Job Description Summary

The Full-Time Clinician provides high-quality outpatient psychotherapy using evidence-based interventions such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Brain spotting, and other trauma-focused modalities.

Clinicians maintain a weekly caseload of 25+ clients and uphold high standards for documentation, care coordination, and professional collaboration. Supervision is provided for pre-licensed staff. All therapists work within Ignite's structured policies and clinical systems to ensure sustainability and excellence in care.

Ignite Counseling Colorado specializes in OCD, trauma, and addictions. Clinicians must be willing to participate in in-house training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and to apply ERP and other evidence-based approaches as primary treatment methods for OCD and related anxiety conditions.

Excellent trauma-informed care at Ignite includes using validated assessment tools (such as the PCL-5) to inform PTSD diagnosis and treatment planning and delivering trauma-focused interventions that support meaningful symptom reduction and healing. Clinicians are expected to assess trauma symptoms with validated tools and provide healing-focused care using evidence-based treatments such as EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Brain spotting, or equivalent modalities.
