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 and allow you to lead a fulfilling and comfortable life outside of work. 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.

Overview
At Embodied Wellness Center, we’re building a practice where therapists can do meaningful, sustainable work without burning out. We’re a woman-owned, Chicago-based integrative mental health group practice specializing in mind-body therapy. We are seeking a Clinical Director that either has strong leadership experience or is a senior clinician (with at least 2 years of post-full licensure experience) who is ready to step into a leadership role. Our ideal candidate is highly organized, administratively reliable, and committed to supporting a team of clinicians while upholding our mission of providing holistic, mind-body therapy.
This role will begin with a primary focus on clinical work. As the clinician becomes established in their caseload and demonstrates strong performance, they will have the opportunity to gradually take on supervisory and leadership responsibilities, with a clear pathway toward a Clinical Director role over time.
Our practice is rooted in integrative, somatic approaches. We value clinicians trained in modalities such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), yoga therapy, dance/movement therapy (DMT), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, Reiki, breathwork, or mindfulness-based practices.
This is a fully remote role; however, candidates must reside in Illinois and hold an active Illinois license.

- Enjoys mentoring and developing other clinicians while maintaining their own clinical work
