Open Therapy Positions

Opening Date: 4/1/2024
Closing Date: Upon hire.

This is a unique position that provides opportunity for a therapist to see teens and adults on Fridays and weekend hours. Caseload: 10+ clients per week. Sentier currently has one other therapist who only sees clients on the weekends, which means this therapist will have weekend therapist community. 

$1000 signing bonus!

Why work at Sentier?

We were hoping you would ask.

• We meet a unique need in our community, offering specialized care and treatment for teens/families and specifically individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+. Our team consists of members and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community and we offer inclusive individual and group services to meet specific mental health needs that exist within these populations.
• Our team has fun. We are a group of therapists who value not only our client work, but also a healthy work environment. We cultivate a safe space to grow and learn, while enjoying our time together as a team. We provide ample opportunity for therapist community on our team and are known for team overnights and outings.
• We recognize our need for ongoing evaluation of our own areas of potential privilege and bias in the areas of race, class, age, ability, gender, and sexual orientation. Within our team, we have a subcommittee dedicated to furthering our mission for the pursuit of justice in our practice and broader community.
• Creativity is honored and supported. Feeling inspired? Sentier provides room for artistic license to create and implement groups, seminars, workshops, trainings, and more.
• Flexibility. We recognize the work of a therapist is difficult and taxing at times and honor the integration of balance and rest within our work schedules. We work hard to prevent therapist burnout on our team.
• Financial support for licensing and continuing education. At Sentier, we value education and provide therapists with opportunities to pursue specific areas of interest, while staying on top of best practices in our field ($600-$1000 per year based on size of caseload). We provide internal licensure supervision for clinicians who are not yet fully licensed or provide funding for supervision if external support is needed. Internal supervision is provided during regular business day hours.
• $1000 signing bonus. Money isn’t everything, but it is something.
• Generous bonus plan for full-time (15+ clients per week) therapists.
• One size does not fit all here. Sentier has a supportive management team who are responsive to the unique needs of each therapist.
