Child And Family Therapist

Who We Are

Our mission at Gifted Together is to support clinicians in providing the highest quality of therapeutic care for gifted and twice-exceptional children, parents, families, and adults through our Business Services and collaborative group connection. Please review our website (www.giftedtogether.org) to get a deeper understanding of our vision and values. Understanding of and experience with the gifted/twice exceptional population is helpful but not required. We provide in-depth training in this area.

Running your own therapy business can be challenging and isolating. Our goal is to provide independent therapists with a warm and collaborative clinical environment where you feel valued and appreciated as you develop and deepen your therapeutic skill among a supportive group of professionals. We value learning, consultation, and professional growth, and we encourage therapists who partner with us to expand their own areas of interest which might match the needs of our client base. For example, one therapist developed a social skills group around gaming; another formed a coding club once the need became apparent, etc. We also work together to provide collaborative care for the families we serve (e.g. one therapist sees a child, another sees their sibling, and another works with their parents). You will enjoy being a part of this kind and caring community.

Our Current Need

Gifted Together is currently seeking clinicians interested in establishing or expanding their private practice for in-person child therapy. Our clients are primarily children and youth ages 5–18. The clinicians in our community typically maintain a caseload of approximately 10–25 client sessions per week.
