Job Description

At Psych Lab, we believe that therapy is about more than just alleviating symptoms; it's about helping our clients become whole. We are not just technicians; we are healers, tasked with facilitating developmental growth and helping our clients to fully enjoy their lives​.

We are currently seeking a dedicated therapist who shares our trauma-informed approach and is ready to commit to the long-term healing of our clients.

To contact us, please reach out by email, rather than using the built-in MHC chat feature. hiring@psychlab.us

About You:

  • You are interested in looking beyond the client's stated problem and towards their holistic health and emotional maturity​​.
  • You see therapy as a relational process, understanding that every interaction with the client is part of the therapeutic relationship and should be thought of as a therapeutic intervention.
  • You are ready to commit to the consistent, responsive, and mindful interactions that are key to repairing insecure attachments and promoting developmental growth​.
  • You understand that therapy is not a quick fix but a journey that often takes longer than one year, and you are ready to stay in one place long enough to facilitate that type of healing.
  • You love consulting with colleagues and sharing your conceptualizations, and are looking for a passionate and engaged team to be a part of.
  • You are a lifelong learner and would be genuinely excited to join in on our weekly psychotherapy study group.
