If you’re passionate about reducing conflict, strengthening communication, and walking with people through life’s most complex transitions, you’ll feel at home here.
Here’s How We Support You
At Sparrow Counseling, we don’t just talk about support — we build it into everything we do.
W2 Employment: Protection, Security, Peace of Mind
No surprise tax bills — we pay your payroll taxes.
More protection and structure, especially when working with high-conflict or court-involved families.
You’re part of a collaborative, thoughtful team, not working in isolation.
Private Pay Means Consistency and Freedom
No insurance red tape, reimbursement delays, or claim denials.
Our clients are motivated and invested, ready to do the work.
You get to focus on therapy, not paperwork.
Strong Admin Support = Less Stress
We handle scheduling, billing, marketing, and referrals.
No client texts on weekends. No chasing payments. No blurred boundaries.
Clinical Training and Supervision That Actually Helps
Ongoing support in models we believe in: the Developmental Model, EFT, Gottman, and more.
Free, paid supervision for MFT Associates (saving you $4,000–$6,000/year).
Training stipends that grow the longer you’re with us.
A Team Culture That Feels Good to Be Part Of
Open, honest communication is encouraged, not avoided.
Feedback and collaboration are part of our DNA.
We laugh together, support each other, and celebrate each other’s wins.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re hiring licensed therapists who:
Love working with couples and families
Can offer 10–25 clinical hours per week
Are motivated by meaningful work, not hustle culture
Want to be part of something bigger than themselves
Whether you're experienced or eager to grow — if you still believe in the power of healing relationships, even when the work is hard — we see you. And we’d be honored to talk with you.
Do the Work You Love — Without Running a Business
You don’t want to manage marketing, hiring, bookkeeping, or SEO. You just want to show up and do excellent clinical work with clients who are invested and ready for change. That’s exactly what we make possible.
Work Somewhere You Actually Enjoy
You want to spend your workdays doing what you do best — meaningful therapy with clients who are ready to grow. You’re looking for a practice that feels energizing, not isolating. A place where collaboration is real, your input is valued, and learning never stops.
You love being part of a dynamic, skilled team that also knows how to laugh and show up for one another. You welcome feedback. You stay curious. And you care deeply about doing excellent clinical work.
You’re also open to the unique challenges of working with family law professionals. You know that real change takes boundaries, advocacy, and a systems-minded approach — especially when court systems fall short.
A Safe, Supportive, and Collaborative Space
At Sparrow Counseling, we care for our team as much as we care for our clients. We’ve created a place for growth, laughter, accountability, and real support.
Here, you get to focus on what you love: being present with your clients and witnessing their transformation unfold.
You don’t have to do it all — you just have to be you.
