Join our dedicated team and make a lasting difference as a Mental Health Counselor in one of our Group Living Environments (GLE's) — safe, comfortable homes where adults can build confidence, skills, and independence with the right support.
This is your chance to become part of our Adult Community Clinical Services (ACCS) program — a respected, innovative model of care that empowers adults on their path to recovery.
As a Mental Health Counselor, you will bring compassion, creativity, and a strong sense of collaboration to an environment that honors each person’s strengths and potential while you:

Collaborate with a committed team that values mutual learning, respect, and growth.
Create an environment where people feel safe, heard, and inspired to envision new possibilities for their futures.
At Riverside, we know that when people feel supported — both those we serve and those who serve — amazing things happen. Join a team that values your voice, nurtures your growth, and shares your passion for empowering others to live full and independent lives.
Schedule: Full-Time 40 hours; Tuesday through Saturday 7 a.m. - 3 p.m.
