Mental Health Therapist - Bilingual (Spanish/English)
About The Position
At Futures First, our values drive everything we do. We believe every child deserves a strong start, every caregiver deserves support, and every family deserves access to culturally responsive mental health care. This position plays a critical role in expanding our reach to Spanish-first-language families, ensuring that pregnant and postpartum mothers — and the children they nurture — receive linguistically and culturally affirming therapeutic support. Summary: The Bilingual Therapist provides mental health treatment to families with young children, with a primary focus on delivering the Moving Beyond Depression (MBD) model — an evidence-based, in-home cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for pregnant and postpartum mothers experiencing depression. In this role, you will support families in Spanish and English, strengthen parent–child relationships, and help caregivers build skills that promote emotional wellbeing, bonding, and resilience. You will also provide mental health services to families outside of MBD, supporting our broader clinical work.
