And we're not your typical practice right now. Open Space CCW is in the middle of a major transition. What you'll read below--about our culture, mission, and collaborative team--is still true. But we're rebuilding right now. Openly. Intentionally. Imperfectly. After years of rapid growth, a leadership-related lawsuit surfaced that reshaped things quickly--leading to burnout, misalignment, and eventually a full team departure. And we're stepping into this new chapter with more clarity, intention, and transparency than ever before. We're proud of the values you'll read about in this posting. They're not just aspirational--they're what we're actively rebuilding toward. If you want to better understand where we've been, where we're headed, and why this might be the most meaningful time to join our team, we encourage you to visit our Careers page: www.openspaceccw.com/careers ABOUT OPEN SPACE CCW Is private practice calling your name, but the idea of handling the logistics all alone feels heavy? Have you outgrown agency life, but aren't sure solo practice is the answer? Does the thought of marketing, admin, and billing make the whole thing feel less appealing? Are you craving support, but not micromanagement? Are you searching for something that feels grounded, intentional, and honest? We've built a different kind of practice. And now, we're rebuilding it even stronger. At Open Space Counseling, Consulting & Wellness (Open Space CCW), our mission is to eliminate fear of judgment as a barrier to personal growth and wellness. Open Space CCW was founded in 2018 with a vision of creating a safe, inclusive, and progressive space where people can move from merely surviving to truly thriving--for both our employees and our clients. We have created a safe space for affirming, equity-rooted mental health care that never asks anyone to shrink or mask to belong. Our priority is to create a workplace that feels connected, grounded, and human--where autonomy and self-care are part of how we operate, not just how we talk. Open Space CCW is a therapy practice deeply rooted in LGBTQIA+ affirmation, relationship diversity, and racial equity. Join our team!
