We’re growing our team!
update 4/11/24: if you are rostered, non-licensed read on!
You’re a therapist who wants to do good work and be paid a sustainable living wage. You may be tired of working in a system that consistently underpays and overworks therapists. You’ve considered (or are already in) private practice, but the marketing, shouldering all the expenses and headache of running a practice, paying an extra 15% in self-employment taxes, and being all alone just is NOT for you.
You’d love to find a practice that pays you a generous wage and offers benefits that allow you to support yourself, your (chosen) family, and community. AND, you want to be a part of a rad team of practitioners you look forward to seeing, who you learn from, and who share your approach to therapy as a tool for liberation. At the end of a hard clinical day, you want to be glowing because you know you did excellent work with clients you love.
This is precisely what we’re building here. And you don’t even need to live in Vermont to be a part of it!
We are hiring our second and third full-time therapists to join our mighty team of three (a full-time therapist, a part-time Managing Clinical Supervisor, and an acupuncturist/herbalist).
Are you?
integrating the body into the work that you do (or want to receive the financial support to begin that training?)
Queer and Trans-celebrating
Neurodiversity-aligned
an unabashed intersectional feminist
grounded and have good boundaries? Read on!
How it works:
We will build you a full-time caseload of 23 weekly clients. You will pull potential clients from a waiting list that is growing steadily.
You decide when you want to work with the exception of one 3-8PM period/week and one monthly Friday morning for staff meeting and somatic trauma training. We have offices in Bristol and Burlington, VT. Fully remote possible for the right clinician.
If you’re not in VT, you apply for an “Interim Telehealth Registration” (which takes 10 mins) to practice with VT clients.
You meet for bi-monthly supervision with our Managing Clinical Supervisor.
We all convene monthly for Clinical Grand Rounds where we learn together and build skills around trauma transformation from an intersectional lens
After 6 consecutive weeks of seeing 23 clients/week, your tax-free health stipend kicks in and you start accruing toward your 3 weeks off/year
The logistics:
Required
Master’s degree with Vermont licensure OR “Interim Telehealth Registration” to practice as a LCMHC, LICSW, LPCC, LMFT, or LADC in good standing
Willingness to begin certification in a somatic modality upon joining the practice if you don’t have this training already with generous support of $850 from the practice (see below for non-exhaustive list of options)
Embodied understanding and/or lived experience with communities experiencing marginalization and/or multiple marginalization
Trauma-informed / trauma transformational approach
Desired but not required

Inclusion and Non-Discrimination Statement (credit: Radical Healing)
Systems of power, privilege, and oppression have traditionally created barriers for persons and groups with particular identities, ages, abilities, and histories. We pledge to do all we can to replace such barriers with ever-widening circles of solidarity and mutual respect. We strive to be a center for health and healing that truly welcomes all persons and commits to structuring our work in ways that empower and enhance everyone’s participation.
We intentionally welcome all. We foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. We value the diversity of differences which includes (but is not limited to) gender identity and its expression, age, race, ethnicity, and national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, financial means, family structure, educational and class status and political perspective.
