Lead individual and family therapy for youth in residential care, with a clinical team behind you.

You will lead care for residential youth and their families as part of a clinical team that shares groups, coverage and on-call, so you are never the only clinician carrying a hard case. We welcome licensed clinicians (LMHC, LCSW, LMFT) and registered interns, and we provide interns with supervision toward Florida licensure at no cost.

Seamark Ranch provides residential care for children in crisis, ages 10 to 18, along with counseling for their families. Our kids live in family-style homes with house parents, attend our on-campus education center, and work with horses and livestock in our equine and agriculture programs.

This is an exciting opportunity to be a critical member of a residential care team, serving kids through several modalities, including equine therapy, experiential therapy and DBT groups. You will work closely with house parents and teachers, and we offer opportunities to grow your skills, including training to become an equine therapist and continuing education opportunities.
