Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

Develop A Specialty in Couples Therapy

Integrative Couples Therapy in Encinitas is seeking an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who wants to intentionally build depth and confidence in couples therapy within a in person, part time role.

This position is designed for a mature associate who values depth over speed. You may be in a full season of life, balancing family or other meaningful responsibilities, and are looking for focused clinical work inside a supportive structure. You are not simply trying to collect hours. You want to become genuinely skilled and grounded in couples therapy.

Our practice is dedicated to couples work in a private pay setting. Couples therapy is complex and powerful. It requires leadership, emotional steadiness, and ongoing training. We provide a clear container for developing those skills over time.

The Role

You will:

• Work primarily with couples in a private pay setting
• Practice in person in our Encinitas office
• Develop a part time caseload with room to grow steadily
• Receive ongoing supervision and consultation
• Develop strong skills in attachment based and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
• Be part of a small, engaged clinical team

What We Provide

• W2 employment
• Private pay referrals
• Administrative and billing support
• Intake coordination and marketing support
• A serene beautiful, fully furnished office environment
• Electronic health record system
• A thoughtful culture that values clinical growth and sustainability

This Role Is a Good Fit If You:

• Already have some experience working with couples and want to deepen this focus
• Are emotionally mature and open to feedback
• Want to grow into real confidence and leadership in the room
• Prefer working in person rather than remotely
• Value work life balance and sustainable pacing

Requirements

• Active AMFT registration in California in good standing
• At least one year of clinical experience
• Some experience providing couples therapy
• Availability to work in our Encinitas office on Wednesdays and Thursdays to start

If you are drawn to building real depth in couples therapy within a grounded and supportive practice, please send your resume and cover letter to info@integrativecouplestherapy.com. Include details surrounding your experience and training in couples therapy.
