SUMMARY
IntraSpectrum Counseling is Chicago's leading psychotherapy practice dedicated to the LGBTQ+ community. We strive to provide the highest quality, sex-positive mental health care for multicultural, kink, polyamorous, and intersectional issues for our clients. We are committed to providing an affirming therapeutic environment for the LGBTQ+ community and beyond that supports the development of a strong professional relationship between clients and their therapists. We believe that the safety and strength clients draw from that solid therapeutic relationship allows them to feel more freedom to examine, embrace, and express their authentic selves.

The Therapist will provide individual, group, relational, and family therapy services to the LGBTQ+ community. The ideal candidate will have experience working with clients on multicultural, kink, polyamorous, and/or intersectional issues and should have a high level of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and demonstrated multicultural competence in working with all facets of the LGBTQ+ community. Individuals with interest, training, or experience working with individuals with significant trauma histories, including racialized trauma both in and out of the workplace, are highly sought. The ability to provide therapy in Spanish, Mandarin, or Cantonese is strongly preferred.

The Therapist will report to the Clinical Director and will build up to and maintain at least 22 direct clinical contact hours per week of individual, relational, and/or family counseling and 1 group therapy session per week. The Therapist is also expected to engage in weekly group clinical consultation, monthly meetings with our Clinical Director, monthly professional development meetings with the People Operations Manager, and engage in ongoing research, training, and mentorship necessary to specialize in queer-focused, multicultural therapy.
