Clinical Opportunity for Group Therapy – LMFT, LCSW, LPCC or similar licensure (required) 
Location: Palos Verdes Estates, California 
Position Type:  In-Person, 1099 Contractor opportunity 

Make an Impact. Build Your Clinical Career. Join a Mission That Matters. 

At Throttle & Thrive, we’re proud to serve those who’ve served us—First Responders and Veterans navigating the path of recovery and resilience. We're offering a rare and rewarding opportunity for a passionate, licensed therapist (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC or similar) to step into a highly supportive, structured environment where your clinical skills make a real difference. 

Your Role at a Glance: 

Facilitate weekly in-person group therapy session for up to 6 clients

Create a safe, structured environment for clients to explore trauma, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop insight 

Use a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach to guide group discussions and therapeutic interactions 

Complete all documentation onsite using Kipu EMR, ensuring timely, accurate, and clinically sound records 

Work in a supportive and collaborative team environment where your contributions are valued and your growth is prioritized 

Gain meaningful hands-on experience working with a unique and resilient population, helping clients navigate recovery with dignity and purpose 

Why This Opportunity Stands Out: 

This is more than just a job—it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to develop your clinical skills while working with a courageous and committed population. You'll be part of a supportive, high-engagement team that values integrity, professionalism, and collaboration. The work is meaningful, and growth opportunity is real. 

Paid via monthly invoice. 

What You Bring to the Table: 

You’re not just looking for hours—you’re looking to make a difference. You know how to hold therapeutic space while being relatable, grounded, and professional. 

We’re looking for someone who: 

Is actively registered as an LMFT, LCSW, or LPCC in good standing with the California BBS 

Has a strong clinical foundation, especially in trauma recovery, addiction, and group therapy 

Feels confident and comfortable facilitating in-person groups with diverse client needs 

Maintains timely and thorough documentation aligned with ethical and clinical best practices 

Shows a genuine commitment to serving First Responders and Veterans with cultural humility and respect 

Embraces a team-first mindset, values collaboration, and thrives in a mission-driven environment 

Must also provide a valid (non-expired) CPR certificate, TB test results, and proof of liability insurance.
