Let's Work Together

The Center for Family Development (CFFD) is seeking a mental health counselor with a focus on working with children and families.

 

We welcome applications from both fully licensed clinicians (LMHC, LMFT, LICSW, or Psychologist) and associate-level counselors. Ideally, associate candidates will have at least one year of post-master's clinical experience. However, we are open to new associates who have relevant experience working with children in mental health settings.

 

The ideal candidate will work with children aged 3–11 and their families, with most of the caseload likely focused on children ages 6–11. Candidates should be familiar with multiple therapeutic approaches, such as play therapy, CBT for children, PCIT, family therapy, and attachment-informed modalities. Interest in leading or co-leading groups is a plus.

​

At CFFD, we value flexibility, autonomy, and creativity. Our team members are encouraged to pursue their interests and bring their ideas to life. We ensure clinicians are unencumbered by administrative burdens that affect their quality of care, and we prioritize supporting clinicians so you can focus on what you do best.
 

Start date: Flexible. Ideally mid-June through July, 2025.

 

We offer:

• Our full time status is based on 24 billable hours per week. 

• Associates (with one year of experience): start at $57 per billable hour (~$71k per year at 24 clients per week).

• Fully licensed clinicians: earn between $60-$67 per billable hour DOE (~$75-84k per year). 

• Weekly paid supervision for associates (in-house or external supervision).

• No show and late cancellation protection – you are paid even if a client no shows.

• Flexible scheduling – you set your hours (so take Fridays off).

• Paid onboarding and training.

• Work only with clients you’re comfortable treating.

• A steady stream of referrals.

• Robust administrative support (billing, credentialing, scheduling, and more). 

• Weekly clinical consultation groups.

• PTO, six federal holidays, and two personal holidays.

• 3% employer match IRA.

• Professional development opportunities and a $600 annual training stipend.

• Supervising, mentoring, and leadership opportunities.

• A welcoming, supportive team and comfortable office space.

​

You’re a great fit if you:

• Hold licensure in Washington state (PhD/PsyD, LICSW, LMFT, LMHC) or have an associates license with one year of post masters experience. New associates with previous work experience with children will also be considered.

• Are willing to maintain an average of 24 clients per week.

• Bring enthusiasm for teamwork and contributing to a positive, inclusive work culture.

• Are trained in at least one established child therapy modality (e.g., play therapy, PCIT).

• Practice from a social justice and anti-racist framework and are confident working with diverse populations.

• Are excited about ongoing learning and growth in your clinical work.

​

At CFFD, our mission is to provide exceptional counseling services grounded in compassion, respect, and client-centered care. We envision a world where people connect with what is important, where mental health is prioritized, and where everyone is empowered to lead a fulfilling life. We are a social justice oriented, anti-racist, veteran-affirming, and LGBTQIA+ affirming practice. We do not tolerate perspectives or practices that marginalize, exclude, convert, or harm others. If this resonates with your values, we’d love to hear from you.

To apply: Email your resume or CV to Aaron (adenham@cffdspokane.com). Please include details about your experience and training in child therapy. Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis until a candidate is hired.
