Flexible schedule Application Question(s): This is a 1099 independent contractor position — meaning there is no base salary or guaranteed hours. Your income depends entirely on the clients you see. Building a full caseload typically takes 4-6 months, during which earnings will be limited. Therapeutic relationships are meaningful and disrupting them by leaving early negatively impacts client care and wellbeing.

Are you able to confirm all three?
