  • Attentive to ego, with the ability to take a trauma-informed approach to de-escalate conflict
  • Familiarity or proficiency with Google Drive Suite, Salesforce, and email
  • A solid understanding of various mental health conditions and appropriate coaching strategies

Priority given to:

  • Candidates who graduated from a comprehensive coaching program accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) or hold an ICF credential, and have completed a minimum of 100 client coaching hours with at least one year post-graduation experience.
  • Those with Cognitive-Behavioral Certifications, or graduate degrees in therapy adjacent work
  • Most ideally those who have certifications in the Co-Active Training institute (CTI) model, of which we try to model our hybrid trauma informed coaching around.
  • Personal experience with homelessness preferred
