Job Overview
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor/Associate or independently licensed candidates to join our team. The ideal candidate will provide high-quality clinical counseling services to clients, focusing on their mental health and emotional well-being. This role involves working in a supportive environment where you can make a significant impact on the lives of individuals, and couples particularly in private practice settings. The counselor will be responsible for conducting assessments, developing treatment plans, and providing therapy while adhering to HIPAA regulations, with a choice of working fully remote or in hybrid position. Supervision for pre-licensed counselors and ongoing professional treanings is provided.

Recent graduates are highly encouraged to apply!

Areas of presenting issues successful candidates will work with include, but are not limited to, PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, ADHD, depression, complex co-occurring diagnosis, high-conflict couples, and attachment and relational trauma. Some of the interventions we use include EMDR, IFS, Somatic work, Mindfulness, and other trauma-informed innovative interventions. We are not a typical Telehealth organization that focuses only on client care. We are dedicated to invest and inspire our practitioners to grow and provide support for personal and professional development, ongoing supervision, consultations and treanings (including specialized certifications).
