Full-Time Psychologist

As a growing group psychotherapy practice for women, couples, and teen girls, we are currently looking for psychotherapists to join our team and diversify & expand services for clients. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves seeing psychotherapy clients full-time and wants to deepen their capacities as a healer. Bring your curiosity for healing and transformation!

We are seeking candidates who are licensed or pre-licensed psychologists or who have an LCSW, LCPC, or LMFT license to practice in Illinois.

See if you resonate with any of our current plans for expansion

• We’re growing our couples therapy presence with Imago Relationship Therapy. We're gathering a group of therapists for our next in-house Imago training series.
• Somatic therapy of all kinds is popular! If you are someone who is interested in Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Therapy, Yoga Therapy, Brainspotting, and more, we’d like to bring more of these modalities to clients.
• We have supervision opportunities available, especially for Licensed Psychologists, to supervise our doctoral-level trainees and Postdocs.
• Art therapy is in demand. We are particularly interested right now in a fully certified art therapist who is interested in providing art therapy supervision to our clinical fellows.
• Therapy for moms is one of our specialties. If you are someone who has a Certification in Perinatal Mental Health or would like to pursue this, consider joining us.
• Bring us a new idea! We are happy to learn about how your clinical passion might benefit clients.

Currently, we prefer to hire full-time (25+ client hours/week) for hybrid positions that include 1-2 days of seeing clients in person at either our Lakeview, Andersonville, or Loop offices. We are also open to considering candidates for a fully remote position. The rest of the week, clients can be seen virtually from your home. If you prefer to be in the office for more days, we can also arrange that. At this time we also have a strong preference for those willing to work every other Saturday, although this isn't a must.

We are seeking clinicians who are excited to be a part of our broader mission for the longer term and want to match the investment that Balanced Awakening makes in our clinicians to provide top-notch therapy and healing services.
