Counselor

Enjoy the perks of private practice in a group practice setting with colleagues, community, and support, as an independent contractor.

Are you a dedicated, self-starting clinician, who shares our values of serving our community with compassionate, inclusive, culturally-responsive mental health counseling services, with respect and collaborative service, while honoring and affirming the dignity and worth of every person? We want to talk to you!

LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, clinicians with diverse backgrounds, social-justice minded clinicians encouraged to apply!

What we offer:

We offer a supportive, warm, and collaborative environment with colleagues who are highly motivated, trauma-informed, and value ongoing training.

We believe fully in life-work balance, an ability for folks to feel flexible and independent in their work while being supported by colleagues, in a space that is liberating from systemic bureaucracies and all that comes with it.

We value practices that are identity-affirming, inclusive, transparent in nature, and empowering. We work to integrate these values in our case consultations, supervision, and engagement with each other- formal and informal, as well as engagement with clients.

Licensure Qualifications:

• Fully licensed (LP, LICSW, LPCC, LMFT) clinicians (preferred)
• Those working toward LPCC or LICSW licensure may also be considered
