Live In Somatic Therapist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Balanced Awakening, we do things differently. We are a boutique, psychologist-led psychotherapy practice with a heart-centered, growth-oriented culture where clinicians are supported in doing deep, meaningful work — without burnout.

We are currently accepting applications for our Post-Master’s Clinical Fellowships (LCPC and LCSW tracks) and are seeking clinicians who are passionate about psychotherapy, committed to their growth, and ready to develop within a highly supportive and values-aligned team.

Each track is supported by dedicated supervisors and tailored to the specific licensure requirements and clinical development of LCPC and LCSW clinicians. Our fellowship programs are designed for clinicians who are ready to build a strong clinical foundation, deepen their therapeutic voice, and grow into confident, skilled psychotherapists within a structured and supportive clinical environment.

We maintain a small, intentionally selected cohort to ensure depth of training and support.

This role is designed for clinicians who are ready to take ownership of their development while practicing within a supportive and well-held clinical environment. It moves at a meaningful pace and is best suited for those who are ready to step into consistent clinical work early in their development.
