Associate or Clinical Therapist (Virtual, Hybrid preferred).
Associate / Clinical Therapists Associate Therapists serve an important role on our hybrid team by providing trauma-informed and culturally-responsive mental wellness support to underserved populations across the lifespan (ages 13+) primarily through individual counseling and group based supportive services.
GDC Wellness Services (previously Goal Driven Counseling) is one of the first Black-owned, 100% virtual, multi-state, private group counseling practices in the U.S. Our mission is to empower our clients in the pursuit of their mental wellness goals while reducing barriers to care in underrepresented communities through community-based collaborative care. Associate / Clinical Therapists contribute to this mission by providing clinical and group services in partnership with community-based nonprofit organizations, universities, corporations, and schools representing GDC Wellness Services. We value collaboration and quality care through trauma-informed approaches, and the importance of wellness not only for our clients, but our team as well.
We pride ourselves on our diverse, supportive and committed team who are representative of the clients we serve. Although our team traditionally has been 100% virtual across the country, our company culture is one that is inclusive, affirming, and empowering no matter the distance. This position remains 100% virtual with the expectation of providing solely remote individual services; however based on the evolution in our business model there are opportunities for some in-person group based facilitation at community-based partner sites if able and desired. Due to this, applicants in our headquarter location of St. Louis, Missouri may be prioritized; however we will remain open to the best fit. Through a supportive team approach, we are committed to the development of clinical professionals in a modern and forward thinking approach.
