WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You are a passionate, reflective therapist who is looking for a private practice home where you can offer deeply attuned, evidence-based therapy while being supported by an administrative and clinical team. You enjoy working with adult individuals and/or couples, and have a particular interest in treating trauma, OCD, and/or relational challenges.

You are trained in at least one of the following approaches:

This role is ideal for someone seeking:

• The autonomy of private practice
• The support and collaboration of a group environment
• A steady flow of aligned referrals
• A beautiful space to do meaningful work
