Job Description

A full caseload, a four-day clinic week, and pay tied to every session you deliver.

Benefits that come with the role. Medical insurance, free dental, and free vision — plus two weeks off over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday, when our clinics close and everyone gets the same break. A space built for the work.
