Mental Health Therapist

About Rivercourse Counseling

We're a warm, depth\-oriented mental health practice based in Salt Lake City, serving kids, teens, and adults in\-person and via telehealth throughout Utah. We specialize in working with neurodivergent clients, people with ADHD, autism, anxiety.

Our clinical approach is rooted in both depth psychology and evidence\-based practice, we don't think these are in tension. We believe healing happens when people connect with what's underneath the surface, and we use the best tools science has to offer to help them get there. We integrate somatic therapy, dream interpretation, Jungian\-informed work, ERP, CBT, nervous system regulation, and geek therapy into individualized care that actually fits the person sitting across from us.

Therapist wellbeing isn't an afterthought here, it's baked into how we operate. We keep caseloads sustainable, we talk about burnout openly, and we build a culture where the humans doing this work feel as cared for as the clients they serve.

The Therapist Launchpad: For New \& Early\-Career Therapists

If you're a new graduate or associate\-level clinician, we built the Launchpad with you in mind. Starting out in this field is hard , you're expected to carry a caseload before you feel fully ready, navigate licensure logistics, and figure out your clinical identity all at once. We want to make that easier.

The Launchpad includes:

• Structured individual supervision with a licensed supervisor experienced in neurodivergent and depth\-oriented work
• Group supervision and peer consultation
• A graduated caseload ramp\-up so you're not thrown into the deep end on day one
• Ongoing training in our core clinical modalities: somatic therapy, depth psychology, ADHD/neurodivergent\-affirming care, and geek therapy
• Dedicated training pathway in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety and OCD, including support accessing formal ERP training and consultation
• Support through the licensure process
• Regular check\-ins focused on your clinical growth, not just productivity metrics
• A culture where asking questions and saying "I don't know" is always welcome

We're not looking for someone who has it all figured out. We're looking for someone who is curious, compassionate, and committed to growing.

The Role

We're looking for a full\-time therapist, licensed or associate\-level, to join our team and serve a caseload of neurodivergent and depth\-seeking clients. You'll have real clinical autonomy, genuine support, and the space to develop your own therapeutic voice within a practice that has a clear identity and strong values.

What You'll Do

• Provide individual therapy to children, teens, and/or adults with a primary focus on neurodivergent clients (ADHD, autism, anxiety, OCD, and related presentations)
• Conduct intake assessments and co\-create individualized, strengths\-based treatment plans
• Apply depth psychology principles alongside evidence\-based approaches including ERP, somatic work, and nervous system\-informed interventions
• Maintain timely and thoughtful clinical documentation in our therapy portal
• Participate in individual supervision, group consultation, and ongoing clinical training
• Contribute to a practice culture that is curious, warm, and genuinely human
• Carry a hybrid caseload of in\-person (Salt Lake City) and telehealth clients across Utah

Required Qualifications

• Master's degree or higher in counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, psychology, or related field
• Active Utah licensure or associate license
• Genuine respect and curiosity for neurodivergent ways of being, not just tolerance, but real appreciation
• Strong relational skills and the ability to build trust with clients who may have had hard experiences with other providers
• Comfort with electronic health records and telehealth platforms
• Ability to pass a background check

You'll Fit Right In If You...

• Are drawn to depth psychology, Jungian theory, dream work, or the idea that symptoms are often messengers worth listening to
• Get genuinely excited about working with ADHD, autism, OCD, and/or anxiety,
• Are interested in training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) : we strongly prefer a clinician who wants to develop expertise in ERP and evidence\-based OCD treatment (training support provided)
• Believe the body and nervous system are as important to healing as the mind
• Want to keep learning and aren't afraid to sit with the unknown
• Are personally committed to your own growth and self\-awareness (we all are here)

Our Commitment to Your Wellbeing

We take therapist wellbeing seriously, not as a talking point, but as a practice value. Here's what that looks like in real terms:

• Sustainable caseloads, we'd rather you do fewer sessions well than burn out trying to hit numbers
• Regular supervision and consultation built into your schedule, not squeezed in around it
• Open conversations about vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and the emotional weight of this work
• A team that actually checks in on each other
• Flexibility in scheduling so you can protect your own energy outside of work
• A culture where your clinical intuition and professional boundaries are respected
• We mean it when we say the people doing this work matter as much as the people receiving it
