Now hiring! Part Time position for CA Licensed Mental Health Professional

Are you a psychotherapist in San Diego with a special interest and training in Sexual Health? Do you want to work in a private practice setting without the effort, or financial risks of starting your own small business?

Affirming Therapy Center is small, growing group practice, and is seeking a part-time (weekend-only), licensed mental health professional to join the team as an independent contractor. The organization treats adult individuals and relationships, with specialization in serving communities of gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity (including LGBTQ, kink, fetish, polyamory/swingers/consensual non-monogamy, and adult industry professionals). Above all, we are looking for a therapist with a desire to serve sexual minority communities and clients with sexual health concerns in a non-judgmental, open, and affirming way.

We provide a furnished office in Mission Valley 1-2 days/week. Additionally, you will have access to the electronic record management system (including scheduling, notes, and billing), office internet, copy machine/printer/scanner, and your profile will be included in the web page, and on various online directories. Some client referrals are expected but not guaranteed. Some professional networking is expected from the candidate.

This is the perfect position for someone who has a job at an agency but wants to experience working with higher functioning clientele from diverse backgrounds, a stay-at-home parent who doesn’t have time for a full-time position but wants to keep current in their therapy skills, a university professor who enjoys teaching but also wants to continue practicing psychotherapy, or someone pursuing another kind of job / industry who still has a desire work as a therapist.

While this opportunity is designed as a part-time/weekend-only position at the moment, there is room to grow within the group into a full-time position.

Requirements:
– Licensed Mental Health Professional within the state of California
– Experience and additional training in Couple’s Therapy (Emotionally Focused Therapy training is preferred)
– Specialized knowledge, training, and passion for working with Kink/BDSM and Polyamory/Consensual Non-monogamy
– Additional training in basic Sex Therapy principles and interventions is a plus
