We're happy to respond to your concerns and answer your questions. We want to make sure this is a good fit and that you'll feel comfortable working here. An anxious therapist will be less effective with their clients and more prone to burnout.
Will you be able to attend our weekly virtual team meeting on Thursdays from 1:00 - 2:00 pm?
Are you available to work consistent shifts every week, including some evening and/or weekend hours? Our clients come weekly. This isn't a position where you can work just one day a month.

What days and times are you available to see clients?

Why are you interested in working for Inland Empire Couples Counseling?
Describe your experience in working with electronic documentation. What do you love about it? What challenges have you faced?
Explain your preferred modality or approach with couples therapy. Why does this approach appeal to you or make sense to you and your clients? What successes have you had using that approach in couples work? And what are the weaknesses in this approach?

What unique client populations would you like to serve? (In other words, do you have a special place in your heart for a particular type of client or problem?)

Describe how you manage confidentiality with a client couple. What unique legal or ethical considerations do you consider when working with a client couple? How would you explain this to your clients?
Your client couple comes to session and tells you about an argument they had. One of the partners tells you that the other blocked them from leaving the room and threw and broke a glass. What would you do?
One member of a couple you have been seeing shows up alone to the session. They said they got into a fight with their partner and the partner is refusing to come. This person didn't want to be charged the no-show fee, so they came alone. What would you do? Explain your reasoning.
You have been seeing a couple for several sessions now. They have been making some good progress. They surprise you with some new information and the session goes completely sideways. They aren't responding to your efforts to redirect them. You are completely taken off guard by this new information. How do you think you would handle this situation in the session? What steps would you take after the session? Please also include whether your answer is based on how you 'think' you would react in this situation or if your answer is coming from lived experience when something similar happened to you.
How do you define success for a client couple?
How do you nurture your clinical skills?
We all have therapeutic strengths and weaknesses. Is there a couples therapy skill or couple dynamic you find particularly challenging? Where do you see yourself getting stuck? What have you tried so far to address this clinical challenge?
