Clinical Therapist

Position Overview:

CLinical Therapist · Full Time · W-2
Austin, Texas · In-Office and Telehealth

A Role Built for the Therapy Room

This is a purely clinical position. Your job is seeing clients — full stop. There are no required

marketing activities, content quotas, workshop obligations, or community-engagement

assignments. If you want to contribute beyond the therapy room — leading a workshop,

joining our podcast, writing for our membership community, The Continuum

— those opportunities exist, they're entirely optional, and every hour is paid at dedicated rates.

Saying no (always or sometimes) never affects your pay, benefits, bonus, or standing.

About Us

Colors of Austin Counseling is an inclusive, affirming, multidisciplinary therapy collective located in vibrant

Austin, Texas. Since our establishment in 2018, we have been dedicated to serving our community by offering

individual and group therapy services both online and in person, exclusively within the state of Texas.

At Colors of Austin Counseling, we place utmost importance on our core values of equity, courage, access, and

vulnerability. We firmly believe in supporting our clients throughout their healing journeys, while

acknowledging and addressing the inequities that exist in accessing mental health treatment.

As a highly respected therapy practice in Central Texas, we boast a team of ten highly skilled clinicians with

diverse licensures and backgrounds. Our clinicians possess an extensive range of training and certifications,

including specialties in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Play Therapy, Couples Therapy, the Trauma Conscious

Yoga Method™, Art Therapy, and more. By incorporating various therapeutic modalities, we ensure that we can

cater to the unique needs and preferences of each individual client.

Creating a safe and nurturing environment is at the heart of what we do. We strongly believe in co-creating a

space that fosters safety and vulnerability, allowing our clients to explore their emotions and experiences

openly. Our practice is deeply rooted in social justice and inclusivity. We actively engage with the community

to promote positive change and embrace individuals from all walks of life.

At Colors of Austin Counseling, we strive to break down the barriers that hinder access to mental health

support. Our mission is to provide exceptional clinical services to everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual

orientation, ability, or socioeconomic status. We understand that quality care should be accessible to all, and

we are committed to creating a welcoming and affirming environment for everyone who seeks our services.

We believe healing happens in relationship — and we've built a practice where clinicians can do deep,

meaningful clinical work with the administrative, marketing, and operational load carried by a

dedicated support team.
