Role Overview

This position suits independently licensed therapists seeking predictable W-2 employment with full benefits, flexible scheduling within a structured outpatient model, minimal administrative workload, and clear patient care expectations.

• Maintain a steady outpatient caseload with transparent treatment objectives
• Exclude inpatient, intensive outpatient program, partial hospitalization program, or crisis call duties
• Collaborate through internal referral networks including psychiatrists

Clinical Autonomy and Work Flexibility

• Exercise independent clinical decision-making within evidence-based guidelines
• Adjust weekly schedules and availability in accordance with operational standards
• Engage in clinical approaches shaped by practicing clinicians, emphasizing professional judgment and shared quality accountability
• Work independently while having access to clinical leadership for support and consultation
• Focus on patient care with administrative tasks handled by support teams

Qualifications

• Hold active independent licensing as LCSW, LMFT, LPC, LMHC, or equivalent
• Have an unrestricted, current license with support for multiple states where applicable
• Possess two or more active state licenses (excluding California, New York, and Massachusetts)
• Demonstrate comfort managing a consistent outpatient caseload

• Adapt well to a fast-paced but sustainable outpatient environment
• Preferred experience includes outpatient, community mental health, hospital, intensive outpatient program, or other structured clinical settings
• Preferred familiarity with structured, skills-based therapeutic modalities such as CBT, ACT, MI, or DBT-informed care
• This role is not intended for those seeking supervision towards licensure or interested exclusively in independent 1099/private practice models; this is a collaborative team environment

Compensation and Benefits

• Full-time or part-time employment as a W-2 employee
• Base salary starting at $70,000 annually with potential additional incentives up to $20,000
• Salary increases based on tenure after two years
