Careers

We are currently seeking a Child and Adolescent-focused
Clinician to join our clinic:

The schedule would include seeing clients a minimum of 2 days/week (or 14 sessions/week). However, a schedule of at least 3 days/week (~ 20 – 21 sessions/week) is preferred. From there, there is potential to grow into a 35+ client hour/week full-time practice at your own pace if desired or to continue with a 2-3 day per week schedule. Uplands offers in-person and telehealth sessions, and there is great flexibility to tailor your hybrid schedule.

Experience/training and a desire to work primarily with children and adolescents is required. At least 1 year of post-licensure experience is preferred, but we will consider QTT or -IT applicants/those requiring supervision hours towards a professional license for otherwise qualified and promising candidates.
