About the Role

We are hiring a licensed therapist (LMHC, LICSW, LMFT, PsyD, or equivalent) who has experience or interest in expressive arts therapy, play-based therapy, somatic work, and/or other embodied/ creative modalities. This position is ideal for a therapist who values a relational and integrative approach to healing—someone who is grounded in trauma-informed care and interested in weaving together creative, expressive, and embodied modalities. We are looking for a clinician who sees therapy as a collaborative process, who is curious, reflective, and committed to deepening their work over time. The role is hybrid, but we strongly value in-person connection and ask that team members are available to work from our East Arlington office at least 50% of the time.

Qualifications

• Independent licensure in the state of Massachusetts (LMHC, LICSW, LMFT, or PsyD/PhD)
• Strong clinical skills and experience in trauma-informed care
• Training or interest in expressive arts therapy, somatic therapy, or creative modalities
• Commitment to anti-oppressive and inclusive therapeutic practice
• Reliable, self-motivated, and values working in a collaborative environment
• Experience with insurance-based practice is a plus, but not required

What We Offer

• Competitive pay structure
• Up to $70 per clinical hour
• Up to 5 hours of administrative time paid per week at $25/h
• 25 hours of PTO per year paid at clinical hourly rate
• Flexibility over your schedule
