Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to express my interest in a behavioral health or clinical position within your organization. With over fifteen years of experience in behavioral health, social work, and counseling services, I bring a strong commitment to supporting individuals in achieving mental and emotional well-being through compassionate, client-centered care.
Currently, I serve as a Behavioral Health Professional at New Freedom Behavioral Health, where I provide comprehensive services, develop individualized care plans, conduct assessments, and coordinate with multidisciplinary healthcare teams. My previous roles include Social Worker at Aurora Behavioral Health, Transitional Coordinator at Community Bridges, Counselor at Lifewell Wellness Center, and Supervisor at Stepping Stones Residential Mental Health Facility. Across these positions, I have delivered individual and group counseling, supervised staff, implemented treatment plans, and ensured continuity of care for diverse populations.
My professional strengths include crisis intervention, communication, leadership, critical thinking, time management, and maintaining detailed and confidential client records. I am dedicated to fostering supportive environments where clients feel respected, heard, and empowered to make meaningful progress.
I hold a Master of Arts in Psychology from National Louis University, a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from Chicago State University, and an Associate of Arts from Kennedy King College. My education and extensive practical experience have prepared me to contribute effectively to your team.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and dedication to behavioral health can support your organization’s mission.
Sincerely,
Demetrica Polk
