Child Therapist Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a child therapist in Colorado?
You become a child therapist in Colorado by earning a master's degree in a qualifying clinical field and then obtaining licensure through the Colorado Division of Regulatory Agencies. Most practitioners pursue the Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, each requiring supervised clinical hours and a licensure exam. Completing a supervised internship during graduate school is the standard first step toward accumulating those hours.
How much do child therapists make in Colorado?
Child therapists in Colorado earn a median of about $60,700 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $47,030 for the lowest 10% to over $128,400 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire child therapists in Colorado?
Colorado child therapist roles are posted by Hazel Health, Clinica Family Health & Wellness, and Sea Mar Community Health Centers and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Colorado's strong community mental health center network and large school district system mean hiring is distributed across both nonprofit behavioral health organizations and public education employers statewide.
Which Colorado cities have the most child therapist jobs?
Aurora, Denver, and Boulder have the most child therapist openings in Colorado. Denver drives the largest volume through its concentration of community mental health centers, children's hospitals, and integrated health systems, while Colorado Springs and other cities appear because of their sizable school districts and regional behavioral health networks that consistently recruit licensed clinicians.
How can I get hired as a child therapist in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a licensed clinical associate or counselor trainee role while completing supervised hours toward full licensure. Large Colorado community mental health centers such as Jefferson Center for Mental Health and Centennial Mental Health Center regularly bring on post-graduate associates for structured supervision. School districts across the Front Range also hire school-based mental health clinicians who are still accruing hours, and a graduate internship completed within a Colorado agency gives candidates a measurable edge in that application process.
Where can I find and apply to child therapist jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to child therapist jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current Colorado openings from employers across the state. Find the roles that fit your license level, specialty, and preferred location, then apply directly to each employer through the listing.
