Private Practice Opportunity

Community Roots Counseling is a community-focused group private practice seeking a Licensed or Associate Therapist to join our growing team. This role is ideal for clinicians who want to do meaningful, relationship-centered therapy in a supportive environment—without the high burnout, productivity pressure, or instability often found in agency settings.

We are open to both part-time and full-time clinicians, depending on availability, interest, and fit.

About Community Roots Counseling

Community Roots Counseling was created to provide thoughtful, high-quality mental health care while also supporting the well-being of clinicians. We believe therapists do their best work when they feel supported, respected, and grounded—not rushed or overwhelmed.

Our practice values depth of work, collaboration, ethical care, and sustainability for both clients and clinicians.

Why This Role Is Different

This is a practice for therapists who want to grow professionally while maintaining balance and longevity in the field.
