Full-Time Couples Therapist
Join a growing, private-pay integrative practice where couples come to us from across San Diego and across the country, and where your work goes deeper than the 50-minute hour.
Couples are finding us. We need you.
Our couples intensives and weekly couples work are growing faster than one clinician can carry. Couples now travel in from other states for our signature intensive. We are looking for a skilled, warm, steady couples therapist who wants to grow with us and become a lead clinician in our intensive program.
What you'll be doing
Weekly Couples Therapy
Carry a full caseload of couples (and some individuals and families) in our Mission Valley office, using evidence-based couples methods.
Couples Intensives
Be personally trained by our founder to lead 2, 3, and 4-day in-person intensives using the ROOTED Method, our proprietary approach.
Whole-Person Care
Work in a practice that looks at the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, not talk therapy alone. You'll notice patterns and collaborate on care.
Trained the New Birth way

Who we're looking for & what we offer

- Steady presence and stamina for full-day intensive work
- Availability for in-person intensive days, which typically run Friday through Sunday, with some held midweek
- Openness to whole-person care, and to faith when a client invites it (you do not need to share any particular faith)

We offer
- $65 to $75 per clinical hour (W-2), based on license and experience

- A real growth path, with performance reviews at 30 days, 90 days, and one year

"Our couples don't come to us for another set of tips. They come because they want their love back. I'm looking for someone who believes that's possible."Dr. Regina Ransom, Founder
