(Revisited 4/25) Graduating MSW students, a nationally respected outpatient treatment program in Bellevue, WA. is looking for an MSW graduate to work as a clinical outpatient therapist. Commence forwarded message:

The position will start as part-time, but should increase to full-time fairly quickly.  The therapist will work along side experienced therapists in running treatment groups for adolescents and adults with sexual behavior problems, as well as learn to perform psychosexual evaluations.  Training will be provided so that the therapist can provide individual therapy with adolescents and adults.  Assistance in getting licensed and certified as a sex offender treatment provider will also be provided.  This position is a wonderful opportunity for an MSW graduate or soon to be graduate to gain entry into a challenging but very rewarding career in the field of sexual abuse. We are a small program with a total of four therapists, and I plan to retire in the next year or two and would like to train a replacement therapist during that time.
