Licensed Clinical Intake Specialist
Role Overview
Be the first clinical connection for teens and families seeking care at Adolescent Wellness Academy.

These conversations combine clinical screening with compassionate guidance. You’ll help teens feel comfortable engaging in treatment, answer caregivers’ questions, and identify concerns requiring escalation or a different level of care. After each call, you’ll document your findings and coordinate next steps with Admissions and clinical teams.
