Associate Therapist (AMFT / ASW / APCC) Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy | Sherman Oaks - Hybrid

Description There are workplaces that talk about excellence and true meaningful mental health care. And then there's Zeeva.

We are a woman and LCSW-owned mental health practice known for doing something rare: delivering premium, high-quality therapy while remaining deeply committed to accessibility, including working with Medi-Cal and Medicare.

We are a practice built on the core belief that excellence and humanity don't just coexist; they are essential together. That the warmest, most authentic and connected teams produce the most extraordinary clinical work. That when therapists feel truly seen, supported, cherished, and valued as whole human beings, we show up and love the work we do, together.

We believe supervision is sacred work and one of the most powerful investments we make in the future of mental health care. We cultivate genuine and real connection, the kind that shapes a clinician, changes a career, and ripples out into hundreds of lives. At Zeeva, our mission is to care for one another, bring light to the world, and advance trauma-informed, whole-person mental health: one life, one family, one community at a time.
