The Residency Program at Scout provides residents opportunity to refine and grow their clinical skills in the post graduation, pre-licensed stage of their career while being a part of a team. If you are a pre licensed mental health professional seeking licensure (LMFT or LPC), and willing to pursue licensure in TN, we would love to consider you!
Residents are expected to build a caseload of 20 to 25 clinical hours per week. Additionally, residents are given other responsibilities within the practice to allow for development as professionals, not just as clinicians. Residents support the team as a group practice by committing 7-10 hours of work per week related to such tasks.
Specific benefits provided to residents include:
- Discounted supervision rates
- Weekly group and individual supervision
- Annual stipend for professional development
- Guidance pursuing licensure requirements, including exam study, hour acquisition,
documentation, etc.
- Professional development training, including weekly professional development time
- Team involvement and community with other residents
- Moderate autonomy in scheduling
- Incentives to continue professional growth and hit milestones in the licensing process.
While Christian faith integration is not required for clients, it is a component of the professional identity of those who are residents and practitioners at Scout, as well as training in marriage and family therapy/counseling, or at least interest in a systemic view. In this round of residents, we are particularly interested in, yet not limited to those who have a background or desire to work with younger children (6-11).
If you are interested in applying, please submit your cover letter, resume, and the contact information of three references to tyler@scoutcounseling.com.
Deadline for applying is Friday, September 15th, 2023.
