Contractor Role

About Unraveling Free

Unraveling Free is a therapy and coaching practice supporting people who are healing from religious trauma, faith transitions, and high-control belief systems. Our work centers curiosity over compliance, nervous system regulation over behavior management, and meaning-making over pathology.

We serve clients who are often thoughtful, sensitive, justice-oriented, and navigating the grief, anger, and identity shifts that come with disentangling from rigid belief systems.

The Role

We are seeking a licensed mental health therapist to join our practice as a part-time contractor, working primarily with adults healing from religious trauma and related concerns (anxiety, shame, relational rupture, identity loss, people-pleasing, spiritual abuse).

This role is ideal for someone who:

  • Wants low hours, high alignment

  • Enjoys depth work without productivity pressure

  • Values autonomy and thoughtful clinical care

  • Desires growth (open to case consultation, trainings, etc)

Responsibilities

  • Provide individual therapy to adult clients (telehealth)

  • Hold a trauma-informed, non-coercive therapeutic stance

  • Collaborate as needed with the practice owners (case consultation, values alignment)

  • Maintain timely documentation in a simple EHR system

Required Qualifications

  • Active LPC, LMFT, or LCSW license in any state

  • Experience and/or training working with religious trauma, spiritual abuse, or faith deconstruction

  • Strong grounding in trauma-informed care (somatic, IFS, attachment-based, or nervous-system-aware approaches welcome)

  • Comfort working with clients who are questioning or leaving organized religion

  • Commitment to non-pathologizing, client-centered practice

  • Open to working as a coach with clients throughout the US

Strongly Preferred

  • Lived experience with faith transition or religious systems (not required, but deeply valued)

  • Familiarity with high-control dynamics, purity culture, or authoritarian family/religious structures

  • Experience integrating identity, grief, and meaning-making into therapy

What This Is Not

This role is not a fit for clinicians who:

  • Rely heavily on rigid CBT-only frameworks for trauma work

  • View faith deconstruction as a symptom to be “resolved”

  • Struggle to view symptoms as a product of systemic harm, not solely individual responsibility

  • Are uncomfortable discussing power, control, or systemic harm in religious contexts

  • Clinicians who struggle to work with neurodivergent individuals in an affirming, non behavior-modifying way

Compensation & Structure

  • Competitive per-session contractor rate (65%)

  • Flexible scheduling

  • Very part-time caseload with room to adjust slowly

  • No expectation to build a full caseload or “scale”
