Job Description
Therapy Center Houston is a therapist-owned group practice providing high-quality, evidence-based mental health care to adults, couples, and families.

- Active Texas license (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or Psychologist), or an associate license (LPC-A, LMSW, LMFT-A) with at least 1,500 hours completed
- Experience or strong interest in working with adults and/or couples
