Full-Time School-Based Therapist – Des Moines Public Schools

Are you passionate about making mental health care more accessible for children and families in Des Moines? Mosaic Family Counseling Center is seeking a licensed therapist to join our team as a full-time school-based clinician in a Des Moines public school.

This role goes beyond providing therapy. As a school-based clinician, you will become a trusted member of the school community, providing therapy to students, collaborating with educators, supporting families, consulting with school staff, and helping foster a healthy, supportive learning environment.

We offer two flexible career options:

Year-round position: Work in the school setting during the academic year and transition to an office-based caseload during the summer.

Nine-month position: Work during the school year with summers off.

Clinicians are supported by a collaborative team and receive referrals, administrative support, and opportunities for continued professional growth. This position is a meaningful opportunity for someone who values clinical excellence, community-based care, and innovative partnerships between schools, families, and mental health providers.

If you are looking for a stable organization where your work can make a lasting impact on students, families, and the broader school community, we would love to talk with you.

We’re here to help you grow

into the clinician you want to become.

Join MFCC and experience a different way of doing the work—one that invests in you.

FAQs

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It’s a structured therapy that helps you process and heal from traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation.

How does EMDR therapy work?

It activates your brain’s natural healing process through guided eye movements or tapping, allowing distressing memories to be reprocessed in a more adaptive way.

What issues can EMDR therapy treat?

PTSD, trauma, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, grief and loss, phobias, chronic stress and burnout, low self-esteem, disturbing memories or nightmares, dissociation (with stabilization), some pain and performance issues, and more.

Is EMDR therapy safe?

Yes. EMDR is a well-studied, evidence-based therapy with low risk and high effectiveness.

How long does EMDR therapy take?

It varies, but standard EMDR is typically weekly 60–90-minute sessions over several weeks to a few months, depending on your goals, history, and stability needs. Many clients feel relief within 6–12 sessions. Complex trauma may require more. We also offer EMDR intensives (longer, condensed sessions) when appropriate.

What happens in an EMDR session?

Sessions follow a structured eight-phase protocol, including memory targeting, bilateral stimulation, and positive belief installation.

Does EMDR require talking about trauma in detail?

No. Many clients appreciate that EMDR doesn’t require full retelling of traumatic events.

Can EMDR therapy be done online via telehealth?

Absolutely. We offer EMDR through secure telehealth platforms as well as in-person.

Is EMDR better than traditional talk therapy?

It depends on your goals. Many find EMDR offers quicker relief, especially for trauma-related symptoms.

Who is not a good candidate for EMDR?

Those with unmanaged psychosis or active substance abuse may need stabilization first. Every case is evaluated individually.

Is EMDR therapy evidence-based?

Yes. EMDR is endorsed by the APA, WHO, VA/DoD, and many clinical studies support its use.

Can kids or teens benefit from EMDR?

Yes. EMDR is effective for children and adolescents and can be adapted to age-appropriate methods.

Can I do EMDR while taking medications?

Yes. Many clients continue medication while doing EMDR.

Will I feel worse before I feel better?

Some people feel stirred-up emotions temporarily. But your therapist will guide you to ensure sessions end in a calm, regulated state.

How much does EMDR cost?

Rates vary. EMDR sessions are typically billed as psychotherapy and are covered by most plans when seeing an in-network clinician. MOSAIC accepts most insurance and offer sliding scale options. We provide a Good Faith Estimate for transparency.

Is EMDR hypnosis?

How will EMDR help me?

EMDR is personalized. We connect your goals (sleep, relationships, confidence, triggers, work performance) to specific memories and present-day cues. The aim is relief that lasts—so you can live more fully in the present.
