Dedication
As a dedicated mental health professional, you've undoubtedly considered the prospect of starting your own private practice.

At our practice, we believe that joining a collaborative team of clinicians can provide you with the support, resources, and freedom to focus on what you do best—helping clients heal and grow. By becoming part of our team, you'll enjoy the benefits of shared expenses, reducing the financial burden of operating independently.

Together, we can create a space where clients and clinicians alike can thrive.
​
We value commitment and dedication in our team members, and we're seeking therapists who share this vision. If you're considering opening your own private or group practice within the next two years, we appreciate your entrepreneurial spirit but kindly ask that you refrain from applying or joining us at this time. Our goal is to build a stable and cohesive team, so we require a minimum two-year commitment from our therapists. By doing so, we can ensure continuity of care for our clients and maintain a supportive, collaborative environment where you can focus on providing exceptional therapeutic services.
