Are you looking for meaningful clinical work, room to grow, and a practice that values your well-being?

Women’s Counseling NC is a woman-owned, trauma-informed group practice dedicated to supporting women through life’s challenges, hormonal shifts, and major transitions. We’re a heart-led practice grounded in meaningful care, genuine connection, and respect for both our clients and clinicians. We’re seeking a compassionate, motivated therapist who shares these values and wants to develop their specialties within a collaborative, supportive team.

We currently have offices in Charlotte and Wilmington and are exploring expansion into Cary area and/or the Asheville area . We welcome applicants in these regions who are interested in a hybrid role. For expansion locations, office location and start timing will depend on our plans and will be discussed during the interview process.

About Our Practice

We provide individual therapy for women navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, motherhood, grief, identity development, and hormonal mental health concerns.

We prioritize work-life balance, a healthy work environment, and a shared passion for meaningful care. Our clinicians enjoy independence in their work alongside administrative support, clinical leadership, and opportunities for team connection.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re especially interested in therapists with specialized training, experience, or a sincere interest in developing expertise in one or more of the following:

• IFS, EMDR, or similar approaches that support deeper processing of trauma and emotional patterns
• Infertility, pregnancy loss, and infant loss
• Perimenopause and menopause
• PMDD and cycle-related mood concerns
• Perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and birth trauma

Additional interests that may stand out include ADHD in women, OCD, and a holistic approach to mental health that considers the connections among emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, and life circumstances.

You do not need expertise in every area. We value thoughtful clinicians who bring existing strengths and a genuine commitment to learning.
