We believe exceptional therapists are developed through mentorship, consultation, self-reflection, and community. As an Associate Therapist at Thrive for the People, you will receive high-quality supervision, ongoing training, and the support of a collaborative team committed to clinical excellence.
We are looking for a masters-level associate therapist (LMFTA, LMHCA, LSWAIC) who is passionate about working with trauma and couples. This role is ideal for a clinician who wants to become highly skilled in depth-oriented individual therapy and emotionally focused couples therapy while building a sustainable and rewarding career within a group practice setting.
This is an hourly W-2 position, requiring 28 hours of availability for client sessions per week, aiming for a minimum average of 20 completed sessions per week. The therapist will maintain a caseload of at least 20 clinical hours a week. Some of the marketing and networking events will require occasional work in the evenings and on weekends (e.g., tabling at community events, hosting live workshops, etc.).
This is a partially remote and partially in-office position. The ideal candidate will have the ability to provide services in their home office and at our Ballard office.
We May Be a Great Fit If:
- You are passionate about becoming an exceptional therapist.
- You are drawn to depth-oriented, emotionally focused work.
- You consistently follow through on commitments.
- You complete documentation on time without reminders.
- You welcome feedback and consultation. Rather than striving to have all the answers, you approach supervision with humility, curiosity, and a desire to continue growing.
- You are comfortable having difficult conversations with clients.
- You view therapy as both an art and a discipline.
- You are trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Counseling or willing to self-enroll and complete level 1 training within 3 months of hire.
- You communicate directly, take ownership of your work, and value integrity over ego. You are accountable, dependable, and committed to repairing misunderstandings when they arise.
- You are excited to contribute to something larger than yourself. You enjoy being part of a collaborative team, supporting your colleagues, and representing the practice in the community through networking, marketing, and relationship-building.
