> I posted this announcement previously, but we only have a FEW applicants so I'm hoping to get more people interested in this position by re-posting.  We are a counseling program with feminist/LGBTQQI/creativity orientations, located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, and working with a really cool group of colleagues:  what's not to like?  There's an official contact person for this position listed at the bottom of the announcement, but I'm also happy to answer any questions as well!  We would be really happy if we found a person with expertise in our four focus options:  counseling with LGBTQQI clients, feminist counseling, mind/body and creativity perspectives, and community/professional advocacy.
