Clinic-based Therapist II

Who We are

At the time of our founding, Watercourse Counseling stretched traditional definitions of mental health service delivery. We were formed for the specific purpose of developing innovative programs that address the full continuum of mental health needs. Our overarching philosophy is grounded in equitable access to resources that support wellness for individuals and the community. We choose to center this work in Minneapolis with the full understanding that there is a lack of culturally-based mental health resources within the city, and we remain committed to making a difference in the lives of those who have been marginalized and underserved. We continue to be guided by these beliefs, even after 20+ years of service.

The Position

Watercourse Counseling is seeking a full-time clinician to work with individuals and families by providing psychotherapy services based primarily out of our South Minneapolis clinic. Strong candidates will be knowledgeable of multiple trauma-informed therapeutic modalities and have experience practicing from an intersectional lens and integrating culturally- affirming, equitable care into clinical work.
