[PART-TIME] Licensed Clinical Therapist (3+ Years Experience) – EMDR & Trauma-Informed Care

 

  • At Heal & ReLeaf, we are driven by a powerful mission: to support individuals on their healing journey and help them thrive through trauma-informed care. We recognize that meaningful healing happens when clinicians feel supported and empowered in their work. That’s why we are looking for passionate and dedicated licensed clinical therapists for a part-time role in a private practice setting who are excited about being part of their clients’ transformative healing journeys.

    Whether you are EMDR-trained, certified, or have a trauma-informed approach, we value your experience and the unique perspective you bring to the healing process. EMDR training or certification is highly valued (but not required). For EMDR-trained clinicians, we provide consultation hours toward EMDRIA certification.

    We offer a nurturing and collaborative environment where you can grow, refine your skills, and make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve.
