Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless

Since 1985, Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless has dedicated its mission exclusively to providing services to people experiencing homelessness. AHCH provides a distinctive continuum of integrated care through outreach and site-based services to address the health-related causes and consequences of homelessness. Our vision is to live in a world that is just and without homelessness. We believe that homelessness is an issue that can be solved through access to quality health care, adequate and affordable housing, and a living wage.

We are looking for an engaged and integrated Behavioral Health Therapist to provide individual therapy, family therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, crisis intervention, and behavioral health assessments with a focus on alcohol use disorder and other related disorders in collaboration with AHCH Behavioral Health and Medical Teams.  The perfect candidate would have experience with treating a high needs population with serious mental illness and emotional disturbance. We want someone that loves our population and are open to those with LMSW who are looking for supervision hours to obtain their LCSW. 

Minimum qualifications: Master's Degree in Social Work, Professional Counseling, or Marriage and Family Counseling with eligibility for reciprocity for NM licensure as a LMSW, LMHC, LCSW, LPCC, or LMFT. One-year related experience and knowledge of behavioral health, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, and trauma.  

Preferred qualifications: Previous work with people experiencing homelessness or other under-served populations. Bilingual in Spanish/English. LADAC in New Mexico.
