Responsible for providing ongoing substance use counseling and potentially mental health counseling to clients with histories of criminal justice involvement in a Fortune Society managed transitional housing residence for persons with behavioral health concerns. The role will provide counseling services through Fortune's OASAS-licensed 822 substance use outpatient clinic, and facilitating referrals to the OMH-licensed Article-31 mental health outpatient clinic. The position is envisioned as providing services primarily in Long Island City and Bronx location and therefore necessitating prior experience.
Core Competencies:
Mission Fit
This person shall demonstrate an interest in, and talent for, working with persons with criminal justice system involvement. The successful candidate will have an understanding of the impacts exposure to the criminal justice system may have had on clients, and demonstrate commitment to helping them overcome these difficulties. The successful candidate will also have demonstrated a commitment to using respectful, constructive means of communication when interacting with clients and colleagues. The individual will utilize a strengths-based, person-centered model and endorse the concept of looking for the best in people, rather than judging them by their worst decision(s).

The individual shall also have some practical experience treating individuals with behavioral health disorders and SUD through individual and group therapy, ideally with evidence-based practices. Deep awareness of principles and techniques of motivational interviewing ('MI') are required. The ideal candidate will also have experience working with mental health and treating it as a co-occurring diagnosis.
Clinical Engagement & Productivity
This person shall demonstrate an ability to engage clients in treatment and build a meaningful therapeutic relationship. This includes reluctant clients with the aim of establishing regular attendance to appointments. The person will develop a stable caseload and produce billable activities equal or in excess to the productivity standards established for clinicians.
Time Management & Documentation
This position requires solid time management skills as the person must juggle making and keeping client schedules that can change on short notice, completing paperwork accurately and staying current with various ancillary tasks. The person will have good computer skills, familiarity with using an electronic health record system and minimum 40+ wpm typing skills in order to facilitate completing all documentation correctly and in a timely manner.
