IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU...
We want you on our team. Here is a bit more about us...
West Coast Anxiety’s objective is to provide high quality & effective evidence-based treatment for clients with anxiety and anxiety-spectrum disorders, and to foster a client-focused and clinician-centric culture within our company.
Goals
Deliver effective behaviorally-oriented evidence-based practices for individuals suffering with anxiety and anxiety-spectrum disorders.
To this end, we deliver behaviorally-oriented process-based therapies: These may include (but aren't limited to) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Habit Reversal Training, Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions.
Foster and cultivate a community of clinicians and clients who are open-minded and accepting toward a diversity of experiences, compassionate in the face of suffering, driven toward delivering the highest standards of care, and committed to living lives that align with the practices they teach clients.
Provide high-quality behaviorally-oriented training to Ph.D.- and Masters-level students, and high-quality low-cost treatment to those they serve (Please note, the Internship Program launches in 3-5 years).
Values
West Coast Anxiety (WCA) values acceptance, flexibility, compassion, learning and curiosity.
Statement
West Coast Anxiety (WCA) is an outpatient mental health group practice that serves the residents of California, Oregon, Washington. Our providers are located in the major cities along the Western Coast of the United States, and have trained in process-based therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Habit Reversal Training (HRT), and Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs). In order to maintain the highest level of care, WCA has strategic partnerships with Praxis and the Behavioral Therapy Training Institute (an exposure and response prevention training program offered through the International Obsessive Compulsive DIsorder Foundation, or IOCDF), both of which offer high quality evidence-based treatment trainings; WCA monitors and measures clinic outcomes using both symptom and process-based scales; WCA hires only those doctoral and masters level clinicians who are trained in process-based therapies and have a minimum of a 200 level BTTI training; additionally, WCA only hires clinicians who are willing to participate regularly in consultation to promote their own professional development and client-centered care.
Clinic Openings
All services will be provided via Telehealth unless and until there is sufficient demand for in-person services. WCA doesn’t anticipate offering any in-person services for the first 5 years of operation, unless it is arranged directly between the clinician and the client. In this event, it will most likely be to provide on-site ERP; given the cost associated for a provider to travel to a client’s home and the flexibility of Telehealth, Telehealth will remain the primary vehicle service delivery.
COMPENSATION
The annual earnings for a clinician seeing 14 - 20 clients/week for 44 weeks/year is $84,700 - $121,000.
In addition to these earnings, we provide a comprehensive benefits package.
