What are the responsibilities and job description for the Outpatient Mental Health Therapist position at Encompass Life Therapy?
Encompass Life Therapy is seeking a compassionate, curious, and growth-oriented mental health therapist who is interested in developing expertise in Lifespan Integration (LI) a trauma-resolution therapy.
Our practice specializes in Lifespan Integration, and we are looking for a clinician who doesn't simply want a place to see clients—but wants an opportunity to learn, grow, and develop as a trauma therapist within an LI-focused practice.
Previous Lifespan Integration training is not required. In fact, this may be an excellent opportunity for a clinician who has been wanting to learn LI and is looking for a practice where they can receive training, clinical support, and ongoing exposure to the model.
We welcome both fully licensed clinicians and newer clinicians who are working toward independent licensure.
Our therapists work with individuals, children, adolescents, and families experiencing concerns related to trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and other mental health concerns.
Because Lifespan Integration is central to the work we do, the ideal clinician will be genuinely interested in learning the model and incorporating LI into their clinical practice.
