This job opening is specific to our St. Augustine, FL office location.

Cornerstone does not hire online-only clinicians.
Cornerstone's expectations and requirements for counselors include:
- Masters in Mental Health Counseling or similar, required.
- State licensure: RMHCI, RMHC RMFTI, or RMFT (We do not hire pastoral and non-licensed counselors or social workers.)
- Believe in Cornerstone's Mission, Vision, and Statement of Faith.
- Attend Cornerstone's weekly all-staff meeting, called Group Supervision, which includes Cornerstone announcements, training and group case consultations. These meetings are every Wednesday from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST/EDT. Most meetings are held virtually, with one meeting a month in person at the St. Augustine office.

- Dedication to obtaining advanced certifications and training, in order to ensure you are specialized and not a generalist.
