We are seeking compassionate Mental Health Therapists (licensed or associate level) to join our outpatient team serving children, adolescents, and families—particularly neurodivergent clients.

We welcome both independently licensed clinicians and pre-licensed associates working toward licensure under approved clinical supervision.

Clinicians may be assigned across clinic locations based on caseload availability and service demand, which may include split-site scheduling.

Associate-Level Therapists:

• Master’s degree in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, or related field.
• Active Oregon associate registration (e.g., CSWA, LPC-A, LMFTA, or equivalent).
• Working toward independent licensure under supervision.

All Candidates:

• Experience working with children, adolescents, or neurodivergent populations preferred.
• Strong clinical, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work independently and within a team-based care model.

Growth Opportunity:

This position is designed to grow with program demand. As caseloads and service needs expand, there is potential to increase hours and transition into full-time salaried positions with benefits, based on organizational needs, staffing capacity, and available openings.

Benefits:
