You will work with clients from diverse backgrounds who may require support for issues related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use. Understanding the unique needs of this population will be crucial in fostering a safe and effective therapeutic relationship.

Qualifications
  • A Bachelor's degree in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, or a related field.
  • An active, valid LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), or LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) license in California.
  • A minimum of two years of experience delivering mental health counseling, preferably in an outpatient or telehealth setting.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, paired with strong time-management capabilities.
  • Comfortable utilizing digital tools for assessments and clinical documentation.

  • Familiarity with evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Therapy.
  • A proven ability to manage a diverse caseload efficiently and effectively.
