The Director oversees the daily operations of the First 5 contracts, King City clinic and provides clinical supervision support for the mental health outpatient clinic. Responsibilities include management of program budgets, hiring and supervision of employees, establishing and maintaining external relationships with county, community and agency partners.  The services are provided over a continuum of care that includes clinic and community-based treatment models designed to provide substantive short-term to long-term mental health services that empower caregivers and youth to make lasting gains.

The Monterey County programs embody Seneca’s core values of providing strengths-based, family focused, individualized services at the times and in the locations that best meet the needs of the families served.  The Director ensures that services are delivered and documented in compliance with all county, state and federal regulations. The Director may also provide clinical supervision to ASW and AMFT employees. 

Seneca Family of Agencies is committed to providing traditionally marginalized communities a network of outstanding mental health, community based, and educational services. Celebrating diversity and creating a culture of inclusion increases creativity, innovation, problem solving, and teamwork. Seneca’s agency-wide DEI Advisory Board, Employee Resource Groups, and Language Practice Groups help our employees provide culturally and linguistically relevant services to the families we serve.
