training program provides a unique opportunity for clinicians to gain experience working with teens facing acute mental health issues, as well as understanding residential and intensive outpatient settings.

The Associate Therapist will provide clinical support to the residential and outpatient programs by completing Biopsychosocial Assessments, acting as a Primary Therapist to clients as assigned, and providing Primary Therapist coverage as assigned. Primary Therapist duties include, but are not limited to, running DBT Skills Training groups, providing individual and family therapy, and completing all clinical documentation within the required timelines. This individual should be eager to learn and comfortable with a fast-paced environment. Clinical supervision will be provided, as well as several other training and shadowing opportunities. The Southern California Training Tack will be made up of 3 associates--- one of which will specialize in comprehensive DBT treatment (please specify which opportunity you would like to apply to)
