Clinical Therapist

Position Overview CLinical Therapist · Full Time · W-2 Austin, Texas · In-Office and Telehealth A Role Built for the Therapy Room This is a purely clinical position. Your job is seeing clients — full stop. There are no required marketing activities, content quotas, workshop obligations, or community-engagement assignments. If you want to contribute beyond the therapy room — leading a workshop, joining our podcast, writing for our membership community, The Continuum — those opportunities exist, they're entirely optional, and every hour is paid at dedicated rates. Saying no (always or sometimes) never affects your pay, benefits, bonus, or standing.
