About North Carolina Therapy Professionals:
We are a therapist owned-and-operated multi-professional psychotherapy group practice administratively located in Durham, NC, but employing clinicians and serving clients throughout the State of North Carolina. Our mission is to provide top-notch psychotherapy services to any residents of North Carolina, and to provide a top-notch employment experience for NC-licensed psychotherapists residing in North Carolina. We exist to facilitate healing and growth for anyone making contact with our Company.
We serve and affirm persons of all identities and social locations with an emphasis on currently and historically marginalized groups (i.e. Black and African American identified persons, Persons of Color, Indigenous persons, LGBTQ+ identified persons, Veterans, Kink and/or Poly/CNM relationships, Undocumented Immigrants). We treat any problem deemed effectively treatable by psychotherapy. We provide psychotherapies demonstrated to be effective. We employ clinicians who are interested in becoming experts in serving adults of all ages, children and adolescents, groups, and/or couples and families. We aim to create healthy families and communities through the power of therapeutic relationships and applied therapeutic skills.
Psychotherapist Qualities:
We are continually interested in hiring multiculturally responsive North Carolina-licensed-and-based psychotherapists to deliver treatment protocols that are scientifically supported. A psychotherapist working with us is expected to assess patients’/clients' presenting problems, including any symptomologies, collaboratively devise treatment goals, objectives and interventions, and establish and maintain respectful and collaborative working relationships with patients/clients. Our psychotherapists should also prioritize holding an emotionally accessible, responsive and engaged relational stance with each patient/client (i.e. no neutral blank screens and no authoritarian “experts”), in support of each patient’s/client’s autonomy, competency, and relatedness needs.
To ensure success as a psychotherapist with us, you should embrace a client-centered posture of service, a humanistic philosophy of development and behavior, and a relational stance to healing. Additionally, we emphasize practitioner expertise through ongoing study, training, expert consultation and deliberate practice in approaches that capture the variety of art and science of effective psychotherapy. Ultimately, psychotherapists with us do best when they exhibit an interest in being helpful to clients by simply being with clients in the processing of their experiences of life even when these are not immediately or apparently the target of their interventions (i.e. “being with” rather than “doing to”). In other words, our therapists follow clients to meet them where they are, and then collaboratively lead them to where they want to be.
Even though we encourage our practitioners to have 1 or 2 preferred models of psychotherapy practice to gain expertise in, as a group practice we do not specify which approaches/models of psychotherapy our therapists utilize, nor are we a dogmatic church of certain therapy tribes. Rather, we want our clinicians to be focused on doing what works for each therapy (aka “client/patient-therapist working relationship” or the "working alliance)), and as such we emphasize client-directed, outcome-informed practice with the deliberate practice of scientifically supported therapeutic relationship skills and support for learning models of psychotherapy that inspire client-therapists dyads and have scientific support. We provide in-house support for study, training and deliberate practice of these therapeutic relationship skills, and financial support for therapists to seek outside study, training, and consultation from certified experts. Additionally, as our group develops critical masses of clinicians practicing specific models we encourage internal groupings for peer learning support and fellowship.
Models that clinicians can focus on include (but are not limited to):
Ultimately, we believe that in addition to ongoing training, study and consultation, our therapists do their best work when open to using and improving their therapeutic use of Self. To this end, we provide in-house supportive peer groups to develop and support our therapists’ use of Self in clinical encounters. Our clinical culture is one of inclusivity, accessibility, responsiveness, transformation and emergence, and rigor without shame or blame. With the Company’s support, we want our clinicians to feel and function as well as we hope our clients to feel and function as a result of their services.
