“Helping others is the best way to help yourself”

~ John Segel in Shrinking

Being a trauma therapist can be lonely and exhausting…especially if you do this work alone. It also requires that you do your own work.

This is why we believe the best way to grow as a trauma therapist is in a community with other therapists. At Hope For The Journey, we value our team and the support we can give each other.

Hope For The Journey is actively building an inclusive & dynamic community of helping professionals dedicated to ending the pain of trauma, particularly sexual trauma. We work with kids, adults, and their loved ones of those impacted by trauma, especially sexual abuse and/or assault.

Pay & Benefits

Let's Cut To The Chase.. What's The Money Situation?

Okay, so you may be able to earn more if you go out on your own, but maybe not! We are definitely one of the highest paying group practices around. We pay our counselors a very fair rate, and in exchange, offer a ton of support, training, and flexibility. We basically take care of all the business, administrative, social and marketing details that can easily lead to a new private practice going under or to major burnout.

💰 Pay

$54 – $100/hour rate, depending on experience and qualifications.

🩺 Benefits

Medical & dental benefits, PTO, and soon-to-be 401K eligibility for full-time clinicians (billing 20+ session/week).

🧠 EMDR & supervision

Free EMDR certification consultation. We help you stretch and grow clinically with weekly supervision in complex trauma & dissociation treatment modalities.

🌱 Onboarding & caseload

We have a structured training and onboarding process that sets you up for success in your first 90 days. We work to help you identify your ideal clients and then fill your caseload with them. It’s up to you to retain them, of course (& we can help you learn how to do that, too!)

🗓️ Schedule & coordination

We give you almost 100% control over your schedule and the ability to work both in-person and remote. Our dedicated Care Coordinator helps schedule ideal clients on your caseload, bring in referrals, and build team connection.

🤝 Support

We are there when you feel overwhelmed, need to staff a case, or just want to have a social break. We care about you & we are committed to helping you succeed–not because we have to, but because you matter to us.

We are committed to anti-racism and inclusion, which we actively work on through training, consultation, and team-building activities.

Of course, if you’re looking for a job where you can coast and do the bare minimum for top dollar, please don’t apply here. You will be let down.

Business Structure

Hope For The Journey is a nonprofit.

But we’re not your typically nonprofit where the employees are overworked and underpaid. We are a nonprofit so that we can provide a proper living wage for our clinicians.

The majority of our clients are full fee self pay clients. However, we also are able to fundraise and apply for grants in order to supplement our clinicians’ pay for sliding scale clients.

Happy clients that can access great care at affordable rates.
Happy clinicians that actually take care of themselves and avoid burnout.

Our Values

We're a Company That Believes In Being Uniquely Us

We are a special group that won’t be a good fit for everyone. That’s fine with us! We want people to know who we are and what we stand for. That way, joining our team feels like a, “Hell yes! THIS is where I belong.”

Drama-Free

We believe in celebrating differences and approaching situations from a grounded, intentional.

Non-Judgmental

We pride ourselves on working with people from all walks of life. We also know that hurt people don’t always make good decisions or look “socially acceptable”. We want clinicians who look for the diamond in the rough.

Team Player

Our vision is to inspire growth and change in our clients and our community, but that starts with our team. The work we do is heartfelt, important, and very often HARD. We need to support each other and build each other up.

Growth Mindset with Values In Mind

There are some parts of the job you might not like. For example, we will ask you to complete notes within 24 hours. Being a part of Hope For The Journey means you understand the why.

Life Changing Outcomes

We have high expectations. We want clinicians who get all geeked about the awesome advanced training they attended and can’t wait to share about it at the next supervision group.

Are You Ready To Up Your Counseling Game?

There’s nothing wrong with wanting it all. You became a therapist because you wanted to really help people to heal. You’ve invested time, energy, and money. You deserve to work for a company that rewards grit, encourages creativity, and values you.

Reasons You Will NOT Like Hope For The Journey

💭We are thoughtful. You might not like some of our policies, but they are created purposefully–all centered around our desire to inspire hope and growth in our clients and community.

👂We listen. If you don’t like something, we want to know. Candid feedback helps us to do things better.

🎯You want to focus on clinical issues, so we streamline and support you in everything else, from getting clients in the door to administrative support.

⚙️Our systems and policies are developed with you in mind. We are constantly working to do things better, more efficiently, and more effectively so you can focus your time on what really matters.

📅Our Client Care Coordinator is phenomenal and allows you to focus your time on client treatment. Our billing process is simple & because we’re self pay, your pay will allow you to average a smaller caseload than at insurance-based practices in order to meet your income goals.

🌿Your self-care and growth are one of our highest priorities. We want you to be on fire to do your job, and we recognize the ongoing threat of burnout and secondary trauma. So, we will celebrate you taking good care of you!
