Expectations:

Learning DBT is like learning a new language, and takes time to master. Someone that feels tired or overwhelmed at the thought of learning more would not be a good match. Safe Spaces -Our team works hard to create safe spaces for all humans in order to create the best conditions for healing. Someone that has biases preventing them from doing anti-racism and LGBTQ+ affirming work, for example, would not do well in our practice. Human To Human Connection -We are a feedback driven culture and seek someone who embraces growth, contributes as a supportive team member, and takes accountability. Those who view feedback only as criticism and struggle with accountability won't align well with our team. We operate as a team and are looking for individuals who are seeking out an environment that is supportive and encouraging. Position Details +
