About Us:

God Restoring Order (GRO) Community is a mental healthcare provider that specializes in trauma recovery services for males of color ages 5 and up. GRO services are grounded in an understanding of the neurological, biological and psychological effects of trauma. GRO services include mental health and wellness, stress management, and community outreach.

Position Summary:

This is a relentless, high-impact role for a driven clinician ready to lead with heart, skill, and discipline.

As an IHBT Family Therapist, you will take on a hybrid role of therapist, case manager, advocate, community builder, and leader—with the goal of helping families heal and thrive.

• Serve as the primary therapist for the parent or guardian in the family unit

• Attend weekly group supervision and weekly individual supervision
• Complete weekly clinical checklists to ensure fidelity and reflect on skill-based implementation
