Our Values in Action
We don't just talk about values—here's how we live them
Empowerment
We fund your EMDR training and year-long trauma academy. We create pathways for you to become a supervisor, trainer, or leader. We give you the tools, then trust you to use them.
Inclusion
We're actively anti-racist and LGBTQ+ affirming. Our team represents diverse backgrounds, approaches, and lived experiences. We create space for everyone to bring their full selves to work.
Courage
We tackle complex trauma cases—but never alone. Peer consultation, Trauma Specialists Training Institute, and clinical supervision mean you always have support when the work gets hard.
Humanness
Flexible schedules honor your life outside the office. We celebrate birthdays, share laughs, and create a culture where it's okay to not have all the answers. We're real people doing real work.
Excellence
Ongoing training, quality documentation standards, and a commitment to best practices. We're building something exceptional—and we want clinicians who care about doing great work.
Finding the Right Fit—Together
We're actively looking for clinicians who will thrive here long-term. And you're evaluating whether we're the right home for your career. This process is designed to help both of us get it right.
Here's the truth: We want clinicians who will stay with us for years and really dig deep. That means we invest time up front to find people who genuinely align with our values, our approach to trauma work, and our culture.
At the same time, we know you're vetting us. You should be. Use this process to ask hard questions, meet our team, and make sure this is a place where you can build the career you actually want.
Apply
Submit your resume and tell us why you're interested. We review all applications within two business days and reach out to candidates who seem like a strong fit based on experience, values alignment, and what you're looking for in your next role.
✓ We respond to everyone, even if it's not a match
Brief Video Interview
A 20-30 minute video conversation where we both get to ask questions. We want to learn about your clinical interests and what matters to you in a workplace. You get to learn about our expectations, culture, and whether this sounds like the kind of place you'd want to work.
✓ This is a two-way conversation - we want to get to know you and you to get to know us
Interview
Meet with our clinical leadership team to go deeper. We'll explore your clinical approach, what you need to thrive, and how you handle challenges. More importantly, this is your opportunity to meet the people you'd be working with, ask the questions that matter to you, and get a real feel for who we are.
✓ Virtual or in-person—ask anything. We want to help you decide if this is the right fit for you.
Decision Time
If we're both excited about the fit, we'll extend an offer with full transparency on compensation, benefits, expectations, and growth opportunities. Take the time you need to decide if this is right for you. We'd rather you be certain than rushed.
✓ We'll answer your questions before you commit
Welcome to the Team
Once you join, we set you up for long-term success. Structured onboarding, enrollment in our Foundations Academy, EMDR training (if needed), mentorship, peer consultation, and a ramped caseload schedule so you can build confidence and momentum.
✓ We're invested in your success from day one
⏱️ Total Timeline: 2-4 Weeks
We move thoughtfully but efficiently. When we find the right person, we don't drag our feet.
Questions You're Probably Wondering
We've answered the most common ones here. Still have questions? Email us.
What licenses do you accept?
We hire Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW-C), Licensed Professional Counselors (LCPC), Licensed Marriage & Family Therapists (LMFT), and Licensed Psychologists in Delaware. We also hire provisionally licensed clinicians (LMSW, LGPC) who need supervision hours.
Do I need to be EMDR-trained?
Nope! We provide complimentary EMDR Basic Training for all new clinicians who aren't already trained. If you're already EMDR-trained, we offer refreshers and ongoing EMDR Circle consultation.
Do you hire new graduates or provisionally licensed therapists?
Yes! We hire provisionally licensed clinicians and provide clinical supervision to help you earn your hours toward full licensure. You'll be supported every step of the way.
What's the expected caseload?
For full-time therapists, we typically expect 25 held sessions per week (about 100 sessions/month).
Are positions remote, hybrid, or in-office?
It depends on the role! Some positions are hybrid with routine on-site days (like our Site Team Lead role in Frederick). Others may offer more flexibility. We'll discuss scheduling options during your interview.
What insurance panels do you work with?
We're in-network with major insurance providers, and our billing team handles all credentialing, claims, and insurance coordination. You don't have to worry about the administrative side of insurance—we've got you covered.
Can I specialize in a particular area?
Absolutely. While we're a trauma-focused practice, many of our clinicians develop specializations—whether that's complex PTSD, eating disorders, OCD, couples work, or other areas. We support your growth in the directions you're passionate about.
What does "trauma-informed workplace" actually mean?
It means we train all staff in trauma, provide peer consultation and support, protect your time and boundaries, and approach challenges with curiosity instead of criticism. We practice what we preach about nervous system regulation, connection, and psychological safety.
What opportunities are there for advancement?
We promote from within! You can advance into clinical supervision, site leadership, training facilitation, or consultation roles. Many of our current leaders started as therapists here. We have a clear Clinician Career Path to help you see what's possible.
Our Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
At Trauma Specialists, we're on a mission to grow together with our clients, our team, and our practice while leading a movement of innovation in trauma treatment. We believe in empowerment, inclusion, humanness, courage, and excellence, and we welcome team members who share these values.
Our culture celebrates diversity in all its forms and we're committed to creating a workplace where every person feels valued, supported, and inspired to make a difference. We are actively anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming, and believe that our differences make us stronger as a team and as clinicians.
