Job Description
Have you ever felt constrained in your ability to help others within the traditional mental healthcare model?

Teams work together to offer a tremendous amount of support and 1-on-1 time to clients.

Clinicians meet with clients for typically 3 hours at a time, perhaps several times per week, partaking in activities that support healing in client homes or out and about in the community such as hiking, sharing a meal, getting coffee, volunteering, taking a class together, etc. Full-time case load is only a few clients per clinician, allowing for extensive depth of healing and connection. A generous amount of supervision, mentoring and training is offered, including supervision toward licensure, if applicable.
