Job Summary
At Abide Integrative Counseling Services, we believe therapy is more than symptom management—it’s about creating a space where clients feel safe, seen, supported, and empowered throughout their healing journey. We are committed to fostering an environment where healing is not rushed, stories are honored, relationships are nurtured, and growth is approached with compassion and intention.
Our practice supports adolescents and adults navigating relationship challenges, communication difficulties, family conflict, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, attachment wounds, and Christian faith-integrated mental health concerns (upon client request). We recognize that emotional wellness is deeply connected to the systems and relationships people exist within, and we value therapists who approach care through a relational and family systems lens.
As our practice continues to grow, we are actively seeking a dedicated Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families strengthen communication, rebuild connection, navigate conflict, and cultivate healthier relational patterns within a supportive and collaborative private practice environment.

Clinicians should feel comfortable helping clients navigate marital stress, premarital concerns, family conflict, communication barriers, co-parenting challenges, relational trauma, and emotional disconnection.
Our practice offers a flexible, supportive, and mission-driven environment where clinicians maintain autonomy while working collaboratively within a growing group practice setting.
