Are you a licensed clinician who enjoys mentoring others while maintaining a meaningful clinical caseload?

Aspen Therapy Collective is a unique private practice with a dual mission of serving the community, as well as developing an enhanced mental health workforce.

Company Background:

Our primary clientele are children and each therapy room is equipped for play therapy.

Aspen Therapy Collective has a unique focus on the development of early career therapists. Pre-licensed therapists work, on average, for two years with ATC before gaining independent licensure. During this time, employees receive individual and group supervision, play therapy training/supervision, and business guidance.

Vision Statement: We envision a community where all people can access the support they need and thrive in emotional well-being.

Mission Statement: Aspen Therapy Collective is committed to improving the psychological well-being of the community by providing meaningful and equitable mental health services to children, adolescents, adults and families.
