At Balanced Awakening, we do things differently. We are a boutique, psychologist-led psychotherapy practice with a heart-centered, growth-oriented culture where clinicians are supported in doing deep, meaningful work — without burnout.

We are entering an exciting phase of expansion and are seeking a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PsyD or PhD) who is passionate about meaningful clinical work, values alignment and sustainability, and desires a well-supported, abundant practice environment.

We are especially excited to connect with licensed psychologists who are well-established in their clinical work and are seeking a more supported, values-aligned environment for the next phase of their practice.

This role is particularly well-suited for psychologists who value autonomy, strong infrastructure, opportunities for leadership, and long-term sustainability in their practice.

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS ROLE

A Purposeful, Sustainable Caseload

Enjoy a consistent and fulfilling caseload of 25+ psychotherapy clients per week, supported by a highly organized administrative team, allowing you to focus on clinical work rather than operational logistics.

Abundance Is Our Mindset

As part of onboarding, you’ll receive a Mindvalley Membership and complete the Rapid Transformational Hypnotherapy for Abundance Quest, supporting both personal and professional expansion from the start.

Specialty-Focused, Depth-Oriented Practice

Align your clinical work with our core focus areas, including somatic therapy, trauma recovery, maternal mental health, art therapy, positive psychology, and relationship therapy, while continuing to develop your own areas of expertise.

Couples Work (Optional)

If you’re drawn to couples therapy, we support training in Imago Relationship Therapy — no prior experience required, just curiosity and interest.

Leadership & Supervision Opportunities (Optional)

For psychologists interested in teaching, mentorship, or leadership, there are opportunities to provide individual and group supervision to doctoral practicum students and postdoctoral fellows, contributing to the development of the next generation of clinicians.

A Supportive, Values-Aligned Culture

Be part of a connected, collaborative team that values joy, authenticity, clinical excellence, and aligned growth.

Thought Leadership (Optional)

Psychologists who enjoy sharing their voice may contribute through writing, media, and educational content, building visibility, credibility, and impact beyond the therapy room.
