  • Strong interpersonal skills and a commitment to ethical, culturally sensitive care.
  • Ability to manage a flexible, self-directed schedule.
  • Weekend and/or evening availability is strongly preferred to accommodate current client needs.

Compensation:

  • Highly competitive session rates: $90.00 – $130.00 per hour, based on experience and credentials.
