About The Position

Our mission is to inspire unapologetic authenticity, dismantle barriers to affirming wellness services and entrepreneurship, and create lasting impact for our clients, our providers, and our communities. This isn’t just a contracting gig or a job. It’s a community. It’s a shared vision for what mental health and wellness care can look like when we center liberation, equity, and collective well-being. If you’ve been looking for a space to take your career to the next level, where you don’t have to compartmentalize your values, your identities, or your needs — you may have just found it. Open Space CCW was founded in 2018 with a vision of creating a safe, inclusive, and progressive space where people can move from merely surviving to truly thriving--for both our providers and our clients. We created a safe space for affirming, equity-rooted mental health care that never asks anyone to shrink or mask to belong. We are advocates, and practice from an anti-oppressive framework, which means we call out bullsh!t when we see it and work to disrupt systems that are harmful. Our mission: Eliminate fear of judgment as a barrier to personal growth and wellness, and ensure a safe space for affirming, equity-rooted care that never asks anyone to shrink or mask to belong. Our model: Independent contractors + Built-in business mentorship + A practice full of unapologetically affirming providers who share your values and your passion.
