their wings, roll their sleeves up, and excited about creatively meeting the needs of PFWC staff

• Are enthusiastic about participating in a wellness community with a commitment to collaborative client care.

• Are interested in reflective practice and supervision, and have a passion for helping clinicians develop their own unique professional identities;

• Work independently to provide clients with an exceptional therapy experience by representing the Parent and Family Wellness Center through excellent judgment and professional conduct at all times;

• Are currently paneled with major insurance companies and Medicaid in Colorado, or are willing to become paneled;

• Are committed to Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity work and seeks to support and treat all mothers and families across diverse identities, family systems, and backgrounds.

Professional Requirements:

• Full Clinical Licensure in the state of Colorado is required (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) and 3000 + post-degree clinical hours;

• At least five years of progressively-responsible experience on a clinical team, preferably with some amount of supervisory experience or interest in clinical supervision;

• Has or is willing to undergo formal basic training in perinatal mental health;

• Has additional training, basic knowledge, or experience with couples and family systems, child-focused therapy, addiction, and/or trauma treatment.

Compensation:

This role can be structured as either FT, PT, or PT growing into FT. Full-time salary of $66,000-81,000, depending on experience and responsibilities. FT compensation includes a revenue share.

Full-time benefits include 3 weeks of PTO per year plus paid holidays; health insurance; dental and vision; retirement plan; annual membership to PSI and annual professional development/CEU contribution; flexible work schedule.
