Associate Mental Health Counselor: LMHCA, LMFTA, LAICSW

A little bit about Thrive Counseling:

At Thrive Counseling Center, we believe that our clients deserve nothing less than exceptional services and support.

We also believe that the time between graduation and licensure is a time rich with opportunities to develop your clinical skills, as well as an opportunity to explore who you are as a therapist: what kind of clients do you love to work with? What kind of theoretical orientations or approaches to therapy do you want to learn more about? How do you manage (and thrive) within the energy balance of supporting others while also having a fulfilling personal life?

Our work culture weaves the values of support, balance, integrity, stability, diversity, healthy communication, and love of learning into all that we do.

Our Associate Therapists benefit from being part of our established practice, having access to exceptional supervision and support, all while exercising their passion for therapy and counseling, but without having to spend the extraordinary amount of time on administrative tasks that come from being on your own.
