Centering Therapists
At Khesed, we call ourselves a “therapist-centered” organization.
While our mission is to make mental health therapy affordable for the underinsured, Khesed exists for the thriving of mental health therapists.
Since the therapeutic alliance is the single greatest predictor of positive client outcomes, we know that the wellbeing of the therapist is essential to providing quality care. However, two out of three mental health therapists demonstrate symptoms of professional burnout, a number that has increased during the pandemic.
With this in mind, we create a work environment that invites therapists to thrive.
How We Support Therapists:
Double the clinical supervision in both individual and group settings
Clinical, business, and cultural trainings
Double the median rate pay
Emergency on-call services
Social events
Space to engage creativity and new ideas
We’re Hiring
We are looking for therapists to join us on our mission to provide high-quality, affordable mental health services for the underinsured in the spirit of khesed, a Hebrew word that means loving kindness, especially for people on the margins.
If you’re interested in bringing our mission to life in an environment where you can thrive, review our open positions or submit an application.
From Our Therapists
“All of my adult life, I have longed to work alongside a community of people that embody respect and tolerance and celebration of difference. I have longed to work in an environment where individuality is embraced in such a way that the unique gifts of each member add up to some greater whole and that the process of co-creating the mission is trusted and valued over the bottom line. I have found that here at Khesed. Being part of this unique group inspires me to grow and change and contribute in ways I didn't know possible. My priority has always been on relationships and in so many other environments that was seen as a deficit, at Khesed it is the whole point.”
-Shannon Iris, Therapist & Apprenticeship Program Lead
“Working at Khesed is comparable to a private practice with guidance. Its oddly extremely comfortable and supportive. The people I’ve met here have welcomed new ideas from new perspectives.
Working at Khesed makes me feel stoked. I mean, I thought work was work. But Khesed provided me with a sense of identity and unity I missed as a therapist. Proud to say I’m Khesed through and through.
Khesed reminds me of the uncle you always wanted to hang out with.
Khesed allows its team members to be originals. Everything is unique at Khesed. From client care, to warm staff, to restoration emphasis.
Khesed has inspired me to allow client growth without feeling data driven on outcomes. It’s heart and soul plus a little Khesed. Staff can excel here in a healthy fashion.
I’m growing at Khesed because I’m supported at Khesed. That’s an amazing place to be occupationally.”
-Joshua G., Prior Therapist & Supervisor
