Associate Opportunities

Grow with Behold Counseling

At Behold Counseling, we believe healing happens through emotionally safe relationships. Our work is rooted in attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), with an emphasis on slowing down, deepening emotional experience, and helping clients create lasting change.

We are passionate about developing thoughtful clinicians who want more than simply completing their licensure hours. We hope to cultivate therapists who are committed to clinical excellence, lifelong learning, and building meaningful careers in private practice.

Our Clinical Philosophy

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) serves as a primary framework within our practice. We value therapy that is emotionally attuned, experiential, and rooted in the belief that meaningful change happens through connection, safety, and secure relationships.

We seek therapists who are comfortable slowing down, remaining emotionally present, and trusting the therapeutic process. Rather than focusing solely on symptom reduction, we strive to help clients experience deeper transformation that extends beyond the therapy room.

Qualifications & Expectations

Applicants should:

  • Hold a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, Clinical Counseling, Clinical Psychology, Social Work, or a related mental health field.

  • Be currently registered with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (AMFT, APCC, or ASW) and in good standing.

  • Be open to supervision, ongoing feedback, and continual professional development.

  • Provide two professional references, one of which must be from your previous clinical supervisor

  • Be legally able to work as a W-2 employee per California BBS supervision guidelines

Our associates are expected to:

  • Approach supervision with openness, curiosity, humility, and a willingness to receive thoughtful feedback.

  • Demonstrate professionalism, reliability, strong interpersonal skills, and sound clinical judgment.

  • Maintain a reflective clinical practice by regularly considering their own therapeutic process and areas for growth.

  • Be dependable, prepared, and committed to providing high-quality, emotionally attuned care.

  • Each associate should be willing to present one 10-15 minute video recording of a counseling session per year during your associateship to support clinical growth


A Desire to Learn Emotionally Focused Therapy

Previous training in Emotionally Focused Therapy is not required.

However, we are looking for clinicians who are genuinely interested in developing an attachment-based, experiential approach to therapy and who desire to pursue formal EFT training as part of their professional growth. Associates should be willing to complete an EFT Externship and/or EFIT training as they continue developing their clinical identity.

We believe investing in high-quality training ultimately allows us to provide deeper and more effective care for the clients we serve.

Building a Sustainable Private Practice

At Behold Counseling, we believe that becoming an excellent clinician also includes learning how to build a sustainable private practice.

Associates are encouraged and supported in developing their own referral networks and professional presence. We believe learning to cultivate a thriving private practice is an important part of becoming an independent clinician.

Building a successful caseload is a shared investment. While Behold Counseling provides support through referrals, mentorship, marketing guidance, and practice resources, associates are expected to actively participate in growing their own professional presence and cultivating referral relationships within the community.

We value clinicians who are motivated to invest in both their clinical development and the long-term success of their practice.

What You'll Receive

As part of our team, you'll receive:

  • Weekly individual/group clinical supervision

  • Mentorship in Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment-based practice

  • Guidance in developing both strong clinical skills and a sustainable private practice

  • Administrative support with billing, credentialing, and practice operations

  • A collaborative environment that values curiosity, professionalism, humility, and continued growth

 

We'd Love to Meet You

If you're passionate about becoming an emotionally attuned therapist, excited to continue growing through supervision and training, and hope to build a fulfilling career in private practice, we'd love to learn more about you.

We welcome clinicians who are committed to serving clients with excellence, approaching their work with humility, and continually investing in both their professional and personal growth.

If that sounds like you, we invite you to apply and tell us what draws you to this work.
