Mental health psychotherapist or counselor

Job Summary A small specialized private practice in the Avondale area is seeking to add a skilled clinician to the team. Third Culture Therapy is a private practice that currently focuses on sex and relational therapy, headed up by Grace Casper, LMFTA and current AASECT candidate. I often refer out clients seeking individual therapy, since I have limited working hours and prefer to keep inside my niche of sexual issues and relationship work. However, I would like to expand my practice to add on a therapist or counselor who works with individuals so that we can work together to provide holistic mental health care for clients when appropriate. This way, I can focus on doing relational work with couples and families and I can rely on you for individual work (and, if you're open to it, some cotherapy). I also feel very passionately about creating a practice that pays its contracted clinicians fairly and well, allowing you to keep the lion's share of the money you make and working out a split for both of us that covers things like rent, software, and any administrative time while allowing you to feel in control of your finances and workload. That being said, I would like a clinician who is able to commit to a minimum of 10 client hours per week to make the cost make sense. We are a private-pay only office meaning we do not work with insurance companies but we do provide superbills when needed. I am open to work with associate-level counselors and therapists as well as fully licensed counselors and therapists. I am also willing to take on and pay the right intern-level therapist or counselor, though I would not be able to provide supervision. I would, however, like to staff cases together regularly to ensure quality care is being provided to our clients. This is a good role for you if you are self-driven, independent, a talented and dedicated professional, and prefer to do the fulfilling therapeutic work without having to deal with too much administrative stuff. It is a great role for you if you care as passionately as I do about providing ethical, quality care to clients while making a living wage and working to create more balanced conditions within the mental health industry. This may not be the right fit for you if you require a lot of hands-on leadership, if you would rather not commit to working on average 15 hours a week, and if you prefer to build and manage your own brand. Duties Conduct sharp, care-based therapy sessions with clients that are rooted in evidence-supported, science-based interventions. Develop personalized treatment plans incorporating evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, experiential therapy, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and whichever other modalities resonate with you as a clinician. Provide counseling/therapy sessions addressing issues like anxiety, depression, self-exploration, grief, gender identity, sexuality and problematic sexual behaviors, relational stress, and other general client needs. On the occasions that require it, implement crisis intervention strategies to manage acute mental health emergencies effectively and ensure patient safety. Maintain consistent medical documentation adhering to HIPAA regulations; record patient interactions, progress notes, and treatment outcomes. Qualifications Master's degree or higher in therapy, psychology, social work, counseling, or a related field from an accredited institution. Valid licensure or certification as a licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), marriage and family therapist (MFT), or equivalent credential. Associate-level and intern-level therapists and counselors are also welcome to apply. Proven experience in psychotherapy modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, addiction counseling, grief counseling, and crisis management. Strong skills in crisis intervention techniques and behavior management strategies. Telehealth experience preferred; ability to adapt therapeutic approaches for virtual delivery. Excellent communication skills with the ability to build rapport with diverse patient populations; commitment to ethical standards including HIPAA compliance.
