Volunteer with the Mindful Wellness Center of Austin
Volunteer Opportunities
We have experienced a lot of growth with our affordable counseling program. In order to better support our community with quality and diverse services as well as supporting our clinicians who are fine-tuning their skills as they work towards full licensure, MWCA needs clinical and non-clinical volunteers and board members.
If you are passionate about affordable, accessible, holistic, and mindfulness-based services in Austin and have about 3-4 hours per month to volunteer, please consider the areas below to see if there is a good fit for both of us.
Areas we could use support:
Licensed Mental Health Professionals to Lead Peer Groups
We are looking for licensed therapist with at least 5 years of clinical experience to lead an hour-long ‘Peer Group’ on Zoom. These Peer Groups make space for burgeoning student therapists and newly licensed therapists to share their experiences, challenges, ask questions in a judgment-free space and, if time allows, receive feedback on a client case.
Peer Group Leader Requirements:
~ Fully licensed as an LPC, LCSW, or LMFT in Texas with counseling experience
~ Must be a mindfulness-based clinician and located in the Austin area
~ Commit 1 or 2 hours per month

THERAPIST TRAINING / EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS
Our graduate-level student interns and associate therapists are eager to add more therapeutic tools to their knowledge base.
