Mft/pc Residents

At The Center for Connection, Healing and Change, we are proud of our systemic identity and the services we provide. We are looking to recruit up to two residents (Marriage and Family Therapists or Professional Counselors) for the next cohort of our Systemic Residency Program.

**Who we are**

Welcome to The Center for Connection, Healing, and Change, LLC. Created as a soulful, creative, and collaborative space for like-minded professionals to thrive in their work we believe our staff is our greatest asset. Being a therapist is a calling, not just a job, and we know that the best way to serve our clients is to take good care of our therapists.

We believe in the power of secure connection and align with models that focus on attachment, family systems, trauma, emotion regulation, and somatic psychotherapy. We interweave evidence-based models and neuroscience with the timeless wisdom of the body to offer truly holistic care to our clients.

We are actively recruiting Residents in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling who deeply resonate with our treatment philosophy, both personally and professionally. We warmly invite connection with those souls who are a good fit for our culture and who are looking for a place that will value and support the investment you have already made in your clinical skills, identity, and personal growth.

Our practice welcomes your humanity, strengths, and vulnerabilities. We trust that by focusing on the co-creation of security and safety we offer the optimal conditions for growth, potential, creativity, and connection.

We believe that in order to connect with the struggles of our clients we must also be in connection with our own human vulnerabilities, wounds, protections, and survival strategies. We must be willing to connect, heal, and grow from the inside out so that we can appreciate the daunting journey of growth and healing our clients are willing to grapple with.

We offer creative and collaborative plans of care to our clients, grounded in our shared understanding of the power of relationships. We frquently work with infants, children, teens, adults, couples, and parents in the same family system to create rapid and lasting change. Finding your systemic community is a satisfying and supportive place to be

We are proud of the unique culture we have created and our commitment to practicing secure connection. We are very much human, we make mistakes, and strive for authenticity and vulnerability over perfection or performance. If you feel like you are a 'work in progress' - welcome, we are too Our goal is to find similar souls who are looking for a community that will value and support your unique skills, personhood, and potential. We choose to be transparent about our mission and culture in the hope that you might want to join us in the journey.

**The Systemic Residency Program**

It is our experience that the journey towards licensure is an ongoing process of personal and professional growth. We believe that this process of intentional personal growth, combined with the development of a systemic lens on the world, creates a very special type of therapist.

Once you leave a graduate training experience it can be hard to find your tribe. We know that finding a quality residency site can be tough so we created a place where ongoing growth and development is celebrated, normalized, and nurtured. Our program is thoughtfully designed to support residents to be ready for licensure through the cultivation of clinical identity, high-quality training and supervision, the creation of space for all the ways your lived experiences have shaped you, and support to reach your potential.

**Who we are looking for**

We are currently looking to recruit four new residents for the 2023 cohort of our dedicated Systemic Residency Program.
