Make a Difference. Practice with Expertise. Transform Trauma Care.
At Serene Woods Psychotherapy, we specialize in trauma-informed care. Our clients often have complex experiences, and we rely on experienced clinicians who can navigate both the nuances of trauma and the challenges of the healthcare system.
We are looking for seasoned professionals who not only provide exceptional care but also understand how to make the system work better for the people we serve. This is a space where your expertise, insight, and clinical judgment are valued — and where you can help shape the future of trauma-focused mental healthcare.
Working with trauma requires more than training — it requires:
The ability to recognize and respond to complex clinical presentations
Experience in navigating healthcare and social systems to advocate for clients
Skills in supporting clients safely through challenging emotions and histories
Confidence to adapt evidence-based approaches to each client’s unique needs
At Serene Woods Psychotherapy, we rely on your experience to provide the highest standard of care and to help guide less-experienced colleagues.
Why Experience Matter
We are guided by principles that experienced clinicians understand and appreciate:
Client-centered care – Adapting therapy rather than forcing a rigid model.
Evidence-based practice – Applying research-informed techniques thoughtfully and flexibly.
Trauma-informed approach – Prioritizing safety, choice, and empowerment.
Cultural humility & inclusion – Respecting diverse identities and lived experiences.
Advocacy & system improvement – Identifying barriers and helping clients navigate them.
Sustainable practice – Supporting therapist wellbeing while delivering high-quality care.

We are seeking experienced, licensed mental health professionals who:
Have a strong background in trauma-focused therapy
Can provide client-centered care with flexibility and insight
Understand systemic barriers and can help clients navigate or overcome them
