Job description

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 disconnected and searching for your community. You're craving clinical support from like-minded peers and administrative staff who take care of all the backend tasks so you can just be an amazing therapist. It would also be nice to have more autonomy over your income through income diversification opportunities.

We're here to support you in creating your dream private practice lifestyle. We offer:

• supervision/consultation
• advanced training
• a supportive community of therapists
• highly supportive administrative staff

Between peer consults, training, and self-care events, you will feel truly connected to a community while being supported in the work you do. Say goodbye to worrying about whether 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 advanced trauma training at our office throughout the year including training in somatic therapies, IFS, EMDR, Safe and Sound Protocol, Flash Technique, and other holistic evidence-based modalities. To support the individual work you provide, 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!
