Careers at The OCD Relief Clinic
At The OCD Relief Clinic, we are intentionally building a workplace that values ethical care, clinical excellence, sustainability, and humanity for both clients and clinicians.
We are a women and queer-owned specialty mental health practice focused on evidence-based treatment for OCD and related disorders. Our team is small by design. We prioritize depth over volume, structure over chaos, and support over burnout.
While we may not always have open positions, we welcome interest from clinicians and childcare professionals who feel aligned with our mission and approach.
Our Team Philosophy
We believe:
Specialized care requires specialized training
Clinicians deserve support, consultation, and clear expectations
Burnout is not a badge of honor
Structure and compassion can coexist
Access to care includes supporting families, not just individuals
We are thoughtful about growth and add roles intentionally as the clinic expands.
Why We’re Different as an Employer
At The OCD Relief Clinic, we are intentional about how we practice and how we build a team. We don’t aim to be the biggest clinic, we aim to be a sustainable one.
Here’s what sets us apart:
We Practice True Specialty Care
OCD treatment is not generalized therapy with a new label. Our clinicians are trained to use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and other evidence-based approaches with fidelity and care. We believe clients deserve more than reassurance or unstructured talk therapy and clinicians deserve training that actually works.
We Support Ongoing Clinical Growth
We expect curiosity and humility, not perfection.
Clinicians at our clinic are supported through:
Ongoing training and consultation
A collaborative team culture
Space to ask questions and deepen skills
Leadership that values feedback and ethical decision-making
You don’t have to “already know everything” to belong here.
We Value Sustainability Over Burnout
We intentionally avoid:
Productivity-at-all-costs models
High-volume, low-acuity caseloads
Pressure to overextend or “push through”
Instead, we prioritize:
Thoughtful scheduling
Reasonable caseloads
Time for consultation and learning
Work-life balance that’s actually respected
Burnout is not a rite of passage here.
We Believe Access to Care Includes Supporting Families
Our on-site childcare program exists because we understand that therapy, and providing therapy, often requires practical support. We are intentional about removing barriers for both clients and staff whenever possible.
We Are Values-Driven, Not Volume-Driven
We care deeply about:
Ethical treatment
Clear expectations
Follow-through and accountability
Respect for clinicians as professionals and humans
We are selective in who joins our team because culture matters and we protect it carefully.
Clinical Team Roles: Mental Health Therapists
Our therapists specialize in treating OCD and related disorders using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and other evidence-based interventions.
What This Role Typically Involves
Providing individual and group therapy for OCD and anxiety-related conditions
Using ERP as a primary intervention, supported by CBT and skills-based approaches
Working with children (ages 5+), adolescents, and adults
Developing structured, individualized treatment plans
Tracking progress and outcomes
Collaborating with a supportive clinical team
Participating in training, consultation, and continued learning
ERP experience is helpful, but not required to join our clinical team.
We value curiosity, humility, and a willingness to learn evidence-based care.
Who Thrives in This Role
This role is a good fit for clinicians who:
Value structure and clarity in treatment
Want to specialize in OCD and anxiety disorders
Appreciate consultation and feedback
Care about doing therapy ethically and intentionally
Want a sustainable caseload rather than high-volume burnout
This Role Is Likely Not a Good Fit If
You prefer primarily unstructured or supportive talk therapy
You are not interested in using ERP as a core intervention
You prefer minimal consultation or independent practice without feedback
You are seeking exclusively remote or high-volume work
We believe naming this upfront creates healthier professional relationships.
Support Team Roles: Childcare Providers
Access to mental health care often depends on practical support. That’s why we offer on-site childcare for both clinic staff and clients receiving services.
Our childcare program is:
Calm and relational
Low-volume and intentionally designed
Focused on safety, regulation, and emotional attunement
Integrated into a mental health setting (not a traditional daycare)
What This Role Typically Involves
Providing attentive, developmentally appropriate care for infants and young children
Supporting a calm, nurturing environment
Engaging children in age-appropriate play and routines
Following clinic policies related to safety, hygiene, confidentiality, and professionalism
Communicating respectfully with caregivers and clinic staff
Adapting flexibly to changing needs and schedules
Childcare roles at our clinic require comfort working within a mental health environment and maintaining appropriate boundaries and confidentiality.
Who Thrives in This Role
This role is a great fit for someone who:
Enjoys meaningful, relational childcare
Is calm, reliable, and emotionally attuned
Values flexibility and low-hour schedules
Appreciates being part of a mission-driven healthcare setting
Understands that needs may vary week to week
Our Commitment to Inclusion
We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and strive to create a workplace where people of all backgrounds and identities feel welcomed, respected, and supported.
