Employee (W2) Position
When you walk into the first session with your ideal client, you feel energized and positive about your day. You love doing trauma therapy and helping people heal their attachment wounds. You are a licensed mental health professional who is ethical, well trained, and you know how to help anyone who walks through your door, but with specific clients, you are truly amazing in your practice.
The problem is, that you just don't feel you're getting the support you need as a trauma therapist. You're feeling overwhelmed and possibly even burnt out. You're craving clinical support from like-minded peers and administrative staff that takes care of all the backend tasks so you can just be an amazing therapist. It would also be nice to be making more money than the agency you're at.
We're here to support you in creating your dream private practice lifestyle. We offer flexible schedules, peer support, self-care events, and highly supportive administrative staff. Between individual and peer consults and self-care events, you will feel truly connected and supported in the work you do. Say goodbye to worrying about if you're going to get paid, feeling alone at work, and chasing clients around to get paperwork because our administrative team is here to take care of that for you.
On top of you feeling supported as a person, we are here to help you grow professionally! We offer flexible hours, offices with windows, and the option to work remotely. We also offer training at our office throughout the year including training in somatic therapies, IFS, EMDR, and other holistic evidence-based modalities. Your clients will also feel supported with workshops and groups in trauma-informed yoga, meditation, and art therapy.
Are you ready to feel connected to fellow trauma therapists, be inspired by the clients you're working with, and feel glowing at the end of a really hard clinical day because you feel cared about and supported? We're ready for you!
Send us over your resume, a written cover letter (or video!), and three professional references. We want to know the true you and why you would fit in with our practice. Tell me about your ideal clients with whom you do the most amazing work along with alternative evidence-based services you may be interested in providing. Please also include your strengths and something that inspires you.
