Shelterwood Academy is a fully accredited Christ-Centered Therapeutic Boarding School for 12-18 year old teenagers, who are encountering emotional, behavioral, academic, and family struggles.
We are currently looking to add an experienced therapist (preference toward LCSW, LPC, or LMFT ) on our growing clinical team. The therapist will provide professional therapy services, including individual, group, and family therapy, in addition to crisis management as needed. Our therapists work as part of an interdisciplinary treatment team for the client and works closely with his/her parents as well as collaborating with direct care, academic, and recreational coaching staff who may be involved in a client’s treatment.
Shelterwood is a fun, eclectic, and creative organization. Our team of educators, mentor staff, and therapists are excited to serve, learn, and to work within an energized faith-based community. Shelterwood is a non-profit organization that values seeing families restored and supporting our staff and their families. The facilities are located on 200+ acres of beautiful wooded hills in Independence, just 30 minutes from the excitement of Kansas City, Missouri. There are excellent school districts, neighborhoods, and church communities within a 10-minute drive of campus.
Applicants should be motivated toward professional development and joining a Christ-centered team of professionals that is committed to clinical excellence.
