ABOUT RESILIENT ROOTS
Are you an associate-level therapist who leads with the body, honors lineage, and brings a decolonial lens to your clinical work? Resilient Roots Therapeutic Services is looking for one clinician to grow with us.
Resilient Roots is a fully remote, healing-centered telehealth practice rooted in the belief that mental health care must be accessible, culturally affirming, and grounded in the full humanity of every person we serve.
We guide individuals — especially people of the global majority — in exploring and healing the full spectrum of their experiences, from intergenerational traumas to ancestral strengths. We believe healing is somatic, relational, spiritual, and generational. Our work honors the mind-body-spirit connection, the lineage we carry, and the wisdom embedded in lived experience.
We R.I.S.E. with purpose:
Resilience — as we heal, we nourish ourselves, our families, and our communities Intergenerational Wisdom — honoring lessons and patterns passed down across generations Strength — cultivating inner fortitude on the journey of healing Equity & Awareness — challenging systemic barriers and centering historically marginalized perspectives
If your heart is in this work, you belong here.
THE ROLE
We are hiring one associate-level therapist (LCSWA, LCMHCA, or LMFTA) who brings clinical skill and a genuine orientation toward whole-person, body-centered, and decolonial healing. You will serve adults 18+ with a focus on BIPOC communities, adult children of immigrants, and individuals navigating complex trauma, identity, and diaspora.
This is a W-2 employee position — not a 1099 or independent contractor arrangement.
Please note: this role does not include clinical supervision toward licensure hours. Candidates must already have their own board-approved outside clinical supervisor and supervision contract in place (per NC Board requirements for associate-level practice) in order to be considered.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Provide 25–30 individual telehealth sessions per week via SimplePractice Conduct biopsychosocial assessments and develop individualized, culturally grounded treatment plans Integrate somatic, mind-body, and body-centered approaches into clinical work as appropriate Apply decolonial and liberation-based frameworks to support clients in moving through systemic and intergenerational harm Complete clinical documentation within required timeframes per NC licensing board standards Coordinate care with outside providers and community resources as clinically indicated Follow RRTS crisis protocol for clients presenting with active safety concerns Attend monthly clinical consultation, team meetings, and internal supervision

WHO THRIVES HERE
We are looking for someone who understands that healing lives in the body as much as the mind. Who can hold space for the way colonialism, diaspora, and intergenerational harm show up in the nervous system, the breath, the posture, and the silence between words.
The right fit leads with curiosity, not diagnosis. They speak about clients with intelligence and empathy. They are collaborative, open to direct feedback, and deeply committed to anti-oppressive, body-centered, culturally humble practices.
