Strong clinical skills and experience in trauma-informed care
Training or interest in expressive arts therapy, somatic therapy, or creative modalities
Commitment to anti-oppressive and inclusive therapeutic practice
Reliable, self-motivated, and values working in a collaborative environment
Experience with insurance-based practice is a plus, but not required

Up to 5 hours of administrative time paid per week
25 hours of PTO per year paid at clinical rate
Flexibility over your schedule
