We’re Hiring therapist to see adult individuals and couples| W2 + Benefits |

If you love the clinical work but don’t love the administrative weight of private practice this role may be a strong fit.

Solid Foundations Therapy is a group practice specializing in evidence-based adult individual and couples therapy. Our clinicians support clients through communication breakdowns, intimacy struggles, conflict cycles, divorce recovery, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, women's Issues, mens issues and major life transitions.

This position is ideal for a therapist who wants:

A consistent caseload and strong clinical support
A team environment with high standards + real connection
Ongoing training and growth in couples work (Gottman / EFT / RLT encouraged)
Less admin, more client work

The kind of therapist we are are looking for:

You’re someone who takes your clinical work seriously. In session, you’re warm but direct. You bring empathy and structure in equal measure. You help clients see their patterns, interrupt their cycles, and walk out with concrete strategies they can use today. You’re not afraid to guide the room.

You’re the therapist who brings structure to every session. You teach skills, not just process feelings. You help clients identify their patterns, interrupt their cycles, and leave with something tangible they can use before the next appointment. You believe through active and goal focused work therapy can create real and lasting changes.

Additionally, you care about the culture of the practice you work at. You actively contribute to the team, support and engage with your colleagues and are willing to actively build a positive team environment.
