Drishti Bend is hiring a therapist/counselor! Bring your skills to our team and be a part of a group of providers working to provide skilled, evidence-based, and compassionate care to our community. Drishti Bend is committed to a workplace in which all employees feel included, respected, and valued. We encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds.

We are a mental health therapy office providing evidence-based, trauma-informed care in a boutique, private-practice setting. We thrive because of our shared values of humor, compassion, teamwork, and the desire to make a difference in the greater-good. We work together as teammates, colleagues, and friends to support each other in and outside of the work environment. We care about our community.

One of the things that makes us unique is our group culture. Doing good work means taking care of ourselves and work is intended to fit into each of our best lives, instead of taking over our lives! We care about our clients, we care about each other, and we care about our own well-being and the culture of our practice. If you come to Drishti, whether as an employee or a client, you will find a warm, welcoming atmosphere where the message of positive change and respect for others prevails. If you are looking to do good work, to work with others in a collaborative approach, but to have autonomy with your schedule, caseload, and work-life balance, this may be a good fit for you.

This is an exciting role for an individual seeking to build or expand upon a niche and someone who is independent, hard-working and wanting to enjoy the benefits of working in a private practice setting with the perks of being part of a team. If you have grit, excellent attention to detail, and enjoy working with others and collaborating with a team, you may be a great fit for this job. This clinician will have the option to build their caseload within their specialty/niche area while accepting other referrals from the practice to build a caseload faster.
