Associate Eating Disorder Therapist (ASW/ AMFT)

LKG Psychotherapy & Coaching is a small private practice supporting individuals, couples and families (16+) navigating anxiety, disordered eating, trauma, relationship concerns, and perinatal mental health. We’re small, values-driven, and hands-on — and we’re looking for an Associate (ASW or AMFT) who wants more than a job.

We especially love working with associates who bring a rich, diverse background — including experience in another career before becoming a therapist — because it adds depth, perspective, and real-world understanding to the therapy room.

If you’re motivated, curious, and ready to grow, this is a great place to build your skills and your caseload with plenty of support.

What You’ll Do

• Provide individual psychotherapy (in person in West LA and via telehealth)
• Keep thoughtful, timely documentation and coordinate care with outside providers
• Join weekly supervision and occasional marketing/CEU meetings
• Grow your niche with our active support (presentations, networking, collateral)

Must-Haves

• 1,000+ post-graduation hours toward licensure
• Treatment center or HLOC experience
• Direct experience with eating disorders (strict requirement)

• Self-starter mindset; comfortable with outreach and relationship-building
• Willing to work one evening a week (4-7pm) or a few hours on a weekend

Strong Pluses

• Prior professional experience outside of mental health (we value diverse backgrounds — e.g., business, arts, education, health care — before becoming a therapist)
• Clinical experience or strong interest treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
• Training in EMDR, TRM, SE, or perinatal specialization (PMH-C or in progress)
• Interest in adult ADHD/executive-function coaching or college/young-adult work
• Comfort collaborating with concierge medical teams
• Bilingual (English/Farsi or other language)—not required but warmly welcomed

What You’ll Get

• Weekly clinical supervision and business mentorship (including the ethics of private-pay practice, referral generation, branding, and gentle marketing)
• A supportive, high-touch environment with thoughtfully curated referrals
• CEU & marketing stipend
• Exposure to a well-networked, multidisciplinary community in Los Angeles
