- Registration with the Board of Behavioral Sciences (AMFT, ACSW, APCC) or the Board of Psychology (psychological assistants).
- Ability to provide culturally informed, LGBTQA+ affirmative psychotherapy services.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
- Excellent written, oral, and public communication skills.
- Must maintain professional liability insurance.
- Self-motivated with the ability to market and advertise services to maintain an active caseload.

- Compensation per clinical hour, dependent on experience.
- W-2 employment status with competitive pay.
- Flexible schedule with hybrid options when feasible (office located in Northridge, CA).

- Upon licensure, the possibility to transition clients to your private practice if they choose to continue working with you.
Clinical Supervision & Consultation
While California has its own regulations, many states recognize the expertise and quality associated with supervision provided by an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. This highlights the importance of adhering to the specific standards and requirements set by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) to ensure high-quality systemic supervision.
Jose Guerra has undergone extensive educational, experiential, and supervisory training, which led to the prestigious designation of AAMFT Approved Supervisor. This advanced training equips him to support future clinicians in delivering comprehensive systemic treatment to clients.
Jose Guerra's supervision approach is rooted in a systemic orientation that considers the interconnectedness of individuals within their relational contexts, while upholding the highest professional and ethical standards. As a licensed clinical psychologist and marriage and family therapist, registered with both the Board of Psychology and the Board of Behavioral Sciences, Jose is qualified to provide clinical supervision and training. This supervision can count toward the accumulation of licensure hours for associate marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, professional clinical counselors, and psychological assistants.
