Employment Opportunities

Our Why: 

Because we [therapists, helpers, human-facing workers] deserve better. Three Oaks is on a mission to create a workplace where therapists can practice their calling while feeling supported, balanced, and nourished; resulting in truly extraordinary work and client care that does not contribute to or promote burnout. Global goal: play our part in helping as many HELPERS stay engaged in the field, and enjoy longevity in the industry, as possible. We believe that when helpers are cared for, they are able to practice, grow & develop their craft, leading to excellent client care and outcomes.

Core Values:

Confident humility: We are confident that we have something to contribute to Three Oaks, our clients & the world, AND we are humble enough to maintain that we do not [and will never] know everything. We believe there is always something we can learn from those around us and we never presume to have every answer or know what’s best for someone else. 

Openness: We are open to receiving feedback, support, and observation. We are open to new ideas and rethinking old ideas. We are open to adapting when change is afoot. We hold on loosely to process, procedure, and structure as we know the world is ever changing and part of being responsive is being able to ‘flow.’ 

Integrity: We believe in doing the right thing, especially when no one is watching. We believe in owning our missteps & honor that as humans, we are imperfect and therefore, error is a part of our natural course of development and evolution. We commit to always doing our best, asking for help when we need it, and being honest when we make mistakes. We commit to ‘owning our stuff’ proactively; calling attention to areas of concern/vulnerability openly and directly. Some statements of integrity may sound like: 

“Hey team, I think I messed up here…”
“Hi all, I made a mistake…”
“All, I fully own that. In hindsight, I absolutely should have X...”
“I really struggle with X and need support with Y...”

Conscious Leadership: We believe in conscious leadership. More specifically, in leading with integrity, compassion, and humility. We lead by listening, observing, and communicating carefully; through stewardship and self-improvement. In any position of leadership, we believe in uplifting & supporting those around us, and facilitating trust. We recognize that as professionals, we are all leaders in our industry and accept this responsibility and charge. 

Collaboration: We believe that we are stronger as a collective. We believe that our ideas, execution, and facilitation can all be improved by working together. We honor each other’s ability to contribute and recognize that each of our unique life experiences equips us to offer diverse feedback, skills, and lenses with which we see the world. We believe in participating in feedback: both receiving and offering it. 

Safety (in all things): We believe that safety is a human right and a fundamental foundation to people feeling integrated, inspired, balanced, and valued. We believe in creating and upholding safety in all spaces with colleagues and clients; particularly when giving and receiving feedback. This includes physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological safety. We believe social justice is a key element of safety and we commit to upholding social justice principles of access, equity, diversity, participation, and rights across all Three Oaks spaces.

Organizational Cognizance: We believe we are a part of something bigger than ourselves & agree to nurture and extend personal warmth. We recognize that we impact those around us and agree to be mindful of our daily interactions and behaviors, especially those that pertain to colleagues and clients at Three Oaks. We commit to self regulating; NOT self denying. We honor that hard moments and feelings are a part of life & every workplace. We know that our feelings and experiences provide important information that can lead to beneficial changes when shared skillfully and from a ‘wise mind.’ We agree to self regulate before reaching out to a colleague with information, feelings, and/or feedback. We recognize that this protects our boundaries and the boundaries of our colleagues without denying our own validity to feel and experience the world around us.

Continuous Improvement: A growth-oriented mindset and commitment to continuous improvement are central to the way we operate and function as individuals and as a collaborative within Three Oaks. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn, develop, and do better. We embrace this reality and see it as a way to reflect and grow personally and professionally. Continuous improvement is an essential part of ensuring that Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging are championed and sustained in all interactions and as Three Oaks grows and evolves. This approach recognizes that consistent evaluation and evolution of organizational practices, policies, and behaviors are integral to upholding the safety of our spaces. Continuous improvement helps us remember that nothing is a ‘perfect’ or ‘untouchable’ state. Therefore, we expect and embrace analysis, feedback, and changing/evolving needs to inform our next steps. We agree to lean on other Three Oaks core values of openness and humility to support and engage in continuous improvement.  Three Oaks commits to constantly evaluating and refining operations to improve our team’s workplace and space. We invest in change readiness and change management to support Three Oaks’ team members in adopting updated practices and integrating new learning. We will adapt to changing environments, identify areas for growth, and foster a culture of innovation, disruption, and dissent.  As a team, we embrace a mindset of seeking to do things better and nurturing sustainable and meaningful growth, of which we are all a part.
