Holding Both Counseling Workplace culture
We are creating an intentional workplace with therapists who share the following values:
Congruence between who we are professionally and the underlying core values we hold as humans.
Commitment to high standards in our professional work and a willingness to accept imperfection and evolution.
Creation of structures and routines to stay organized and self-managed, while caring for our mind, body, and spirit.
Desire for a high quality of life and knowledge that our needs will be met, balanced with enough ease to keep the work sustainable for the long-term.
Dedication to honoring each other’s strengths and learning from each other, while being supported by the overall structure and guidance of the practice.
are you who we’re looking for?
Do you love:
building authentic relationships with complex people and really digging into what will help them heal?
messy human-ness, exciting and unique neurodivergent brains (and the people attached to them), and people who have had to get creative in order to survive?
This won’t be a good fit (and that’s okay!) if you’re a therapist who:
relies on a strict protocol to treat clients.
likes clear cut problems that can be cleanly, and quickly, solved.
