Associate Clinical Therapist

Ready to make a real impact in the lives of teens?

At Evolve Treatment Centers, you’ll have the opportunity to bring your clinical skills to a team that genuinely cares—working in a supportive, collaborative environment where growth (yours and your clients’) is the priority.

Our Associate Therapist Training Program is designed for early-career clinicians who want hands-on experience working with adolescents navigating acute mental health challenges. You’ll gain exposure to both residential and outpatient settings while building confidence in your clinical voice and skillset. You will work on-site at our three residential locations at Walnut Creek, Lafayette, and Danville locations.

In this role, you’ll support both programs by completing biopsychosocial assessments, stepping into the role of Primary Therapist for assigned clients, and providing coverage as needed. As a Primary Therapist, you’ll lead DBT skills groups, facilitate individual and family therapy, and complete clinical documentation within required timelines.

We’re looking for someone who’s curious, motivated, and ready to learn—someone who can thrive in a fast-paced environment while staying grounded and client-centered. You’ll receive consistent clinical supervision, along with ongoing training and shadowing opportunities to support your growth.
