We Are Hiring Associate Clinicians (AMFT, ACSW, APCC)
For Clinicians Who Want a Meaningful Career and a Future in Private Practice
Location: Folsom, CA (In-office only. Our office plants thrive on human interaction.)
Are you a Registered Associate who cares deeply about growth, purpose, and building a thriving private practice after independent licensure? Are you looking for a place where your clinical development, professional autonomy, and long-term success are genuinely supported?
If so, The R.E.A.L. Institute may be exactly where you are meant to be.
At The Relationship Elevation and Learning Institute (The R.E.A.L. Institute), our mission is simple and powerful:
- Develop exceptional clinicians.
- Teach you how to successfully build and sustain your own private practice.
We are unique in that our goal is not to keep you employed indefinitely. If you are serious about your professional future, we want to be the last place you ever need to work for someone else. From your very first day, you begin building a caseload that has the potential to become your independent practice once you are licensed and credentialed.
If you want a job, you can find one anywhere.
If you want a purposeful career, a clear path to private practice, and a team that is invested in your long-term success, you will find it here.
Who We Are
We are a boutique behavioral health practice committed to helping people move from chaos to clarity in their relationships, their emotional well-being, and their lives. We believe in deep clinical work, genuine connection, and creating space for transformational moments of growth.
We are also committed to providing accessible and affordable mental health care to our community, ensuring that high-quality therapy is within reach for those who need it most.
Our work is heart-driven. Our standards are high. Our culture is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that clinicians deserve fulfilling and financially secure careers without burnout.

If you want an environment that simply fills your schedule, this may not be the right fit.
If you want a place that pours into your growth and your future, we would love to meet you.
