Job Description Job Description WELCOME TO THE CONNECTIVE! Are
you looking for a rewarding, values-driven career in the wellness
space? A collaborative workplace that also encourages professional
autonomy and work/life balance? Are you interested becoming a part
of growing company with a big heart? If so, please read on! The
Connective is a female-founded integrative mental health practice
with locations in San Francisco and Benicia. We offer
compassionate, comprehensive, and client-centered care for
children, adults, couples, and families, with a deep commitment to
whole-person wellness. We also believe that healing is rooted in
connection, and we are committed to cultivating meaningful
relationships— with our clients, our colleagues, and within our
community. ABOUT THE POSITION As a therapist at The Connective, you
will provide weekly outpatient therapy sessions to a dedicated
caseload of self-pay clients. While our practice serves individuals
of all ages, we are specifically seeking a clinician with a passion

adolescents, and families. Our ideal candidate is eager to practice
within a private/group practice model while actively engaging as a
member of a holistic, multidisciplinary team. This individual
values the opportunity to focus on delivering exceptional clinical
care rather than managing the isolation and administrative burdens
of independent practice. Please note that The Connective is not a
private practice incubator for therapists looking to eventually
establish their own independent practice. Our goal is to find
practitioners who are committed to becoming an integral part of our
wellness collective and growing with our team long-term. HOURS
