Prism Therapy
Remote – California
Compensation: $50 per clinical hour

Grow Your Clinical Identity in a Relationship-Centered Practice
At Prism Therapy, we believe becoming a great therapist is a lifelong process of learning, reflection, and curiosity.
We're looking for associate therapists who are excited to deepen their clinical thinking—not simply accumulate licensure hours. We value clinicians who ask thoughtful questions, seek feedback, remain open to new perspectives, and view supervision as an essential part of becoming the therapist they aspire to be.
Our practice is grounded in psychodynamic, interpersonal, relational, attachment-based, and humanistic approaches. We believe meaningful therapeutic change occurs through authentic human connection, thoughtful case conceptualization, and an ongoing commitment to personal and professional growth.
If you're looking for a place where you'll receive support, mentorship, and opportunities to expand your clinical skills while building a fulfilling private practice caseload, we'd love to hear from you.
Our Values
At Prism Therapy, we believe exceptional therapists are:
Lifelong learners who remain curious about themselves, their clients, and the therapeutic process.
Committed to thoughtful, ethical, and culturally responsive clinical work.
Open to feedback and intentional about integrating supervision into their professional development.
Invested in building authentic therapeutic relationships.
Humble enough to continue learning throughout their careers.
Dedicated to creating affirming spaces where clients of all identities feel understood, respected, and empowered.
Position Overview
This position begins with a minimum commitment of 10 client hours per week, with opportunities to increase your caseload over time as referrals grow and clinical readiness develops. We are looking for clinicians who are interested in building a sustainable private practice caseload and growing alongside the practice.
Because supervision is an integral part of the associate experience, candidates must also commit to participating in all required supervision in accordance with California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) requirements. This includes scheduled individual (triadic) supervision as well as group supervision when required, based on weekly clinical hours and applicable licensure regulations.

Participate actively in individual supervision, consultation, and ongoing professional development.
Integrate supervisory feedback into clinical practice and demonstrate continued professional growth.
Maintain ethical and professional standards in accordance with BBS regulations.
Collaborate with colleagues in maintaining a supportive, respectful, and affirming clinical culture.
Who We're Looking For
The ideal candidate:
Has a strong interest in psychodynamic, interpersonal, relational, attachment-based, and/or humanistic psychotherapy.

What Supervision Looks Like at Prism Therapy
