Darling Mental Health is pleased to announce that we have a new practice location opening near Elm Park in Worcester!
All in-person appointments and services will be conducted at the new location beginning March 1, 2025 at 255 Park Ave, for which there is a free parking garage and building security from 8am-8pm. Our new office space will ensure that we can provide a physical bulletin board and resource center in our public waiting room as well as a conference room to be used for: in-person education and therapist trainings, drop-in support groups, and closed group therapy; services we hope to offer in only a few short months!
We are actively looking to hire new clinicians to be part of our values-based team focused on providing ethical sex therapy, gender-affirming counseling, and general mental health services for all ages and outpatient conditions. Clinicians do not need to be a specialist in sex or gender counseling, but should espouse the values we stand for in securing equitable access to care that affirms each and every person’s right to healthy sexuality and authentic gender identity/expression. Clinicians will have free access to training and supervision to increase skillsets in supporting clients who are seeking treatment with a sex therapist, gender specialist, and who fall in any aspect of the queer community with trans, intersex, and asexual inclusion as part of our public philosophy. We are a profit-share modeled company who partner with local organizations to evaluate and address needs in the Worcester community. Read the job description here and apply to join the team today!
In line with such a launch we are revamping the website and are changing the Resource Directory to: WooSex.org an online sex therapy resource directory created by a Worcester based clinician, with educational links about sexual health and gender diversity and resource networks from in- and outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; expect new design, user feel, and layout in February!
Additionally, a new waiting list application process has been developed for all those seeking outpatient mental health counseling with therapists who are trained and supervised on providing sex therapy, gender identity and trans-affirming counseling, trauma-informed care, as well as many other modalities for the people of Worcester. Our new EHR the Jane app has a HIPAA compliant request form to be put on the waiting list, we are expecting a 2 month turnaround to place you with an appropriate clinician with 15 min consults being scheduled with the Director by request. Your place on our waitlist will be confirmed within 3 business days.
We are joyfully looking forward to new developments and adventures in 2025 as we rise to meet the need of our most vulnerable populations and hope to create a new and welcoming in-person practice that comes to meet the needs of our diverse community.
May we find connection, support, and inspiration in the coming months!
