• Strong background in evidence-based modalities
• Comfortable meeting clients in community or residential settings
• Proof of professional liability insurance ($1M/$3M coverage) or willingness to obtain prior to hire
• Active NPI number
• Must be able to pass a criminal background check
• Reliable transportation and ability to travel locally to meet clients

Even if you don’t meet every listed qualification, we encourage you to apply. We’re eager to connect with passionate clinicians who are dedicated to making a meaningful impact. Both recent graduates and experienced professionals are welcome.
