Anger Management Specialist (Therapist)

This role qualifies as a Center of Excellence (CoE) position, which provides clinicians with a structured pathway to develop expertise in a specific program, niche, or service line while maintaining a reduced caseload. The CoE model is designed to foster both professional growth and organizational innovation by allowing clinicians to dedicate time to program development, leadership, and specialized service expansion. As clinicians progress within the CoE framework, they can further reduce their caseload expectations in alignment with their program’s growth and impact. Our goal is to empower all staff to explore their passion areas, refine their leadership skills, and contribute meaningfully to the advancement of our organization and the field of mental health.

We are seeking a specialist to lead our 8-week Anger Management Program, designed to support individuals in developing healthier responses to anger, frustration, and conflict. This role involves facilitating individual and group sessions, implementing evidence-based interventions, and helping participants build emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring, communication, and coping skills. The program is tailored to support a variety of populations, including youth, adults, and professionals in high-stress environments.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape a growing service line that meets community needs and strengthens emotional wellness across diverse settings.

• Maintain accurate and timely documentation in accordance with agency and regulatory requirements.
• Partner with schools, employers, courts, and community organizations to expand program access.
• Adapt program delivery to meet the needs of diverse populations and learning styles.
• Participate in team meetings, consultation groups, and training opportunities.
