Licensed Therapist

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 entering an exciting phase of expansion and are seeking a Licensed Therapist (LCSW, LCPC, or LMFT) who is passionate about meaningful clinical work, values alignment and sustainability, and desires a well-supported, abundant practice environment.

We are especially excited to connect with licensed clinicians who are well-established in their clinical work and are seeking a more supported, abundant, and values-aligned environment for the next phase of their practice.

This role is particularly well-suited for clinicians who value autonomy, strong infrastructure, and long-term sustainability in their practice.
