We provide a flexible work schedule, but we expect our therapists to proactively balance client needs while maintaining a healthy work‑life balance.

• Prefer experience with children, adolescents, teens, and/or adults
• Prefer experience with couples, families, trauma, substance abuse, and/or schools
• Prefer a general knowledge of therapy services, community resources, insurance billing, and previous experience with mental health documentation
