Clinical Director

“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” - Lilla Watson

Interconnections Healing Center (IHC) is a thriving social justice oriented mental health group practice in the Greenwood/Phinney neighborhood of Seattle, WA. We strive to provide culturally responsive services to our community, with an emphasis on our QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color) communities. The bulk of our work is focused on providing individual, couples/relationship, and group counseling to adults in the community.

Our group practice is also committed to the supervision, training and/or mentorship of all mental health clinicians, both internally and externally. What makes us unique from many other practices is that we are relational and process-oriented therapists who work from an intersectional and anti-oppression lens and deeply value being in community with each other. Leadership is collaborative and transparent about their decision making.

Everyone at IHC demonstrates a high level of respect for and genuine connection with each other; it is a deep value of our center that each staff member feels a sense of belonging and that they are valued as individuals.

We are currently seeking a Clinical Director who will play a key leadership and supervisory role in our organization. This applicant will hold a social justice, anti-oppression lens in their leadership, clinical, and supervisory work and possess a demonstrated commitment to the QTBIPOC community. The Clinical Director will be reporting to the Director, Dr. Agnes Kwong.
