Associate Therapist Position

Juniper Therapy Center is seeking a skilled registered AMFT/ACSW/APCC for a part-time role seeing clients, virtually and/or in person in SF.

This is a fantastic opportunity for any Associate in California looking to build a caseload while getting hours for licensure and learning the ins and outs of private practice. The successful candidate will receive quality weekly supervision from a depth-oriented LPCC with extensive training and experience in a variety of trauma-focused modalities, including IFS, EMDR, and DBT.

The ideal candidate for this position is:

  • An ACSW, APCC, or AMFT with a registration number, in good standing with the BBS.

  • Has a minimum of 750 associate hours completed.

  • Has a strong relational and psychodynamic base from which to work compassionately with all clients.

  • Driven, independent and interested in working in a private practice and is excited about providing effective, relational trauma treatment to adults from a depth-oriented lens.

  • Highly organized, tech friendly, and an independent problem-solver.

  • Eager to market themselves using a therapy directory, listservs, and other means. I will actively market and refer clients to you, but that typically looks like 1 client per month. Therefore, your caseload growth depends largely on your active marketing. I will provide mentorship and coaching to you around this, as well!

  • Understanding of the expectation to build and maintain a caseload of 10+ clients/week.

  • Organized in their scheduling of clients.

  • Able to complete progress notes by the end of each business week.

Duties & Responsibilities:

  • Maintain all necessary client documentation using provided EHR (SimplePractice), e.g. informed consent, ROIs, progress notes, etc.

  • Attend weekly virtual supervision sessions, prepared and in a timely manner.

  • Stay current with their BBS registry and malpractice insurance coverage.

  • Follow all current legal and ethical requirements regarding his/her/their work as a registered Associate per relevant California guidelines.

Benefits:

  • 40% split of the collected fees earned by the Associate (min $150/session)

  • Weekly supervision with a supervisor who is IFS trained, EMDR certified, and has specialized training in complex PTSD and dissociative disorders

  • Ongoing referrals 

  • $500 productivity-based continuing education bonus

  • Work from home 

  • Make your own schedule

  • Private practice building skills

  • Opportunity to stay on post-licensure

Values:

  • We honor all parts of an individual with compassion and understanding.

  • We recognize that pathology is a means of coping with difficult past or current circumstances.

  • We believe that therapy should be neurobiologically-informed, attuned, and effective.

  • We value and strive to create a work environment that is supportive of your growth and cognizant of your unique strengths as a therapist.

  • We believe in and act upon the need for ongoing education, growth, and development for ourselves as humans and helpers.
