Job Description

About Us

We are a dynamic, client-centered organization dedicated to providing high-quality, culturally responsive, and compassionate care to individuals, families, and communities. Our team values collaboration, professional growth, and a supportive work environment where clinicians can thrive while serving diverse populations.

Position Overview

The Healing & Hope Foundation is offering a rare and highly selective opportunity for a small number of exceptional Associates pursuing licensure.

This is more than an internship—it’s a career-defining track designed for clinicians who are passionate about group private practice, community-driven work, and innovative approaches to healing. We are seeking motivated Associate Clinicians (AMFT, APCC, ACSW).

This role is ideal for associates working toward licensure who are passionate about mental health care, committed to ethical practice, and eager to grow in a supportive clinical environment.

We partner with Epiphany Counseling, offering a unique opportunity for those interested in private practice while also making therapy accessible to communities in need. Our primary office is located in San Pedro, CA, however we have satellite offices throughout Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County.

As an Associate Clinician, you will provide direct clinical services under the supervision of licensed clinicians, including individual, family, couples and group therapy. You will also receive ongoing supervision, training, and professional development opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide outpatient therapy to individuals, families, and/or groups in-person and/or via telehealth.
  • Conduct intakes, assessments, treatment planning, and progress notes in compliance with ethical, clinical, and legal standards.
  • Maintain accurate, timely, and thorough documentation in the electronic health record (EHR).
  • Participate in weekly clinical supervision with a licensed supervisor.
  • Attend staff meetings, case consultations, and training sessions as required.
  • Collaborate with supervisors and colleagues to ensure continuity of care and best practices.
  • Uphold confidentiality, HIPAA compliance, and professional standards of care.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, or related field.
  • Registered with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) as an AMFT, APCC, or ACSW in good standing.
  • Strong commitment to professional ethics, client-centered care, and cultural humility.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and documentation skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Flexibility to provide services in-person and/or via telehealth as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience providing therapy in outpatient, community-based, or school settings.
  • Familiarity with evidence-based practices (e. g., CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care).
  • Bilingual or multilingual skills (preferred but not required).

What We Offer

  • Weekly individual and/or group clinical supervision toward licensure hours.
  • Ongoing training, workshops, and professional development opportunities.
  • Supportive team culture with opportunities for growth.
  • Flexible scheduling options (part-time and full-time availability).
  • Competitive compensation based on experience and caseload.
