Job Description

Job Summary:

Vista Counseling is seeking a passionate and experienced therapist to join our team.

We are looking for someone who can bring a positive and optimistic outlook to their work, with a strong emphasis on promoting positive change, resilience, and hope for the families we serve.

Want to work for a locally-owned company? Vista Counseling is a successful and professionally run counseling private practice established in 2002.

Vista has a proven track record of helping our clients, while also greatly improving the quality of life of our therapists. We are seeking mental health providers who demonstrate a heart for helping clients, with excellent counseling experience and skills.

We offer a collaborative and professional environment for highly skilled therapists.

Our goal is to help therapists focus on therapy, while we take care of the business side of a clinical practice.

Now Coming to Bend, Redmond and Central Oregon!

We have a strong track record over 20 years in building an excellent therapist experience in our practices.

We are excited to be bringing this foundation to Central Oregon, with members of our leadership team based in Bend. These leaders are building a high-quality team of therapists and providing opportunities for face-to-face connection with your colleagues.

While this is a telehealth only position currently, our vision is for a brick-and-mortar office to serve as our cultural “center of gravity” and allow for in-person sessions.

We love what we do and it shows!
