Program Overview: Living Tree Wellness Center provides a safe space for exploration and self-acceptance to restore a person's power to live life most authentically so they can author their lives. 

Living Tree Wellness Center opened its doors as a single-employee private practice in November 2019. Since then, we have expanded to offer online groups, and include animal-assisted therapies in our services. At Living Tree Wellness Center, we believe "Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime work, but it is worth the effort—Fred Rodgers." We extend this belief to each client, employee, and partnership we connect with believing this is how we create a better tomorrow.

About me: My name is Marlena Johnson, I have been an LCSW since Dec of 2017 and have worked in Yamhill County as a mental health provider for the past 7 years in various capacities. My focus areas have been trauma, mood disorders, and substance use recovery. I also have experience with career counseling and SPMI populations. Since the pandemic, I have noticed an increase in the types of concerns potential clients are seeking. Unfortunately, I am unable to keep up with the needs of Oregon communities. To better serve Living Tree Wellness Centers mission I am seeking to expand to a group practice this year and bring on other clinicians to fill needs in our community.

Position Overview: We are expanding our practice to better meet the needs of the diverse populations that call Oregon home. We are hoping to add an LMFT/LMFT-A or LCSW with experience in marriage and family therapy to better support parents and couples in Oregon.

We are seeking a candidate with a desire to help shape and grow how services are delivered at Living Tree Wellness Center. If you have a desire to give back to the next generation of practitioners and expand the reach and service programs available by Living Tree Wellness Center then this is your creative opportunity. This is a w-2 position with pay and taxes managed by payroll programs.

The Mental Health Therapist is responsible for providing direct clinical services to the community within the scope and interest of practice. Ideal candidates will have their degree and state license (IE: an LCSW, or LMFT). Services will be delivered via teletherapy, in group settings, or for couples/ families (depending on experience and scope of practice). This position requires the Mental Health Therapist to report directly to the manager, participate in staff meetings, and consult on client needs. They will participate in ongoing training and education to maintain licensure while adhering to the licensing board and ethical standards while following the guidelines of Living Tree Wellness Centers mission and objectives. The Mental Health Therapist will be responsible for intake assessments, diagnosis, treatment plans, service delivery, and all documentation for clients.

Roles and Duties:

Provide between 25 -30 hours of Clinical Counseling Services to clients of Living Tree Wellness Center following company policies and scope of practice.

Adhere to all laws, rules, regulations, and codes of ethics that are binding upon or applicable to the services performed by Living Tree Wellness Center.

Engage in team communication, clinical consultation, supervision, and training opportunities each month.

Completed intake assessments, and treatment plans, deliver evidence-based therapeutic interventions, and termination clinical documentation with each client.

Qualifications: Priority will be given to those interested in providing equine-assisted services and who live close enough to West Linn Oregon to provide those services in person.

Candidates must be fully licensed and live in the State of Oregon (LMFT, or LCSW).

Applicants are required to pass a criminal background check.

Candidates are required to have computer skills and the ability to learn and utilize electronic health record software. Current EHR is Simple Practice.

Generous unpaid time off policy allowing increased flexibility and control.

Assistance in getting credentialed with this group practice.
