NOW HIRING:

Associate Therapist

Qualifications: Master’s degree in social work, mental health counseling, marriage & family therapy, or a related clinical field. Indiana associate-level license or license-eligible — LSW, LMHCA, or LMFTA (or eligible to obtain).

Compensation: Competitive W-2 compensation — $35–$50/hour.

Hours: Flexible schedule and a manageable, supportive caseload calibrated to your development as a clinician.

Location: Home-based, serving families across Ignite’s Indiana service area of 18 counties.

About Ignite Families:

Ignite Families is a Joint Commission–accredited, community-based child-welfare agency serving families across Indiana. We are known for solving the tough problems and for showing up for families others find hard to serve — with multilingual and ASL-capable services and a team that genuinely supports one another.

What You’ll Do:

  • Provide home- and community-based therapeutic services to children and families involved with child welfare.
  • Complete assessments, develop and update treatment plans, and deliver evidence-based interventions.
  • Maintain timely, accurate documentation to DCS and Joint Commission standards.
  • Collaborate with the family’s team and your supervisor, and participate in case staffings.
  • Carry a manageable caseload calibrated to your development as a clinician.

What We Offer:

  • Provided clinical supervision toward your independent license under our board-approved Clinical Director — your supervised hours count toward LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT.
  • Experience the full continuum of care supporting children and families from crisis to reunification.
  • Opportunity to learn beyond the counseling room, working alongside professionals in Family Preservation, Father Engagement, Domestic Violence Advocacy, and community-based behavioral health.
  • A growing organization where your voice matters, your development is intentional, and your work helps shape the future of services.
  • A multilingual, ASL-capable, Joint Commission–accredited environment with strong documentation and training support.

Requirements:

  • A heart for families and an interest in home- and community-based clinical work.
  • Valid Indiana driver’s license, reliable insured vehicle, and clean driving record (the role involves travel to families).
  • Successful DCS-required background checks (state, national, child protection, sex offender registry) and current mandated-reporter status.
  • Bilingual or ASL skills a plus — Spanish, Burmese, French, Swahili, Lingala, and ASL are especially valued.

Ignite Families is an equal opportunity employer. Veteran & Minority Owned. We celebrate the diversity of the families we serve and the team that serves them.

Common Questions:

Do I have to be fully licensed?

No. This position is specifically designed for associates and MSW graduates working toward full licensure. Clinical supervision is provided and satisfies Indiana LCSW and LMHCA board requirements.

What does the caseload look like?

DCS-referred children, parents, and families. Individual therapy, family therapy, and diagnostic assessments. Real, meaningful clinical work that builds a stronger resume than most agency roles.

Who provides supervision?

We contract with a licensed clinical supervisor through a formal, accredited supervision agreement. Individual and group supervision is provided weekly and fully satisfies Indiana licensing board requirements.

Is this a 1099 or W-2 position?

This is a 1099 independent contractor role at 20–25 hours per week, giving you flexibility to set your own schedule around client availability.
