Position

Psychotherapist

We are currently searching for 3-4 LMSWs (or equivalent degree) for a full time psychotherapist position (a caseload of ~25 clients) to work with individuals and couples online and in person. An interest in group work is welcome but not required.

We welcome and strongly encourage candidates of diverse backgrounds to apply. Responsibilities include:

  • Conducting intake sessions

  • Weekly psychotherapy sessions

  • Completing notes and assessments

  • Attending weekly individual & group supervision

  • A small amount of marketing work to help increase client inquiries.  

 

Compensation and benefits

Employees will receive support to market themselves and are expected to build up to a caseload of 20-25 weekly clients, with compensation reaching up to 70k in the first 12 months. We also offer a 401K with employer matching, paid time off and compensation toward health insurance and training.

 

Qualifications

The ideal candidate already has a demonstrated interest in trauma-focused and somatically oriented psychotherapy, ideally through their own training, field placement, reading and personal work. Most importantly, they should take an active role in their learning and growth as a therapist and be able to strike a balance between asking for help when needed and demonstrate a willingness to try new or unfamiliar things in order to stretch and grow as a clinician. They also possess the ability to recognize and support their colleagues in their growth and learning. 

A basic comfort with technology is essential.  We encourage videotaping for clinical supervision and rely heavily on web-based tools for documentation and communication.
