Counselor

The counselor is responsible for ensuring the accurate completion of all required patient documentation, including treatment plans and progress notes, in compliance with federal and state standards. This role involves providing direct patient care through orientation, crisis intervention, group counseling sessions, and arranging necessary community referrals.

Minimum requirements vary significantly by counselor level (I, ii, or iii), ranging from an associate's degree with specific certifications (Like caac) to a master's degree with advanced certifications (Like caadc, lcsw, lpc). Experience requirements also scale with the level, sometimes requiring one year of clinical experience for lower levels.
