The Office of Human Resources at the University of Florida is seeking a full-time mental health professional to join its UF Employee Assistance Program team to help cultivate psychological wellbeing among UF faculty and staff in support of their personal and professional development. This counselor will provide in-person and telehealth short-term therapy, provide group support following critical incidents, and address emerging situations.

The counselor's primary responsibility is to offer clinical services for individuals who work at the University of Florida. Applicants should have experience working with a wide range of psychosocial (e.g., burnout, marital/familial stress, substance use, interpersonal difficulties) and mental health concerns at varying levels of severity, with the ability to refer to community services as needed.

Additional responsibilities may occasionally include offering educational presentations and/or programming related to mental health-related topics for UF faculty and staff. This position may be deemed an essential employee with additional required responsibilities during a declared emergency.
