Rising Star Sped Academy is seeking an experienced Mental Health Clinician to support students receiving Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) in a counseling-enriched setting on a school campus. Students may be receiving Level III ERMHS, which includes daily intensive therapeutic services, as well as Level II ERMHS, which is typically weekly individual counseling.

Reporting to the school leader & receiving coaching from the clinical supervisor, the Mental Health Clinician will provide psychotherapeutic interventions, behavioral supports, and mental health treatment services including counseling, consultation, treatment and case management for students receiving ERMHS.
The counselor will support students at both of our school sites, Hayward and San Jose.
