Join us! We are hiring two full-time, fully licensed therapists or provisionally licensed therapists for our Frankfort and Lagrange locations. We are most interested in therapists with a background in child and adolescent therapy and/or couples therapy, but will consider all specialties. We will also consider a part-time position for the right fit.

When you’re looking for a job, what do you look for? Established practice, referral base, billing manager...Sure, we’ve got that. But so does 90% of group practices.

What sets us apart? Our PEOPLE. We’re looking for a fit for our culture. We love our team, truly enjoy coming to work, and are hoping to find the perfect fit for our incredible practice. We are a team of self-professed nerds and lifelong learners. We offer 16+ group supervision opportunities per month. We especially geek out about attachment and trauma. Our clients are #1, and ensuring the best possible care is a no-brainer. We are constantly seeking new resources to add to our tool box. We enjoy each other so much we get together several times a year to do fun things together outside of work (escape room, sunset cruise, painting party...to name a few).

What sets you apart? This is what we want to know!!! Licensed therapist? Great, (hopefully) so is everyone else applying for this job. You love kids, couples work? We can make those referrals happen! As a growing practice, we’re looking to tap into your strengths, your interests, and what makes you tick. We want to see you shine.

We don’t preach “work-life balance” – we own it. It’s the second paragraph in our employee manual (right after clinical autonomy)! We work together as a cohesive team, we have each other’s backs, and we truly ENJOY what we do – and it shows. That means when you need a break, help is at hand. When you need support, it is there to be found. WE BELIEVE SELF CARE IS ESSENTIAL. It shows in our client relations, and in our attitude toward each other.

Our practice turned 10 this year (!), which means we have weathered a few storms (hello pandemic) and come out strong. Our model is built around our values and ethics. We follow the rules and we think in the long term, making our practice a safe place for you to build your career in a sustainable way. This also means that we have built a strong referral base to build your caseload from. Our director spends a lot of time thinking about how to make this a great place to work! We think you will like it here.
