Eating Disorder Therapist

Eating Disorder Therapist

Location: Bend, Oregon | Hybrid (In-Person and Telehealth)

Position Overview

Transform Youth and Family Counseling is seeking a passionate, inclusive, and skilled therapist specializing in Health at Every Size (HAES®)-informed, weight-neutral care to join our growing team in Bend, Oregon.

This position provides outpatient individual, family, and group counseling to youth and young adults ages 6–24, as well as their caregivers and families, navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image distress.

This is a hybrid position based at our Bend, Oregon office, combining in-person services with telehealth services for clients throughout Southern Oregon.

A key responsibility of this role is providing compassionate, anti-diet outpatient eating disorder treatment while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary care teams, including HAES-aligned registered dietitians, primary care physicians, and medical specialists.

Licensed clinicians receive supervision from a Clinical Supervisor. Pre-licensed candidates receive clinical supervision tailored toward licensure and specialized eating disorder care. While previous experience with eating disorders and weight-neutral care is strongly preferred, we are committed to providing specialized training and clinical mentorship to the right candidate who demonstrates a strong passion for this field.

This is a non-exempt, full-time position compensated through a fee-for-service model, with an hourly rate provided for administrative responsibilities. The position is also eligible for benefits offered by the practice.

About Transform Youth and Family Counseling

Our mission is to serve youth, parents, and their families by providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for mental health treatment and wellness.

Our vision is a community in which individuals and families feel valued, understood, and empowered. We believe that providing mental health services and support at the individual, caregiver, and community levels can ultimately transform lives.

Our Values

Transform Youth and Family Counseling is guided by values that shape who we are as a team and how we serve our communities. We seek team members who actively demonstrate these values.

Empowering Client Voice

We believe that all clients, from youth to parents and caregivers, deserve to have their voices heard. Our approaches empower clients to develop treatment goals, advocate for their needs, and collaborate with their support systems to identify what works best for them.

Accessible, High-Quality Mental Health Services

We accept and bill several insurance plans to help make services affordable. Our therapists offer flexible appointment times to improve access to care for individuals and families.

Community Engagement

We recognize that mental health challenges do not occur in isolation. Successful treatment often involves supporting the entire family system, equipping caregivers, and fostering communities that prioritize mental health awareness. We actively engage with our communities through education, presentations, stigma reduction, and collaboration with other providers.

Respect and Equity for All

We are an LGBTQIA inclusive, social justice-oriented, and body-liberation-centered practice. We believe in treating individuals with dignity and respect across all body sizes, shapes, identities, and backgrounds. We welcome clients to be their authentic selves in an environment free from judgment and weight stigma.
