*Need is for 2/2/26 - 2/6/26 for 10-15 hours a week to cover a caseload of 10 patients.  Need is to cover one 6 bed girls dual diagnosis residential treatment program and one 6 bed boys dual diagnosis residential treatment program.  
*100% remote tele health. Client uses a HIPAA compliant version of Zoom for tele health.  
*Board Certified Child Psychiatrist is strongly preferred; however, will consider a board certified adult psychiatrist who’s experienced with adolescents ages 12-17, but most patients are ages 14-17.
