POSITION SUMMARY:

The Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP) is hiring a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (MFT) to join our Living with Love (LwL) team. We are looking for someone who has a client-focused approach to the treatment of indigenous migrant families and couples in committed relationships.

If you are bilingual in Spanish/English and are open to being part of a team that seeks to reduce mental health disparities, this is the right opportunity for you.
