Child/Teen Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LMHC, LMFT, LICSW, PhD/PsyD)

A Little Bit about Thrive Counseling:

At Thrive Counseling Center, we believe that our clients deserve nothing less than exceptional services and support.

Our model of care reflects a strong commitment to both client satisfaction as well as the happiness of our clinicians. Our providers enjoy the independence to work through the clinical approaches that they are passionate about, as well as the ability to work with the types of clients they desire.

Our providers also appreciate the culture, community, connections, and opportunities and benefits that come with being part of a group of providers who are also passionate about their work and are all mutually supportive of each other.

We serve a wide variety of individuals, couples, children, and families. Our mental health clinicians appreciate the opportunity to work with different types of clients depending on their clinical interests and niche areas of practice in counseling. Our Client Care Team does an incredible job of matching clients to the areas our providers want to work in.

If you are a provider who is passionate about the art and science of providing mental health services and would like to do this within a stellar group of providers and staff, we encourage you to apply!

We are currently hiring for both Associate and Fully Licensed Therapists who have experience and a passion for working with our kiddo clients, teen clients, and their families.
