Remote Mental Health Therapist Position

About our Practice

We are proud to create a work place that strives for the perfect balance between the benefits of private practice (choose your own schedule, pick your favorite clients, work for a group practice that is truly about supporting you and your interests) along with the benefits of agency work (full administrative and billing team, connection with co-workers and a sense of belonging to something larger, clinical supervisor support, coverage for vacations or time off etc.)
