Licensed Mental Health Therapist

Job Description

We are building a team of exceptional therapists who want to practice at a high level, work with motivated clients, and be part of a collaborative clinical community.

Here at Thrive for the People, you will join a dynamic team of therapists and administrative staff who value each other and hold a mindset of growth and abundance. Our clients are invested in therapy, attend consistently, and are motivated to do meaningful, transformative work.

We are looking for a fully licensed therapist (PhD, PsyD, LICSW, LMFT, LMHC) with specialties in treating trauma and working with couples. 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. 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 love providing depth-oriented, emotionally focused individual and couples therapy. You are driven and dedicated to clinical excellence.
You consistently follow through on commitments.
You complete documentation on time without reminders.
You actively seek feedback, consultation, and continued learning.
You are open, self-reflective, and deeply committed to your own growth. You understand that strong clinicians are always evolving personally and professionally.
You enjoy working with ambitious, high-functioning clients.
You are comfortable having difficult conversations with clients.
You view therapy as both an art and a discipline.
You value teamwork and contribute to a positive workplace culture.
You are trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Counseling or willing to self-enroll and complete level 1 training within 3 months of hire.
You are transparent, honest, and accountable in your work with clients and colleagues. You take responsibility, communicate directly, repair when needed, and value integrity over ego.
You are motivated to fill up your caseload and support referrals into the practice through marketing and networking. You are excited to represent the practice in the community, cultivate professional relationships, and contribute to the growth of the team. Thrive for the People invests significantly in our marketing and referral development. You will have the infrastructure and support to attract the clients who are a great fit for you.

"I like that the practice holds us accountable to actually practicing the self-care, boundaries, conflict resolution, self-advocacy, etc. that we know are so important for the clients we work with. As a result, I feel valued as a therapist and as a person at TFTP. More than anywhere else I have worked, I can see how TFTP goes above and beyond to compensate me fairly, show appreciation for us as a team, and invite our feedback about the direction of the business."
