Mental Health Therapist

Emily Wish, LLC is looking for a full-time Therapist to join our expanding clinical team in our Helena, MT location. Emily Wish, LLC offers outpatient services including individual therapy, nutrition therapy, therapeutic meal support, support groups, group therapy, and an outpatient intensive program for those struggling with disordered eating, eating disorders, and those looking to heal their relationship with food and body.

We are seeking someone with a specific passion for advocating from an anti-diet stance to work within our mission of abolishing diet culture and diet mentality through a Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, Body Trust, and a trauma informed lens. If you have a special interest in eating disorder prevention, social justice, the roots of fatphobia, weight stigma, and being part of creating growth towards a diverse and weight inclusive world, we would love to have you part of our team!
