The Supportive Care Clinic is expanding and actively seeking a licensed clinical social worker or licensed professional counselor for the role of Behavioral Mental Health (BMH) therapist as well as to act as the interdisciplinary psychosocial clinician in Supportive Care Clinic, an outpatient palliative oncology clinic for children with cancer and their families who sustain significant challenges to their quality of life. The BMH therapist will provide evidence based individual and group therapy focused on a broad range of conditions, including anxiety, mood disorders, physical and somatic conditions. In addition, the therapist will conduct interdisciplinary visits with other members of the Supportive Care team (MD, NP, psychologist).
