Now hiring Group Practice Clinicians
About the group practice owner
Hello! I’m Rachel Chiu (she/her – a cishet, white, female ally), a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT SC license no. 6974) and licensed marriage and family therapist supervisor (LMFT-S SC license no. 8304) located in Greenville, SC. I am also a certified Emotionally Focused Couple, Individual, and Family therapist (EFCT, EFIT, and EFFT certified). I have just recently submitted my EFCT supervisor certification packet because I love the EFT model and community. I want to invest in other therapists’ professional development to build solid knowledge and skills to help clients heal and create lasting change in their corners of the world. This looks like coming alongside newly graduated MFT students to help them grow their abilities as they work on post-graduate licensure as well as seasoned therapists who want to learn about EFT. I could talk about EFT for HOURS, but I’ll spare you. For now, at least.
In my career, I have worked with couples and adults for the last 13+ years to help my clients be the fullest, most authentic versions of their self – for their personal benefit and for the good of their relationships. I am also a bilingual, Spanish-speaking therapist.
I am a therapist who loves – I mean *freakishly enjoys* spicy couples and clients. “Rachel, what on earth do you mean by ‘spicy’?” Great, so glad you asked. I mean bring it – your pain, your joy, your potty-mouth, your stuck places, your passion, your trauma(s), your celebrations, your anger, your sadness - all of it. I strive to create sessions where clients are free to be their self as they identify stuck patterns and places that block them from feeling the love and goodness that already exists in their bodies and around them as well as their ability to show up fully rooted in love and belonging in the relationships around them. In my office – we tell jokes but we are here to do hard things and send you on your way because my clients got what they needed.
We get sh*t done because life is beautiful, messy, and too precious to waste being a hollow version of who we are meant to be. And, as Mary Oliver once wrote, I want to help my people know and figure out “what you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.”
But, here’s the thing. I’ve reached a point where I’ve worked realllllly efffing hard to acquire a lot of knowledge, experiences, personal supervision, personal therapy (gotta take my own advice and walk the walk, after all), and skills and I want to find therapists who are looking to learn and be really solid therapists, too.
Who I’m looking to bring on to my practice
I’m hiring and creating a group practice in Greenville, SC. I am looking for LMFT-As, other associate therapists/counselors, or even fully licensed clinicians who are thinking, “I don’t just want to talk with clients about the problem of the week or changing their thinking or sell them on the power of ‘I-you’ messages or date nights. I want to help them take deep dives into their worlds and uproot the messages or parts that just no longer serve them. Then, I want to help them create the sense of belonging to their self, connections to the world around them, and I want these clients to be so sure of who they are and their innate worthiness, that their healing changes them and their relationships.” Yeah, I know. No big deal. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy kinds of goals. But seriously. Y’all, we’re in it to do a lot of good and I don’t want you walking alone or going into sessions without the skills you need to do amazing work with your clients.
The ideal candidates for my group practice are professionals who –
1. Recognize we are all innately good, worthy of love and belonging AND who long for a place where you can be both yourself in my practice, your identities are valued, and you can be a great therapist.
2. Desire to create a safe container for client work that is safe for diverse identities of the clients we serve.
3. Committed to affirming and anti-racist values.
4. Are as diverse as the clients we serve – after all, there is a beautiful tapestry of client and therapist identities in the Upstate and there is a place for you in this group practice.
5. Are interested in growing EFT skills (re: experiential, attachment-based, systemic work) through on-going, regular supervision.
6. Are interested in becoming future therapist community leaders through become future supervisors – whether LMFT supervisor and/or EFT supervisors. Hello, future generation of therapist-leaders.
7. Committed to sticking in my practice for long-term growth. (I will help you build your case load as I get regular but frequent new client requests and referrals but recognize it takes time to build a “full” caseload; as such, you would benefit from having alternative sources of income during this phase through other forms of employment.)
8. Are (maybe) a bit snarky and dark-humored, like me, because life is WILD and if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.
9. Are (maybe) Spanish-speaking therapists as there is a MASSIVE need for bilingual couples therapists in SC and across the Upstate. I am a bilingual therapist and offer supervision in Spanish, also.
Here’s what I am offering the contract employees I hire –
1. Regular weekly supervision that can count towards LMFT-A post-graduate licensure hours, built into your work contract, at no extra cost to you.
2. Regular weekly supervision that can count towards EFCT therapist certification, built into your work contract, at no extra cost to you.
3. Discounts towards costs of EFT trainings – I will *literally* pay for you to attend training either in part or then some because your therapist development serves you and our community well. Good learning should never be a privilege for some or gate-kept but I want to help remove the barriers that exist to getting solid training.
4. Exposure to attachment, experiential, humanistic, and systemic therapy approaches that work well across a variety of client identities, goals, and/or presenting concerns.
5. Furnished office spaces with all amenities included – this means your start-up costs are covered! I provide the space, EHR, payment systems, administrative systems, etc. This is great for therapists looking to switch to a group private practice and/or are newer out of graduate school but aren’t quite ready or able to take on the costs of starting a personal business.
6. I want you to be successful – even if that means you don’t stay within the group practice with me forever. We all benefit from each other’s strengths and successes, so when you decide it’s time to go out on your own – I will be there, cheering for you, having helped you build the skill set you need to be a successful business owner. Seriously.
7. Competitive contractor pay rates, which increase each year you are with my group practice.
8. The chance to join a thriving private practice, already established in the Upstate community.
9. If you’re already fully licensed as a clinician, here’s what I aim to offer you –
a. Continued mentorship as an EFT therapist for therapist certification and/or supervisor-in-training (forthcoming) and/or therapist mentorship as a LMFT supervisor candidate (forthcoming).
b. Therapist development and collaboration, even through really complex cases.
c. Professional community – I’m deeply involved in our SC Upstate EFT non-profit as its president and one of the founding board members. I want you to feel a sense of belonging – there is a place for you to grow deeply here.
d. Professional support to launch a successful private practice through my own experiences, successes, and systems I have created over time. I want you to do well, even when you’re ready go on your own!
