Welcome!
My name is Jessica Irving and I’m the Owner and Clinical Director for Coast Therapy Associates.
If you are an associate therapist looking for a place to deepen your training and gain hours toward licensure, an experienced clinician looking to be part of a small, thriving practice, or a member of our community just hoping to learn more about what we offer, I’m glad you’re here.
After more than 10 years in private practice, I built Coast Therapy Associates to create more access to thoughtful, quality mental health services for folks in our community and to create a professional and heart-full space for a small group of dedicated, compassionate therapists.
Here’s a link to my private practice site, if you’d like to learn more about my approach and background: http://jessicairving.com
Read on below, if you’d like to learn more about becoming part of our team.
Join our Team
At Coast Therapy Associates, our focus is cultivating a warm, professional, nurturing space for support, collaboration, and growth - for our clients and our clinical team.
Our home is a serene, thoughtfully designed two-story office suite with counseling offices, a spacious waiting area, and a large studio for therapeutic art (see photos below). Each therapist can enjoy ample space to shape their therapy practice and enjoy camaraderie and connection with colleagues.
We are currently accepting applications for associate (or associate track) therapists (AMFT, APCC, ACSW) and licensed therapists (LMFT, LPCC, LCSW). Ideal applicants will have all the requisite training and experience for their level of licensure, strong academic and/or professional references, and a combination of qualities that reflect the spirit of our practice: kind, thoughtful, and accepting; genuine, grounded, and self-aware; and able to be truly present with others.
