Flexible Job Summary About Talk Therapy Center:

We are a therapist-centered practice—built by therapists, for therapists. Our team came together after experiencing the frustration of high-volume, low-support corporate models that overwork and underpay clinicians. We are not interested in "band-aid" therapy, high-turnover EAP models, or unsustainable cash-pay/super-bill setups. Instead, we are an insurance-based private practice committed to meaningful, long-term therapy that promotes true healing and change. We believe therapy should remain accessible to clients who use their health insurance benefits. At Talk Therapy Center, we: Value each other as professionals Support each other's growth Therapists match themselves with the right clients so they can do their best work Maintain a strong, vibrant, and healthy workplace culture We are a group practice based in Riverside, CA offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy both in-person and via telehealth. We also have offices in Murrieta and Corona to help our local team find a nearby office to call home. Most of our clients are low-acuity individuals referred through insurance networks for treatment of adjustment disorders, depression, and anxiety.

Job Overview:

Important Employment Structure (Please Read Carefully) Associate therapists begin in a W-2 fee-for-service role while building their caseload. Once clinicians consistently maintain a minimum average of 25 conducted sessions per week, they become eligible for transition into our full-time benefited compensation structure. Clinical Session Requirement Minimum of 25 therapy sessions per week (each 60 minutes) in order to transition into the full-time role.

Reminder:

Associates remain in the Piece Rate Worker status until they reach and maintain this caseload threshold and are formally offered a full-time benefits-eligible position. Work Schedule & Pay (Upon Full-Time Transition)

Full-time:

Clinical Sessions Session Compensation:

$16.90 per session for the first 25 weekly sessions
