Job description

Mental Health Therapist - Full-Time (In-Person)

Inner Balance Counseling | Mesa OR Tempe, AZ

Are you on the hunt for a job where the grass is truly greener? A job you actually enjoy with reasonable expectations? A place where you're respected, cared for, and supported-not just with kind words but with real investment in your growth? Look no further-this could be the home you've been looking for.

Inner Balance Counseling is a trauma-informed counseling community providing outpatient mental health services to adults. We're seeking a full-time, in-person therapist who wants a long-term professional home-that won't be a side gig, and not supplemental employment. Our goal is to ensure our therapists are not just trauma-aware, but truly trauma-informed and fully supported in their work.

This role requires a consistent, full clinical caseload and regular on-site presence. It's best suited for clinicians who thrive on collaboration, value accountability, and are excited about professional growth within a supportive, structured practice. If you prefer to clock in and out without a word, or you find 25 clients overwhelming, we might not be the right fit. But if you're eager to grow and find a home, we're the place for you.

Work Location & Schedule

This is a fully in-person role. Therapists work one consistent schedule at one location. Applicants must be available to work on-site at one of these locations.

A Note on Fit

If you're seeking part-time or remote work, or a lighter caseload, this position likely won't be the right fit-and that's okay. But if you're ready to commit to full-time, in-person clinical work in a counseling community that invests in you and your growth-where the grass really is greener, we'd love to hear from you.
