Join us as a WISe Therapist at Ryther!
We've expanded our services!
Ryther is a recognized leader in behavioral health services for children, youth and their families facing complex challenges. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive services and innovative treatments. We guide, coach and teach so that every child/youth and family we work with may experience new ways of thinking, develop positive relationships, and realize a better life.
Wraparound with Intensive Services, or WISe, is a new approach to helping Medicaid-eligible children, youth, and their families with intensive mental health care. Services are available in home and community settings and offer a system of care based on the individualized need of the child or youth.
Our WISe Therapist provides comprehensive therapeutic support services assisting children, youth, and families in coping with complex behavior and mental health needs. In a team framework the therapist works in close collaboration with a Wraparound Facilitator and Parent /Youth Partner to identify goals, assess needs, and coordinate access to community resources. The Therapist will conduct outreach to clients and families in their homes, school, and community.
