Child Therapist

A community that values collaboration, connection, and the joy of supporting kids and families. As we grow, we are seeking clinicians passionate about contextual and behavioral therapies. A fee-for-service group practice that is not contracted with insurance companies. This allows for higher compensation, lower caseloads, and care driven by client needs rather than insurance requirements. An antiracist, anti-oppressive, and social justice-oriented practice. We seek clinicians who share these values and are committed to ongoing learning and reflection. A team that is invested in the well-being of parents and caregivers . Our clinicians hold deep compassion for the complexities of parenting/caregiving, are eager to work with parents and understand the flexibility needed to work with family systems. A group of people with a shared mission — to provide treatment that works — based on individual values, context, and backgrounds. Who are we looking for?
