Why You’ll Love Working With Us:

• Competitive pay, without the burnout: $75/hr to start.
• 20 clients/week = $78,000/yr
• 30 clients/week = $117,000/yr

• 401(k)
• Paid time off (2 weeks PTO, plus no restrictions on unpaid leave)
• Health/dental/vision insurance stipend (for full-time staff)
• Profit sharing
• Group supervision and CEU/training opportunities
• Admin support for billing + new client coordination (so you can focus on therapy, not paperwork)
• True work-life balance: You design your caseload, schedule, and setting (remote, in-person, or hybrid). We support your flexibility.
• Team culture: Connection and support from like-minded, passionate therapists who believe in reshaping how therapy—and therapist employment—work in today’s world.
