The Holistic Hive is where wellness meets community—where clinicians, families, and systems come together to repair what’s been fractured and rebuild what’s possible.

 

Our Forensic Department sits at the intersection of mental health, child welfare, and the court system, supporting children and non-offending caregivers navigating some of the most complex and high-stakes moments in their lives.

 

We are not traditional therapy. We are structured. We are ethical. We are trauma-informed. And we are deeply committed to doing this work right.

 

With a new county contract expansion, our hive is growing, and we are seeking clinicians who are grounded, thoughtful, and ready to step into court-involved, systems-facing clinical work. If you can hold both compassion and clarity, both care and boundaries, this may be your place.

 

Your Role in the Hive:

As a Forensic Social Worker or Counselor, you will serve as both a clinician and a systems navigator, providing therapeutic and forensic-informed services to children and families involved in custody, child welfare, and reunification processes.

 

This work is different.

• It requires neutrality. Precision. Strong documentation.

• And at the center of it all—protecting the wellbeing of the child.

• You will not be asked to take sides.

• You will be asked to hold complexity with integrity.

What You'll Do:

Provide trauma-informed, court-involved clinical services, including:

• Individual therapy for children impacted by family conflict, abuse allegations, or separation•

• Therapeutic support for non-offending caregivers navigating court or CPS involvement

• Reunification therapy and structured parent-child sessions are ordered when needed

• Family therapy focused on safety, attachment, and relational repair​

Engage in forensic-informed clinical work:

• Conduct intakes, psychosocial assessments, and clinical evaluations

• Maintain clear, objective, and court-ready documentation

• Support assessment processes such as family functioning or reunification readiness

• Participate in case consultation and multidisciplinary coordination

Collaborate within systems:

• Communicate with attorneys, guardians ad litem, and child protective services

• Provide professional recommendations grounded in clinical evidence

• Prepare documentation that may be used in legal proceedings

• Participate in court processes when required

Care for the work and yourself:

• Engage in supervision and reflective consultation

• Maintain clear boundaries and ethical practice

• Tend to your own regulation in complex, high-conflict cases​

What We’re Looking For:

• LMSW, LCSW-C, LGPC, or LCPC in Maryland (or license-eligible)

• Experience working with children, adolescents, or families

• Strong clinical judgment and documentation skills

• Ability to navigate high-conflict dynamics without alignment or bias

Rooted in:

• Trauma-informed and attachment-based care

• Cultural humility and inclusive practice

• Ethical clarity and professional boundaries

Bonus nectar:

• Experience with court-involved families, CPS, or custody cases

• Training in reunification therapy or forensic work

• Background in EMDR, somatics, IFS, or expressive therapies

• Bilingual or multilingual clinicians

What We Offer:

• Clinical supervision and forensic consultation

• Advanced training in court-involved and reunification work

• A collaborative, grounded, and mission-driven team

• Flexible scheduling with hybrid opportunities

• The opportunity to specialize in high-impact forensic services

• A practice culture that values both clinical excellence and human sustainability
