    We are a psychologist-run psychotherapy niche private practice for women, couples, and teen girls!

Candidates would build full-time caseloads (~25 client hours/week) and have ~15 hours of postdoctoral training, documentation, coordination of client care, supervision meetings, and training opportunities, all as W2 employees with benefits.  Looking for residents who are passionate about working with our clientele, as well as developing their own specialties within our expanding client reach (therapy with families, couples, and adolescent girls). We are particularly interested if you have the training - or would like to pursue training in: • Imago Relationship Therapy • Somatic Experiencing • Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy • EMDR • Breathwork • Any healing modalities that add a body or spiritual dimension to psychotherapy We're interested in candidates who can see themselves staying with our team beyond postdoc and continuing to work with their clients for the longer-term. Start date is flexible, based on the needs of the ideal candidates and usually lands sometime in August or September.  Balanced Awakening believes strongly in creating an environment that advances postdoc's knowledge and incorporates flexibility, work-life balance and self-care.
