We are entering an exciting phase of expansion and are seeking a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PsyD or PhD) who is passionate about meaningful clinical work, values alignment and sustainability, and desires a well-supported, abundant practice environment. We are especially excited to connect with licensed psychologists who are well-established in their clinical work and are seeking a more supported, values-aligned environment for the next phase of their practice.
