Adventure Therapist

 

If you are a team-oriented, child- and adolescent-focused therapist who also enjoys time outdoors in nature, blend the best of both worlds and join our dynamic nonprofit where we offer truly innovative therapy for kids, adolescents and families!

Adventure Works of DeKalb County, Inc. in DeKalb, Illinois is nationally accredited in community-based outdoor behavioral healthcare and adventure therapy. We are hiring W-2 therapists with professional licenses (supervisory or independent). Our group practice model gives you the feel of private practice while being part of a team that serves everyone in the community -- not just those who have private healthcare coverage. Because of our generous sliding scale fee schedule,  we've never turned anyone away for an inability to pay in 15 years (but you still get paid)!

In addition to competitive pay, you'll receive healthcare reimbursement for qualified costs, paid time off, in-house adventure therapy training and supervision toward the Certificate in Clinical Adventure Therapy through the Association of Experiential Education, as well as an annual professional development stipend for external trainings.

 

Please apply if you can make a commitment at one of these levels:

  • Part Time = 15 client hour per week

  • Full Time = 25 client hour per week

We look forward to meeting you!​ Please apply using the link below, and for any questions, please email Liz@adventureworksdekalb.org
