Dr. Dawn Johnson and Associates Psychotherapy is currently accepting applications for postdoctoral psychotherapists beginning work in summer 2025.

Dr. Dawn Johnson and Associates is a boutique, private pay group practice based in Washington, DC.  We support a great population of clients - typically high achieving college students through established professionals struggling with anxiety, relationships, family of origin concerns, self-esteem/body image, perinatal/parenting, and life transitions. They are motivated to do the work of therapy, and generally committed to long-term treatment relationships. 

As a practice, we value: 

Providing high quality clinical care from a range of theoretical approaches, and we welcome your unique voice to our mix 

Providing open and affirming treatment to individuals of all backgrounds

Working together in a collegial, low-stress, productive, and supportive environment, with an emphasis on work/life balance and preventing clinician burnout

Providing a flexible schedule with a hybrid virtual/ in person (downtown DC) caseload 

Valuing your skills with competitive compensation (1099/contractor)  

Helping you succeed with referrals and a work/life friendly caseload of 18+ client sessions a week

Together, we’ll work in a warm, mentorship-oriented supervisory relationship focused on your clinical and professional goals. We’ll do this through: 

Two hours of weekly clinical supervision (individual and group) provided by a Licensed Psychologist, in accordance with the DC requirements for Psychology licensure

A focus on building confidence in your own voice and clinical judgment, as well as encouraging thoughtfulness around professional identity and work-life balance 

*Supervisees must be physically located in DC or Virginia due to licensing requirements

You are someone who: 

Takes pride in their work, both as a clinician and as a colleague, and demonstrates a high level of professionalism

Enjoys learning and growing in your career, both through formal avenues and informal 

Has experience providing outpatient psychotherapy to clients aged 18+

Ideally has experience treating some combination of anxiety, depression, relationships, academic/career stress, perinatal concerns, or disordered eating, and/or individuals from university student, LGBTQ+, international/1st gen, kink or non-monogamous communities (no need to have all of these - see our earlier point about learning and growing!)

Has a high level of professionalism, with the maturity to manage your own schedule, stay on top of notes, and communicate at a level commensurate with our downtown DC client population

Will have a doctoral degree in psychology and be eligible for DC and Virginia Psychology Associate/Resident licenses by September 2025 

Likes coming into the office to see clients one or two days a week and then working virtually the rest of the time

To apply, please email your cover letter (yes, we read them!) and CV to Dr. Dawn Johnson at ------------. In addition to telling us about yourself, please specify your availability and confirm that you are willing and able to work from DC and/or Virginia as of September 2025. We also welcome off-cycle applications, and review these on a case-by-case basis.
