Asian/Pacific Islander Domestic Violence Resource Project (A/PI DVRP) supports and mobilizes Asian/Pacific Islanders to build safer communities by responding to harm and striving to end gender and power-based violence. Since 1995, The Asian/Pacific Islander Domestic Violence Resource Project (DVRP) has provided services to survivors of domestic violence in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. It is an organization that was founded by survivors and continues to be survivor-led and driven.
The Mental Health Therapist (MHT) is a contract (4-6 hours per week) position working in collaboration with DVRP’s Survivor Services Program to provide counseling and therapy to DVRP’s Virginia based clients. While this position will be mostly virtual, the MHT will be required to attend in-person meetings at least once per quarter.
The MHT will directly interact with clients by applying specialized clinical knowledge and advanced clinical skills to assess and treat emotional trauma associated with domestic violence and sexual assault. Working closely within the Survivor Services team, the therapist will provide individual counseling and psychotherapy as well as in-depth case management to comprehensively address needs and help clients move forward in their healing journey. The Mental Health Therapist reports to the Survivor Services Program Manager.
Note: DVRP currently does not provide supervision for LGPC or LMSW candidates
