About Us:
We are seeking a compassionate, empathetic, and trauma-informed psychotherapist to join our growing team. The ideal candidate has experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and is passionate about supporting clients who have experienced childhood trauma, interpersonal violence, family conflict, grief and loss, substance use disorders, systemic oppression, and other adverse life experiences.
Because many of the individuals and families we serve include children and adolescents, we are especially seeking clinicians who enjoy working with youth and are committed to supporting their emotional, behavioral, and developmental growth. Applicants must be willing and comfortable working with children and adolescents as a meaningful part of their caseload. Clinicians will also have opportunities to work with adults, couples, and families.
As a member of our team, you will provide culturally responsive, evidence-based psychotherapy while collaborating with other professionals and community systems to support the emotional well-being of the individuals and families we serve.
We are seeking clinicians with full-time availability who are interested in developing and maintaining an active caseload. This position is primarily office-based, with flexibility to provide some services from home when appropriate. The majority of clinical sessions, however, will be conducted in person.
Bilingual (English/Spanish) clinicians are strongly encouraged to apply.

Job Description:

This position requires a clinician who is willing and able to work with children and adolescents in addition to other populations within the clinician's scope of practice and competency.

Foster a safe, welcoming, and culturally responsive therapeutic environment where clients feel respected and supported.
Maintain timely, accurate, and clinically substantive documentation in accordance with agency, ethical, payer, and regulatory standards.
