Careers
Why You'll Love Working Here:
We believe therapists do their best work when they can take care of themselves too. At Embodied Wellness Center, you have real control over your schedule. Whether you’re part-time or full-time, you can structure your week in a way that supports your energy, your life, and your self-care, while still showing up fully for your clients.
Balance
We don’t reward overworking or equate exhaustion with commitment. Caseload expectations are intentionally set below typical private practice norms because sustainability matters. You’re supported in maintaining a realistic workload that allows you to stay present, grounded, and engaged, both in session and outside of work.
Competitive Benefits
We believe meaningful clinical work should also provide financial stability. Our compensation and benefits are designed so clinicians can earn a solid living without sacrificing their wellbeing. That includes competitive pay, paid time off, and full administrative support, so your time and energy stay focused where they belong.
