Spanish Speaking Volunteer Clinicians Needed

The Pro Bono Counseling Project has an increasing number of Spanish-speaking clients and since we have recently hired a bi-lingual clinical assistant to help with our intake calls, we have a great need for more volunteer clinicians who can conduct therapy in Spanish.  Please contact Ellen Bonta at 410-323-5800 x103 or ellen@probonocounseling.org or complete our online enrollment form if you are interested in working with us.
