Clinical Trainee or Licensed Therapist W2 Position

About Bluebird Counseling Bluebird Counseling is a trauma-informed small group practice in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We are a group of "therapy nerds" who enjoy exploring theory, refining our craft, and having meaningful clinical conversations. We value clinicians who are creative, curious, and actively engaged in learning. We are committed to providing inclusive, affirming care that honors diverse identities and experiences, including LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming, and BIPOC communities. We are intentionally building a small, cohesive team (ultimately 6-8 clinicians). Our culture is grounded in a "therapist as self model" — we believe the therapist's identity, lived experience, and ways of thinking meaningfully shape their work. We support clinicians in practicing authentically, reflectively, and with integrity. This role is best suited for clinicians who are self-directed, motivated, and take ownership of their work.
