Join the Team — Clinician Careers | Cadence Wellness Danbury CT

Why We Exist

The system was designed
for the wrong outcome.

Most clinical environments were designed around liability, not healing. They fragment care into 50-minute windows, separate the body from the mind, and reward throughput over transformation.

The result is a generation of clinicians who entered this field with purpose — and discovered a system engineered to burn them out before they could change it.

Cadence Wellness was built as an answer to that. Not a reaction. A deliberate design.

We integrate psychotherapy with performance science, nervous system regulation with recovery infrastructure, and trauma-informed care with the operational mindset of the populations we serve — veterans, first responders, athletes, and high-stress professionals.

We believe clinician wellbeing and client outcomes are inseparable. You cannot sustain effective trauma work inside a depleted system. You cannot teach regulation while operating in dysregulation.

Regulation Before Optimization

The nervous system is the foundation of all performance and recovery. We meet it there — not in the symptom.

Recovery Is Infrastructure

In elite performance environments, recovery is never optional. We design care around this truth — for clients and clinicians alike.

Resilience Is Trainable

Protective factors can be rebuilt. Capacity can be restored. We don't wait for crisis — we develop the conditions that prevent it.

The Environment

An environment
built for the work.

Cadence Wellness is designed from the inside out — not as a waiting room experience, but as a performance and recovery ecosystem. Every element supports the therapeutic process.

Private Clinical Suites

Thoughtfully designed therapy offices that support the nervous system through acoustics, lighting, and spatial calm.

Performance Lab

A dedicated performance environment integrating movement, strength, and somatic regulation into the continuum of care.

Infrared Sauna

Sauna integrated as therapeutic recovery modality — not an amenity. For clients and clinicians alike.

Cold Plunge System

Contrast therapy for vagal stimulation, recovery acceleration, and psychological resilience training.

Sound Lounge

Dedicated space for sound healing, structured breathwork protocols, and individual or group regulation sessions.

Collaborative Ecosystem

Clinicians, performance specialists, and recovery professionals working in an integrated model — not in isolation.

We Practice What We Preach

The founder gets in the
cold plunge too.

Jason regularly participates alongside clients in cold plunges, sauna sessions, and capacity-building work. This is not a policy — it is a culture.

We support walk-and-talk therapy, clinician participation in recovery modalities, and the overall wellness of every practitioner on our team. With appropriate client consents, clinicians are empowered to bring the full environment into the work.

Clinician Participation

Cold plunge and sauna sessions alongside clients — not observed, experienced.

Walk-and-Talk Therapy

Movement-integrated sessions supported by the facility environment and surrounding grounds.

Clinician Wellness

Access to all recovery modalities for our team. You cannot pour from an empty vessel — we take that seriously.

Who We're Looking For

Not just qualified.
Mission-aligned.

Credentials matter. But they're a floor, not a ceiling. We are looking for clinicians who think in systems, work across disciplines, and believe that the environment where care happens is part of the care.

Resilience Orientation

You understand adversity not just clinically — you've navigated it. You've worked with people in extremis and know what recovery actually demands.
Curiosity Across Disciplines

You read beyond your field. Neuroscience, performance science, somatic approaches, recovery biology. The body and mind are one system to you.
Comfort With Innovation

You're not attached to the way it's always been done. You're interested in what works — and open to evidence that challenges assumptions.
Collaborative Mentality

You don't hoard cases or compete with colleagues. You consult, co-create, and see interdisciplinary collaboration as a clinical asset.
High Emotional Intelligence

You regulate before you respond. You understand attunement as a therapeutic tool — not just with clients, but within a team.

Credentials & Backgrounds

LPC LMHC LCSW LMSW Sports Psychologist Psychiatric APRN Psychiatrist

Lived experience with high-performance populations is a meaningful differentiator. We especially welcome clinicians who have competed or served at the highest levels — college and professional athletes, Special Operations, and Special Forces veterans. That context is not incidental — it is clinical.

Service animals & life buddies welcome.

What Makes This Different

The same credential.
A different environment.

Traditional Practice

Isolated Private Office

One clinician. One office. Minimal consultation. High burden with low structural support.

Symptom Management Focus

Reactive care cycles. Treating the presenting problem without access to its physiological substrate.

Burnout Embedded in the Model

The throughput model optimizes for billings, not clinician longevity. Attrition is treated as normal.

Siloed Disciplines

Therapy here. Recovery there. Fitness elsewhere. No integrated architecture.

Limited Growth Trajectory

Continuing to do the same work in the same structure. Little opportunity for program creation or innovation.

Cadence Wellness

Integrated Recovery Ecosystem

Clinicians embedded in a collaborative, multi-modal environment with performance and recovery infrastructure.

Body + Mind Regulation

Access to sauna, cold plunge, breathwork, and movement as legitimate clinical tools, not add-ons.

Clinician Wellness Is Non-Negotiable

Clinicians access the same recovery environment as clients. You are expected to practice what you facilitate.

Therapy Beyond the Office

Walk-and-talk sessions, movement-integrated care, and clinician participation in recovery modalities — supported with proper consent frameworks.

Early-Stage Impact Opportunity

Build programs. Shape culture. Create the model you wish existed. We are early enough that it matters.

Opportunities

Room to build.
Room to lead.

Program Development

Design and lead evidence-based programs for veterans, first responders, and athletes. Move beyond the 50-minute session model.

Group Facilitation

Develop and run therapeutic groups, resilience intensives, and performance-focused group experiences for specialized populations.

Leadership Tracks

As Cadence grows, so do the leadership opportunities. Clinical lead, program director, and specialty track positions will expand with us.

Workshop & Training

Facilitate professional training, community education, and employer resilience workshops. Extend your reach beyond individual clients.

Veteran & Athlete Initiatives

Work directly with specialized populations in intensive formats. Design the intervention architecture. Build the evidence base.

Nonprofit Integration

Cadence is building toward a nonprofit arm to extend services to those who need them most. Be part of that infrastructure from the start.

This is early-stage enough to matter. The decisions made in the next 18 months will define what Cadence becomes. We are looking for people who want to be part of that design process.

The Founder

Jason Culbreth, LPC

Jason built Cadence Wellness from the inside out — shaped by decades in high-performance, high-consequence environments before entering the clinical world.

A Navy Special Operations veteran and retired firefighter, Jason understands the populations Cadence serves not as a clinician looking in, but as someone who has lived the operational life, managed the weight of it, and found a way through.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR-trained therapist, he brings together trauma-informed practice, performance psychology, and recovery science into an integrated model of care.

Cadence Wellness is not an abstraction. It is the environment he wished existed when he needed it — and is now building for others who do.

We are not building
another clinic.

We are building an environment designed to restore rhythm, rebuild capacity, and return agency — to the people we serve, and to the clinicians who serve them.
