St. Catherine University and our Counseling Department invite applications for a full-time Mental Health Therapist position. Services will be delivered primarily in-person (on site) and, occasionally virtually (online).

Our Counseling Center provides counseling services to students from a variety of cultural and faith backgrounds, enabling them to achieve their academic and life goals. St. Catherine University is proud to be designated as a Minority Serving Institution ( MSI ) where approximately 40% of our students self-identify as diverse. We provide counseling services to students coping with emotional, social, behavioral, and identity-related difficulties common to the college population and we are deeply committed to creating a welcoming, emotionally safe space in which students can be seen and valued in their entirety, including their intersecting identities and unique cultural backgrounds. The Mental Health Therapist will:

• Deliver individual and group psychotherapy, conduct psychological assessments, create treatment plans, facilitate psycho-educational workshops, and support students in crisis.

• Keep professional records and collateral clinical service.
• Consult with various university constituencies regarding issues of student mental health and deliver outreach in the form of presentations and workshops on psycho-educational topics.
• Contribute to the development, implementation and evaluation of departmental goals and programs including the development of effective dynamics among team members.

Note that we have staff who are able to provide licensure supervision to individuals pursuing an LP in the state of Minnesota.

Given the way campus life inherently puts people in close proximity to each other, including residence and dining halls, classrooms, and gatherings, the University has determined that a vaccination requirement is the best way to keep our community safe and prevent potential outbreaks as we return to more regular, in-person operations. St. Catherine University is requiring all students, faculty (including adjuncts contracted for the fall semester and beyond), staff, and residents age 12 and older to complete their COVID -19 vaccination series, including a booster, unless the University approves a medical or religious accommodation or other accommodation/exemption as required by applicable law. New employees must submit vaccination documentation or be approved for an exemption/accommodation before beginning work. For more information, visit stkate.edu/coronavirus-info/vaccine .
