Brave Acorn
Who we are: We here at Brave Acorn help people in the greater Portland area align body, mind, emotions, and intersectional identities in their daily lives. We nurture strong roots for personal growth and welcome people of all sizes, races, religions, gender identities, and sexual orientations. We are trauma-trained, take a Health at Every Size approach to food and weight issues, and encourage people to work with their body and emotions as allies (rather than enemies) on their journey towards growth and healing.
Working with us: We are looking for someone who is in love with our mission, is willing to get trauma-trained (such as EMDR) at their own expense within 6 months of hire, and is interested in learning how to work from a Health at Every Size lens (which we can provide training for at no cost to you). Bonus points if you are experienced in (and want to continue) working with people who have eating disorders. We are looking for licensed therapists (LPCs, LCSWs, PhDs, and PsyDs). We also hope to begin hiring associates later this summer as soon as our COA is approved by the Oregon Health Authority. Jayotta Feimoefiafi, LCSW will provide clinical supervision for associates working towards LPC and LCSW. We also provide weekly case consultation for licensed clinicians who are interested.
We are currently offering a hybrid work option (mix of telehealth and in person). Our office for in-person sessions is located on the east side of Portland (the corner of SE Division and 25th Ave).
