We're Hiring: Passionate Therapists

WHY DID YOU BECOME A THERAPIST?

You LOVE doing therapy! You feel tremendous privilege in being able to connect with people on a deep level knowing that oftentimes you are the only person who sees their pain, knows their hidden story, and believes in their worth. The positive changes your clients have made as a result of your work together fill your heart with joy and a deep sense of purpose. Because you love doing therapy and you’re really good at it, there have been many times when you can’t believe you’re being paid to do this work!

Wait, I Did Not Think Becoming A Therapist Would Be Like This.

But lately, those thoughts have been less frequent. Maybe it’s because the caseload you’re expected to carry is high, you feel like you’re drowning in paperwork, there’s no flexibility in your schedule, you don’t get to work with your ideal population, and/or you feel undervalued and lonely. All of these factors are impinging on your love of doing therapy, and you want the joy back.

There is a way out; you can have it all with us. You could do the clinical work that you love without the burnout. We are looking for a Registered Social Worker or Psychologist to join our private practice.

There Is Hope!
