Postdoc Registered Psychological Associate (EMDR)

Trauma Healing Therapy (THT) is looking for a full time wonderful psychological associate to join our growing, fully remote group therapy practice!

The post doc\-psychological associate will provide supervised psychotherapy services to clients of Trauma Healing Therapy (THT). Clinical therapy services include treatment of adults (18\+) at this time. We are currently looking for a FT psychological associate (PhD, PsyD)who is ready to be a part of a dynamic, kind, growing and collaborative team. This position is in person (Cupertino, California).

THT is a therapy group practice in California. At THT, we have the mission to help clients and the community heal from trauma and relationship wounds using two simple ingredients: evidenced\-based clinical techniques AND an empathic, warm, humanistic approach to psychotherapy.

Trauma Healing Therapy firmly believes in the following values:

INNATE POTENTIAL: Each client has the innate potential to heal and achieve “post traumatic growth”.

THE CLIENT IS THE EXPERT: Each client is their best expert. Us therapists DO NOT know them better, but we are merely there to support them during their own journey, at their own pace, as a warm/empathic presence and support figure.

EMPATHY IS KEY IN THERAPY: At THT, we firmly believe that the most important skill a therapist can have is not the one acquired from a fancy training (we REALLY need that too for trauma work, BTW!), but the capacity to connect with the client, human to human, in an unconditionally caring, empathetic and supportive way.

TRAUMA NEEDS TREATMENT: Our clients' symptoms often stem from past traumas/relationship injuries. We believe that those symptoms are not to be blamed, as they allowed our clients to survive/cope the best they could. We believe that by treating the underlying trauma, our clients’ symptoms will disappear.

TRANSITION FROM SURVIVING TO LIVING LIVES: It’s our job, with our client’s permission, to guide clients in their journey from “surviving” to “living” their lives using evidence\-based, trauma healing techniques (i.e. EMDR/Flash, EFT etc).

CLINICAL EXCELLENCE \& GROWTH: At THT, we value continued clinical growth and education and foster it by clinical consultation/weekly staff meetings.

GIVING BACK: At THT, we value giving back to the community by regularly offering free education events, speaking engagements and workshops on trauma related topics.

DIVERSITY \& INCLUSION: At THT, we strive for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and continuously work toward making sure our team is and stays diverse, supportive and inclusive.

If you believe in these values as well, we would love to hear from you and receive your application!
