Relevé Counseling in Rockford is Looking to Hire!

A message from the co-owner of Relevé Counseling to DePaul Counseling Students:

My name is Alex de Leon and I’m a co-owner of Relevé Counseling in Rockford.

We’re a private mental health clinic that offers Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and the Safe and Sound Protocol, a music-based intervention. We see clients of all ages and offer individual, couples, and family therapy. We offer in person as well as telehealth services, which has allowed us to expand our service area. We’ve experienced a positive response from our community, which has allowed our clinical team to grow in the past year and we find ourselves in the position to expand yet again to meet the needs of our area.

With graduation just around the corner, I wanted to take this opportunity to reach out to you in the hopes that you might have current students that would be a good fit for our agency. We offer free clinical supervision and will help future employees work toward state licensure, while training them in various evidence-based treatment modalities.

If any of your graduates are looking to begin their career, we would love to hear from them!
