WELCOME TO THE CONNECTIVE!
Are you looking for a rewarding, values-driven career in the wellness space? A collaborative workplace that also encourages professional autonomy and work/life balance? Are you interested becoming a part of growing company with a big heart? If so, please read on!
The Connective is a female-founded integrative mental health practice with locations in San Francisco and Benicia. We offer compassionate, comprehensive, and client-centered care for children, adults, couples, and families, with a deep commitment to whole-person wellness. We also believe that healing is rooted in connection, and we are committed to cultivating meaningful relationships— with our clients, our colleagues, and within our community.
ABOUT THE POSITION
As a therapist at The Connective, you will provide weekly outpatient therapy sessions to a dedicated caseload of self-pay clients. While our practice serves individuals of all ages, we are specifically seeking a clinician with a passion for working primarily with young children (ages 5+), tweens, adolescents, and families.
Our ideal candidate is eager to practice within a private/group practice model while actively engaging as a member of a holistic, multidisciplinary team. This individual values the opportunity to focus on delivering exceptional clinical care rather than managing the isolation and administrative burdens of independent practice.
