Depth-Oriented Psychotherapist

Houston, TX

The Center for Healing Arts & Sciences

The Center for Healing Arts & Sciences is seeking a depth-oriented psychotherapist to join our integrative clinical team in Houston, TX.

We are a collaborative, mind-body-spirit healing center offering psychotherapy, acupuncture, art therapy, yoga therapy, sound healing, spiritual guidance, and holistic wellness services. We are looking for a clinician who understands therapy as a process of transformation, not symptom management alone, and who can hold the full complexity of what that means: psyche, soma, relationship, and spirit.

About the Role

You will carry an individual caseload and build a practice through internal referrals from an established clinician, cross-referrals from our integrative team, and new client intake. The clients who come to this center are already oriented toward deep work. Many have been in therapy before. They are looking for a clinician who can meet them where surface-level approaches cannot.

The depth-oriented psychotherapist will:

Provide individual psychotherapy grounded in a depth psychological framework

Work with unconscious material as it emerges: in dreams, in the body, in relational patterns, in symbolic language

Hold space for the full range of what clients bring, including grief, life transitions, existential questioning, trauma, spiritual experience, and the developmental crises of midlife

Maintain ethical documentation and licensing standards

Collaborate with our broader integrative team, including acupuncturists, yoga therapists, art therapists, and holistic practitioners, when clinically appropriate

This role may include work with:

Adults navigating major life transitions and identity transformation

Individuals in existential or spiritual exploration

Clients integrating trauma through psychodynamic, somatic, or relational approaches

People seeking long-term depth work oriented toward individuation and meaning-making

Clients processing psychedelic, contemplative, or retreat experiences

What We Mean by Depth

We use this word deliberately.

We are looking for a clinician whose work is informed by the psychodynamic and depth psychological traditions broadly. Someone who understands that symptoms carry meaning. That the unconscious communicates through the body, through dreams, through repetition, through the therapeutic relationship itself. That what a client presents in the first session is rarely the whole story, and that the willingness to stay with what is not yet known is central to the work.

Jungian analysis, archetypal psychology, and dream work may be part of your training and practice. They are welcome here. But they are not the whole of what we mean by depth. We are equally interested in clinicians who bring:

Psychodynamic or relational and intersubjective approaches

Somatic awareness and body-centered modalities (Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Hakomi, or equivalent)

Trauma-informed practice that goes beyond protocol, rooted in an understanding of how trauma lives in the nervous system and in relationship

Existential, phenomenological, or transpersonal frameworks

Comfort working with spiritual and religious material without pathologizing it

Experience with integration work: post-psychedelic, post-retreat, spiritual emergence

You do not need all of these. But the list should feel like home, not a stretch.

Qualifications

Licensed in the state of Texas (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or licensed psychologist). Jungian analysts with IAAP certification or equivalent are also welcome.

Minimum 5 years of post-licensure clinical experience

Demonstrated training or sustained practice in one or more depth-oriented modalities

Active, ongoing commitment to your own personal development: your own therapy, supervision, contemplative practice, or inner work

Comfort working within an integrative setting alongside non-psychotherapy modalities

Capacity to build toward a full caseload of 20-25 clients per week

Who Thrives Here

Our center attracts clients seeking more than coping strategies. They are looking for:

Meaning beyond crisis

Integration of what has been split off, denied, or unmetabolized

Spiritual depth without dogma

A therapeutic relationship that is psychologically rigorous and alive

Clinicians who thrive here tend to be:

Personally engaged in their own ongoing inner work

Comfortable holding ambiguity, paradox, and not-knowing

Rooted in psychological theory and open to the body's intelligence

Interested in interdisciplinary dialogue across modalities

Drawn to a practice environment where the soul is not an afterthought

Why Practice at The Center

The Center for Healing Arts & Sciences is a respected integrative wellness center serving the greater Houston community. We offer:

A built-in referral stream from an established clinician transitioning caseload

A client base already oriented toward depth and integration

Cross-referrals from our full integrative team

Beautiful, thoughtfully designed clinical space

Administrative and marketing support

Opportunities to teach, facilitate groups, or collaborate across disciplines

This is an opportunity to practice within a center that treats psyche, so center for healing arts and sciences isma, and spirit as inseparable.
