Associate Therapist registered in California only
**Join Our Team at Therapy 4 Every Body**
We are actively seeking a pre-licensed therapist (Registered CALIFORNIA AMFT, APCC, or ASW) to grow with our practice at Therapy 4 Every Body (www.Therapy4EveryBody.com). This is a great opportunity for someone who is enthusiastic about working with children, teens, couples, and families.
Preference given to associates who still need at least 1,000 hours. All people of marginalized or non-mainstream identities are encouraged to apply.
Please send a cover letter that answers the questions at the end of this post. I like cover letters better than resumes.
Position Requirements:
- Availability: You must be available to work at least two evenings per week, with the option to add a few hours on weekends.
- Clients: We expect you to carry a caseload of at least 15 clients per week, preferably 20 or more.
- Growth Opportunity: Initially, you may start with 1 or 2 clients, but you are expected to handle up to 10 clients per week within two months or sooner. Your caseload will continue to grow over time.
- Compensation and Benefits: Pay for client hours starts at $42 per hour. We offer a pay increase once you reach a caseload of 16 or more. Additionally, we provide a 4% match for our 401K program. We are also looking into adding some adjunct health benefits (not full health insurance).
- Locations: Our clients are increasingly requesting in-person sessions; thus, your ability to work from our offices in downtown Oakland and Fremont is essential.
What We Offer:
- Client Base and Supervision: We will provide the clients and offer online supervision.
- Administrative Support: All billing and administrative duties are handled by us, including electronic submission of superbills.
- Technology: You should have a robust internet connection for online sessions, as we utilize Simple Practice for scheduling and notes.
Our Commitment to Inclusivity:
- We are a gender and LGBTQ affirming group, sex positive, and inclusive of all sexual orientations, lifestyles, ages, appearances, and body sizes. Training in these areas may be required, and we are particularly eager to hire someone with a gender or sexual minority status.
Application Process:
- Cover Letter and Resume: Please include a cover letter addressing the questions listed below. This is crucial for us to understand your fit for the role, so please include it at the beginning of your application.
-Commitment: A one-year commitment to the practice is required.
Questions to Answer in Your Cover Letter:
1. Where do you live, and how do you feel about working in person in the Oakland and Fremont areas?
2. How many hours do you still need for licensure?
3. What would be your ideal weekly caseload, and are you currently working at other placements?
4. What experience do you have with gender affirming and sex positive care?
5. What populations do you most enjoy working with and why? Do you have any specific niches, specialties, or special interest populations?
