Working for Wellness Therapies

We are stronger. Together

Wellness Therapies strives to provide a safe, healing environment for our clients and a healthy, balanced workspace for our providers by working together to create a sense of community, and a shared vision of pathways for healing, well-being, and growth.

Where Therapists Thrive

We believe that all people should have access to our programs and, as such, accept most insurances including Medicaid and Medicare. We believe that therapists thrive in an environment where they are supported to learn and grow, where they have a sense of autonomy and choice over who they see and when they schedule, and where they feel well supported in making important clinical decisions.

Working with WTS

Wellness Therapies is located on the 16th floor of the historic Paulsen Center, downtown Spokane, Washington. We currently offer full and part-time employment in our offices. We also offer options for full and part-time Independent Contract work from the practitioner’s own office. 

We support our providers in identifying the clinical population(s) they wish to work with. Therapists are not asked to see clients they do not feel fit well for them.

  • WTS provides malpractice insurance covering all employees ~$300 annual value

  • Providers are paid hourly.

  • Providers are paid for hours worked, not just billed hours. This includes when there is a no-show or late cancel.

  • All therapists are paid for their administrate hours worked. We ask for a 70/30 ratio of billable to admin time in the first 5yrs as a therapist. We ask for a ~75/25 ratio for more experienced therapists. New therapists have 3-4 months to work towards this and we understand that there can be variables beyond their control that may affect this monthly, so this is reviewed using averages over several month’s time.

Supervision and Consultation

  • All therapists receive 1 paid hour of clinical group consultation per week

  • 1 hr per month staff are led in a self-care group exercise to include different guided meditations, QiGong, Yoga, collaging, social time, etc.

  • Associates are offered 1 paid hour of supervision per week.

  • EMDR trained therapists receive free EMDRIA certified consultation to work towards certification.

Who We Are

We are a community of therapists dedicated to helping clients find pathways of healing, growth, well-being, empowerment, and acceptance. Wellness Therapies strives to provide a safe and healing environment for our clients, and a healthy and balanced workspace for our providers. We work together to create a sense of community, and a shared vision of pathways for healing, well-being, and growth. Wellness Therapies stands in solidarity with the Black, and LGBTQ+ communities, our marginalized, vulnerable, and at-risk populations in the fight against racism and all forms of oppression. We believe that a person’s healthcare decisions should be between themselves and their medical providers. We believe that all individuals have the right to be accepted for their unique and authentic selves, which includes the right to make their own medical decisions.
