Clinical Therapist

Since 2009, The Dorm has been a mission-driven, client-centered mental health organization that has been bringing comprehensive, evidence-based treatment to young adults, ages 18-30. We are looking for a passionate licensed clinical therapist to join our multidisciplinary New York City team and contribute to our goal of making a difference. 

Our therapists offer one-on-one individual therapy, coaching, and group therapy to help clients explore recurring issues and life patterns that interfere with their ability to lead lives of independence, meaning, and purpose. Therapists at The Dorm are "generalists" comfortable working with young adults who have varied mental health issues at different levels of acuity.

 With us, you’ll be part of the next frontier in mental health care with an integrative treatment model and outcomes research approved by a third-party validated Institutional Review Board (IRB).  We blend individualized therapy and skills coaching, hands-on family work, group-based clinical support and a bustling community and social Clubhouse experience unseen elsewhere in our industry. With competitive salaries between $65,000 and $75,000 (based on background/experience) and a proud commitment to diversity in the workplace that affirms all races, genders and backgrounds, our strength is our community and we hope that includes you!
