Job Description:

Trauma-Informed Therapist, In-Person, Weekends

Founded by a trauma therapist rather than a VC-backed company, Evergreen Counseling is the first boutique, trauma-informed therapy center in the country.

At Evergreen, we center our clients, by providing exceptional, professional, warm, and humanistic care. Each staff member is trauma-informed and possesses advanced training in trauma treatment modalities so that we can serve clients presenting with single-incident traumas, or early relational traumas (sometimes called developmental trauma).

At Evergreen, we also center our staff, providing the most comprehensive benefits package of any therapy center in the Bay Area (more on that below), allowing fully licensed clinicians to build schedules that work for them (assuming 25 clients a week are seen), providing ongoing training, consultation, and advanced education opportunities, all the while surrounding the clinical team with exceptionally responsive leadership and administrative support to help you in your role as a therapist.

Responsibilities:
--- We are currently seeking a therapist who considers themselves a generalist and is open to seeing individual adolescents, individual adults, couples, and families and who is a trauma-informed clinician and is equipped to skillfully work with relational trauma (often called attachment trauma or developmental trauma).
--- As a trauma-informed generalist therapist at Evergreen Counseling, you will largely work with moderate to high-functioning individuals with a broad range of presenting complaints.
--- This position should be willing and able to carry a caseload of 25 clients per week and should be able to sensitively work with individuals who present with a range of sexual and gender and lifestyle preferences.
--- This role will, like all roles at the center, embody the values of Evergreen Counseling: professional excellence, warmth, clinical rigor, and this role will join the rest of the team as we strive to create an inclusive environment for all of Evergreen's clients.
--- In addition to providing high-quality clinical care to your caseload, on an ongoing basis you will complete the (relatively minimal but rigorously sound) documentation we require (treatment plans, SOAP notes, charting, discharge notes, etc.), conduct any necessary consult calls with prospective new clients assigned to your caseload, get in touch with lateral providers when and if needed, and you will have the opportunity (but are not required to participate in) monthly peer support groups and/or access Evergreen Counseling's clinical leadership team at any point for consultation and support.
--- Evergreen Counseling is committed to ensuring our clinicians have the time and support to care for themselves and develop their skills as we serve our clients.

Qualifications:
--- You have an active, unrestricted AMFT or LMFT/LCSW/LPCC license or active license in clinical psychology (PhD or PsyD from an accredited university) and are fully licensed (please note we are not accepting Associate applicants at this time) to practice in California.
--- You consider yourself to be trauma-informed and equipped to work well with a broad range of clients.
--- You have at least two years of post-graduate clinical experience with a broad range of clients.
--- You're willing and able to hold 25 counseling sessions weekly across the following days and times: Friday 8 am-5 pm, Saturday 8 am-5 pm, Sunday 8 am-5 pm
--- You have a private, confidential, and sound-proofed home office with a reliable internet connection.
--- You are compassionate, warm, personable, hard-working, and reliable.
--- You're willing and able to commit to a full-time role at Evergreen Counseling for at least 2 years.
