Thrive for the People, PLLC is a high-end group practice providing individual and couples therapy in Seattle, WA. We are located in the Ballard neighborhood. Here at Thrive for the People, you will join a dynamic team of therapists and administrative staff who value each other and hold a mindset of growth and abundance.

This is a process-oriented, relational, and emotionally focused group practice. We have a team of exceptional therapists and administrative staff to meet the needs of our diverse clients.

The leadership team is committed to the mentorship and training of all staff. We strive to create a community of like-minded professionals who are invested in each other’s growth as individuals and professionals.

We are looking for a full-time, masters-level associate therapist (LMFTA, LMHCA, LSWAIC) with specialized training and clinical interest in treating trauma and working with couples.

This is an hourly W-2 position. Some of the marketing and networking events will require occasional work in the evenings and on weekends (e.g., tabling at community events, hosting live workshops, etc.).

This is a partially remote and partially in-office position. The ideal candidate will have the ability to provide services in their home office and at our Ballard office.

$72,000 - $90,000 annually depending on the caseload
