Child and Family Therapist for Integrative Group Practice - San Francisco

The Connective • San Francisco, CA

89d • $31,000 - $118,000

About The Position

As a therapist at The Connective, you will provide weekly outpatient therapy sessions to a dedicated caseload of self-pay clients. Our practice serves individuals across the lifespan, and we welcome clinicians with diverse areas of expertise and passion. For this particular position, we are seeking a clinician with a specialization or strong interest in working with children (ages 5+), teens and families. The ideal Connective therapist is excited to join a group practice where collaboration and connection are at the heart of the work. They thrive in a team environment and value the opportunity to focus on what truly matters – providing exceptional care to their clients without the isolation or administrative burdens that come with agency work or running a solo practice. Please note that The Connective is not a private practice incubator or a stepping stone for therapists aiming to eventually establish their own independent practice. We’re looking for practitioners who are dedicated to becoming an integral part of our wellness collective and growing with our team long-term.
