Does this sound like you?
You know you have the potential to do big things, you’re excited to learn and grow, but you've just not found the opportunity. You don’t want to work at big agencies where you are just a cog in the machine. Maybe you get passed over because you "lack experience", but you know if someone would give you a shot you could exceed their expectations.

Are passionate about providing effective treatment to Complex Trauma clients
Want to discuss cases and work in a collaborative environment
Like having the support of a team
Feel comfortable working independently at times
