Associate Mental Health Therapist (AMFT, APCC, ASW)
POSITION DETAILS
Associate Mental Health Therapist (AMFT, APCC, ASW)
- Part-time
- Hybrid: On-site/Telehealth
The Cave Clinical Services is dedicated to delivering high-quality education, mental health support, and treatment to communities in the Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside Counties) with a special focus on underserved areas. Our approach is based on empathy, scientific literature, and acceptance of all people and their challenges.
The Cave Clinical Services is seeking a skilled, culturally responsive, and compassionate Registered Associate Mental Health Professional to join the company part-time to provide therapeutic services, with the option to possibly co-lead a training or workshop in the community or at conferences.
This position is for someone proactive, ambitious, and experienced in understanding the differences between private practice and an agency setting. You will be referred clients; however, we encourage you to bring in your own clients through networking, advertising, word of mouth, and getting your name out into the community. Your bio and professional picture will be placed on the website at no cost to you.
You must be willing to work with people from various backgrounds. Please do not apply if you are looking to arrive at the practice and be handed a full caseload (it takes time). We need to supervise your clinical work as you build a proper caseload. Willingness to do outreach work and networking is strongly recommended. Other forms of advertisement, such as being featured on Latinxtherapy.com, will be paid by the company.
You will have a diverse caseload of clients, including those with insurance and those who pay in cash. This includes individuals, couples, and teens. Every therapist in the group practice is required to have at least one pro-bono case as part of our company values. If you have a specific population you’re interested in working with, we can discuss it further during the interview.
You must have your associate number before applying. Build your private practice while earning hours and receiving weekly supervision. You will see individuals, couples, and/or families, so you can collect all hours necessary to meet BBS requirements.
This position is for Hybrid work. Although you can have more telehealth appointments than in-person, if clinically appropriate. However, the group practice emphasizes in-person appointments.

- Be clear, concise, and timely in keeping progress notes up to date, completing CPS forms (if needed), and completing intake evaluations.
- You will receive a starting caseload of adult, child, couple, family, or adolescent clients, depending on your availability and desired hours.

- Therapists can schedule appointments on weekends or after 6 pm, if desired, unless otherwise specified in your contract.
- Document and record all your clinical hours and supervision.
Requirements
- Active ACSW, AMFT, or APCC registration number
