Mental Health Counselor

Mental Health Counselor

Location: Concord, New Hampshire
Supporting: New Hampshire National Guard

Help strengthen the resilience of the people behind the mission.

Military service places unique demands not only on Service Members, but also on spouses, children, and families. Deployments, reintegration, operational stress, family separation, career transitions, and the demands of balancing civilian and military life can place significant strain on individuals and households.

LMR Technical Group is hiring a Mental Health Counselor to provide direct, evidence-based counseling to New Hampshire National Guard Service Members and their families.

This is not simply a referral or resource-coordination position. You will provide direct counseling and therapeutic support to the military community, with particular emphasis on helping individuals and families who may otherwise have difficulty obtaining timely care.

Why this role matters

A mentally resilient force is an operationally ready force. Providing accessible counseling before challenges become crises can improve individual wellbeing, strengthen families, support retention, and help Service Members remain ready to accomplish their mission.

You will work directly with Soldiers, Airmen, spouses, couples, children, and adolescents while becoming part of a broader multidisciplinary readiness program addressing mental, physical, nutritional, and financial wellbeing.

If you want to practice in an environment where quality counseling directly supports both families and national defense, this is an opportunity to have meaningful impact.
