We aim to build a diverse community of therapists who can collaborate and support each other.

We offer competitive compensation with uncapped earning potential, health benefits including medical and dental, a team-oriented atmosphere, paid holidays and PTO (including your birthday), flexible scheduling, paid case consultations, paid continuing education time, and paid time for therapy note documentation.
