About Mind Lodge

At Mind Lodge, we believe no one should have to navigate life’s challenges alone. We’re a warm, client-centered practice dedicated to fostering meaningful healing in a welcoming space where individuals are encouraged to grow, connect, and rediscover their inner strength.

We are a growing team of clinicians supported by dedicated administrative and operational support that allows our therapists to focus on what they do best—providing high-quality care and building meaningful relationships with their clients.

As our practice continues to grow, we are expanding both our team and our physical space to meet the needs of our community. We are intentional about creating a connected, collaborative environment where clinicians feel supported, valued, and able to build a practice that fits their strengths and interests.

We’re looking for clinicians who want to be part of a growing practice while maintaining the autonomy and flexibility of private practice, with the support of a team behind them.

Position Overview

We are seeking a compassionate and skilled part-time or full-time clinician to join our team at Mind Lodge. The ideal candidate will have the flexibility to see 15 to 30 clients per week, providing therapeutic support and guidance to individuals from diverse backgrounds.

We are especially interested in a licensed therapist who is comfortable working with a broad range of clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. We value clinicians who bring a range of clinical interests and are able to meet clients where they are, while developing strong therapeutic relationships across different ages and presenting concerns.

Additional areas of experience or interest are a plus, including Christian or faith-based therapy, couples therapy, EMDR, trauma-focused care, and other specialized clinical approaches. We welcome clinicians with diverse strengths and are interested in adding therapists who can complement the existing services and expertise within our growing team.

Evening and weekend availability tends to fill the fastest—having some flexibility in these time slots can help you build your caseload more quickly, though it is not required.

  • Clinical experience preferred
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and time management skills

Schedule
