Location:
7500 212th SW Edmonds , WA 98026
Position/Job Description:
Acorn Therapy, PLLC, is hiring a compassion-focused and trauma-trained clinician. We're excited to find a new colleague who is invested in building greater access to high-quality care for adult clients with PTSD, C-PTSD, and other trauma and stressor-related experiences. This is an ideal role for a clinician wanting to work in private practice without dealing with the administrative load of running a business. Maybe that's you!
This position can be remote or hybrid remote/in-person. Remote therapists are encouraged to apply as we do receive out-of-county client inquiries.

- EHR and HIPAA-compliant phone, fax, email, and telehealth platform
- In-house professional development and training
