Mind Body Wellness is Growing!
Are you a West Virginia licensed therapist who brings a gentle blend of humility and curiosity to your work?
Are you a West Virginia licensed therapist who brings a gentle blend of humility and curiosity to your work? Perhaps you have been described as an outside-of-the-box thinker (ethical, yet willing to question the medical model) who understands and appreciates the connection between mind, body and spirit? You care about your clients and truly want to help them discover their wellness in their healing journey. You are equally committed to your own healing journey..
You are passionate about the work you do. You are interested in neurodivergence and working from a neuroaffirming lens. When it comes to trauma, you work from a strengths-based, non-pathologizing approach. You ask “What happened to you?” and then follow-up with “What is the impact of that on you today?” You trust in the wisdom that each individual brings to the therapeutic process. You believe in the power of community. You are dedicated to always learning and growing both professionally and personally.
You are craving a career where you get to focus on what you love (your clients’ healing journey and your own) without having to worry about running a business, marketing yourself, paying quarterly estimated taxes, existing alone on the private practice island, or being a therapy-producing machine. You are longing for a career where you can show up as your authentic self, quirks and all. You want to work in a place where the culture values you as a human being first and foremost.
Well, hello! We’re Mind Body Wellness and we’re glad you found us. You might be the perfect fit for our team.
We created Mind Body Wellness as a place of healing and hope for therapists who want the perks of being in private practice (autonomy, low caseload, stellar work/life balance) and the benefits of being part of an agency (income stability, supportive community, an awesome, caring, and collaborative team of like-minded people) without the headaches of owning your own business or having to navigate bureaucratic red tape.
Basically, we’re a haven for talented, smart, passionate people who want to become expert-level neuroaffirming trauma therapists without sacrificing their sanity or wellbeing in the process..

You're NOT a good fit for this position if you’re…
Not interested in a full-time position (4-5 days per week seeing a mix of individual clients and running at least one online or in-person group/workshop week)
Not interested in advanced training (either in-house or at an approved CEU provider) in the following areas:
Experiential group models
Neuroaffriming care
Trauma
Not interested in expanding and improving your therapy skills
Unable to self-manage your workday (i.e. you need a lot of oversight to get things done)

Not engaged in your own healing journey
Not committed to humility and curiosity
Not looking to be part of a collaborative team
If you’re are offended by the occasional f-bomb
Opposed to working for a business that supports social justice causes, advocates for inclusivity in the therapy room and generally aims to smash the patriarchy a little bit each day

Therapists of all colors, backgrounds, religions (or lack thereof), sexual orientations, neurodivergence and gender identities who are passionate about working with teens and/or adults from a neuroaffirming, strengths-based, non-pathologizing approach are encouraged to apply.
