Primary Therapist – Mental Health &… at Basepoint… · Forney

Help Young People Find Hope. Build a Career That Makes a Difference.

Are you a licensed therapist who wants to do meaningful clinical work and see the impact you're making in the lives of young people and their families?

At BasePoint, we believe every teen and young adult deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and build a brighter future. We're looking for a compassionate, clinically driven Primary Therapist to join our Forney team and help adolescents and young adults navigate mental health challenges.

This isn't just about providing therapy. It's about building meaningful therapeutic relationships, helping patients develop skills to navigate life's challenges, and partnering with families during some of their most difficult moments.

If you're passionate about adolescent mental health, enjoy collaborating with other clinical professionals, and want to be part of a team committed to making a difference, we'd love to meet you.

What Makes This Opportunity Meaningful?

As a Primary Therapist, you'll have the opportunity to provide comprehensive clinical care in our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

You'll work with patients throughout their treatment journey, from admission through discharge, helping them develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and make measurable progress toward their treatment goals.

Here's what your day-to-day impact will look like:

• Build meaningful connections. Provide individual therapy to adolescents and young adults navigating emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges.

• Lead engaging group therapy. Facilitate process-oriented and curriculum-based group sessions that encourage connection, personal growth, and practical coping skills.

• Strengthen families. Engage parents and caregivers in the treatment process, collaborate on family therapy needs, and help families better support their loved ones.

• Guide the treatment journey. Develop individualized treatment plans, monitor clinical progress, and coordinate discharge and aftercare planning.

• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team. Partner with psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and other behavioral health professionals to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care.

• Make clinical decisions that matter. Apply your assessment, crisis intervention, and clinical judgment skills to support patient safety and effective treatment.

• Celebrate meaningful progress. Help patients and families recognize growth, build resilience, and prepare for continued success beyond treatment.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a therapist who brings clinical skill, compassion, accountability, and a genuine commitment to helping young people succeed.

Required Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Counseling, Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, or a related behavioral health field.

• Current Texas clinical license in one of the following categories:

  • Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

  • Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-Associate)

  • Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

  • Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)

  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)

• Ability to successfully complete required CPR and Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) training before patient contact.

• Ability to meet applicable background screening requirements.

We'd Love It If You Also Have:

• At least one year of post-licensure clinical experience.

• Experience working with adolescents or young adults.

• Experience in a PHP, IOP, residential treatment, inpatient psychiatric, or other behavioral health setting.

• Experience facilitating group therapy.

• Strong clinical assessment, treatment planning, crisis intervention, and documentation skills.

Don't have PHP or IOP experience? If you have a passion for adolescent mental health and meet our required qualifications, we encourage you to apply.

More Than a Job. A Chance to Change Lives.

Some of the most meaningful moments in behavioral healthcare aren't always the biggest ones.

It's the patient who begins to believe in themselves again. The family that learns how to communicate differently. The young person who discovers they have the tools to face tomorrow.

Those are the moments that make this work matter.

At BasePoint, we approach every patient and family with one guiding question:

"What Would I Want for My Family?"

If that philosophy resonates with you, and you're ready to bring your clinical skills to a team that believes in the power of hope, healing, and human connection, we want to hear from you.
