Entry Level Clinical Therapist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level clinical therapist job?
Entry level clinical therapist positions typically look for a completed master's degree in counseling, social work, or a related field, plus supervised clinical hours from a practicum or internship. Candidates who can show direct client contact hours, familiarity with evidence-based modalities like CBT or DBT, and a state licensure application in progress stand out most at this stage.

Community mental health centers, outpatient behavioral health practices, school districts, and hospital systems tend to be the most active employers at the new grad and junior level.
