Associate Mental Health Therapist (LMHCA or LMFTA) - January

January cohort: Catalyst Counseling in Spokane is hiring for our next cohort of associate clinicians. We have been in Washington for a decade and we are opening our Spokane location in January of 2027. We have an extensive training program to help new graduates become the next leaders in mental health care. We're a warm community of nerds and creatives! We treat you like a human - we honor your wisdom and experience, and we work to create a supportive community to help our clinicians thrive. Please note: For associate clinicians, we are currently hiring for our January 2027 cohort. For fully licensed clinicians, at this time we are only interviewing fully licensed clinicians who want to attend and participate in our associate training cohort. Sponsorship: Supporting clinicians with lived immigrant experience is a primary goal of our agency. Yes, we do offer green card sponsorship to our employees and we can do H1B transfers. We are not lottery-exempt. Our agency works with teens 15+ and adults. We handle all the back end billing, insurance, marketing, and administrative tasks so you can focus on your clients. We offer full benefits (medical, dental, CEU fund) to clinicians with a full time caseload. Our practice has established referral sources -- plus we help you create a professional presence so that you are more consistently working with clients within your practice focus. Please note: This is a hybrid in-person and telehealth position. To be considered for this position you must plan to be located in Washington State by the start date and have a private, professional space to conduct video therapy sessions.
