Mindful Matters is a trauma-informed private practice in Tempe, Arizona, seeking a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) who is clinically strong, motivated, and interested in building a long-term career in private practice. This is an excellent opportunity for an LAC who wants the autonomy of private practice while having access to clinical supervision, a professional office environment, practice infrastructure, referrals, and a collaborative clinical community. We are especially interested in clinicians who have already begun developing a professional referral network, have experience generating referrals, or have an established clinical niche they want to grow. What Makes This Opportunity Different At Mindful Matters, we don't want to simply hand you a caseload and tell you what to do. We want to help you build a sustainable clinical career.

If you are currently practicing elsewhere, we do not expect or encourage you to solicit, pressure, or improperly transfer existing clients. Client welfare and client choice always come first. If a client independently chooses to seek services with Mindful Matters after an appropriate transition and in accordance with applicable ethical, legal, contractual, and confidentiality requirements, we are happy to support that transition appropriately. We are interested in your professional network and ability to develop referrals—not in recruiting another practice's clients.
