Doing meaningful work takes good people.
At the moment, our clinical community is happily full. It's a pretty wonderful problem to have.
But we've learned that the right people don't always arrive at the same time as the right opening.
So if you're reading this and thinking, “Yes, finally, these are my people," we'd genuinely love to hear from you.
Submit an application below and we'll keep you in mind for future opportunities.
Whenever a role opens up, this is the very first place we look.
Are you ready for somewhere different?
Maybe you're looking for a place where you can love your work, bring your full self, and know that being beautifully, imperfectly human is part of the job.
Maybe you've given everything you have to community mental health and you're craving a pace that's more sustainable.
Maybe private practice has felt a little too solo, and you're missing the support of a team.
Maybe you're looking for a beautiful, light-filled office where you can do meaningful work alongside people who genuinely care about one another.
If you're nodding along, you're in good company.
At Kindman & Co., we know you're a human being first. So are we.
Caring for clinicians is part of caring for clients, and we value your wellbeing not just as a therapist, but as a real, whole person.
What matters to us
Authenticity • Humanity • Support • Sustainability • Meaningful Connection • Community • Collaboration

What we're looking for

Kindman & Co. Psychotherapist
job description
Here's what this role requires
These are the core qualifications and expectations for this position. They're important because they help us create the kind of care, collaboration, and community we're committed to building together.
A commitment to justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion through ongoing learning, self-reflection, inclusive practice, and actively working to recognize and reduce bias.
Active associate registration or licensure with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS).
A desire to learn and experientially practice from a relational approach, including an enthusiasm to bring your own humanity, curiosity, and vulnerability into the work.
Experience working with, or a strong interest in working with, adults, couples, relationships, and partnerships.
Enthusiasm for facilitating at least one therapy group as part of your weekly caseload.
The ability to maintain an average caseload of 21+ direct client hours each week across four to five working days for full-time clinicians.
A genuine commitment to contributing to our practice community and building meaningful relationships with teammates.
A willingness to spend at least two hours each month contributing to community education and marketing through blog writing, podcast conversations, social media, or other outreach efforts.
Availability every Thursday at noon for our weekly team meeting.
Availability to see clients during some early mornings and/or later evenings, with daytime availability on Saturdays.
An important note about working at Kindman & Co.
At this time, all of our positions are in person. We've found that sharing a physical space creates the kind of connection, collaboration, mentorship, and spontaneous support that are central to the culture we're building.
We'd also love to see
These are qualities and experiences we’re especially excited to see, as they align closely with the kind of work and community we’re building here.
An anti-oppressive therapeutic framework.
Three or more years of experience working with marginalized communities and an understanding of the traumatic impacts of systemic oppression.
Training or experience working with LGBTQIA2S+ communities, polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous relationships, BDSM, kink, and other expansive relationship structures.
Training and experience in Relational Gestalt therapy and PACT therapy with couples and relationships.
A desire to build a long-term home within a group practice, rather than viewing the role as a stepping stone to solo private practice.
What we're building
We're creating the kind of practice we always hoped existed.
One where therapists feel supported, challenged, and deeply connected to one another. One where our humanity isn't something we hide from, but something we thoughtfully bring into the room.
Here's what that looks like:
We're a diverse group of therapists led by spouses Paul and Kaitlin Kindman.
We lead with feminist, anti-oppressive, and inclusive values, and we're committed to continually learning, growing, and putting those values into practice with one another and with our clients.
We intentionally cultivate a connected community that challenges the isolation so many therapists experience in private practice.
We value transparency, vulnerability, and authentic relationships, both in our clinical work and in how we show up with each other.
We practice Relational Gestalt and PACT therapy because we've seen the transformative power of relational work.
We believe healing happens through the whole person, which is why embodiment and somatic approaches are woven throughout our work.
We know therapy is only one part of cultivating wellbeing, and we encourage clients and clinicians alike to build lives rich with community, creativity, rest, movement, and support.
We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Laughter, playfulness, and genuine joy are essential here, too.
One thing worth knowing...
Many people are drawn to our practice because they value authenticity, vulnerability, and relational work. So do we. But we've learned that living these values is often more challenging, and more rewarding, than simply believing in them.
Growth here isn't just something we hope for our clients. It's something we ask of ourselves, too. We believe becoming a great relational therapist means continually examining ourselves with curiosity, humility, and compassion. That means honest conversations, thoughtful feedback, and a willingness to keep growing together.
You might recognize yourself in this list...
You believe relationships are one of the most powerful catalysts for healing.
You value community and are looking for a practice where you can put down roots rather than simply passing through.
You're comfortable bringing authenticity, humility, and thoughtful vulnerability into your work with clients.
You're passionate about social justice and understand that people can't be separated from the systems and contexts they live within.
You naturally think about both mind and body when understanding clients and supporting change.
You approach clients with curiosity rather than judgment, and you hold complexity with compassion.
You enjoy working independently while also genuinely valuing collaboration, consultation, and being part of a team.
You're organized, dependable, and take ownership of your work.
You know that relational work asks something of the therapist, too. You're willing to practice vulnerability with colleagues, receive honest feedback with curiosity, and let yourself be changed by the process, even when it's uncomfortable.
You're a kind, thoughtful human who enjoys laughing, connecting, and are excited to join with us to make work feel a little more human.
Compensation, benefits, & anticipated hours
We believe in being transparent, so here's what you can expect.
All new clinicians begin in a part-time role while building their caseload. Once your average caseload reaches 21+ direct clinical hours per week, you'll transition to full-time status.
We'll do everything we can to help you build a thriving practice by investing in marketing, referrals, and community outreach. That said, because client demand naturally varies, we can't predict exactly how long it will take for each clinician to reach full-time hours.
Compensation
Clinicians are compensated at different hourly rates depending on the type of work performed.
During the three-month introductory period:
Licensed Psychotherapists: $70/hour for direct clinical work
Associate Psychotherapists: $50/hour for direct clinical work
Following the introductory period, clinical rates increase once it's determined that the position is a strong mutual fit.
Benefits
Depending on your employment status, benefits may include:
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
401(k)
Paid sick leave, vacation, and civic engagement time
Annual professional growth and wellbeing reimbursement
Complimentary in-house trainings
Monthly team gatherings and leisure activities
