Job Description

About Maplewood Counseling Maplewood Counseling is a small, close-knit private practice based in Maplewood, NJ, focused primarily on couples and individual therapy, with some family work as well. We're a private-pay practice
  • we don't work in-network with insurance
  • which lets our clinicians focus on the work itself. We believe good outcomes come from consistency and genuine connection, with clients and with each other as a team. About the Role This is a hybrid role
  • in-person on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with telehealth available for both you and your clients the rest of the week.
Building a full caseload takes time, and we don't expect that on day one: most clinicians build up to a steady 10-15 clients per week gradually, as trust and referrals grow. You'll be the dependable in-person option during the week, complementing the rest of our team's weekend and virtual coverage, with room to grow your hours (including a possible Saturday afternoon in-person block) as your caseload builds. What You'll Do
  • Provide in-person couples and individual therapy sessions (occasional family sessions too) Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3-9pm, at our Maplewood office
  • Offer telehealth sessions on other days, a hybrid option available to you and your clients as your caseload grows toward 10-15 clients per week
  • Build and maintain a consistent, steady caseload through thoughtful follow-up and client care
  • Collaborate with our supervising and associate clinicians on client transitions and coverage
  • Keep timely, HIPAA-compliant clinical documentation
  • Optionally, add an in-person Saturday afternoon block down the line if it's a fit for you What We're Looking For
  • Required
  • Active NJ licensure in good standing (LMFT, LCSW, LSW, LPC, or LAMFT
  • associate-level licenses considered with an approved supervision plan)
  • Experience with couples and individual therapy (family experience a plus)
  • Able to reliably commit to in-person hours Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3-9pm
  • A warm, consistent, client-centered approach
  • someone who follows through and stays engaged with their caseload Preferred (nice to have)
  • Experience specifically with couples work
  • Availability to add an in-person Saturday afternoon block in the future Compensation $55
  • 110 per session, based on experience and licensure level. How to Apply Send your resume and license information to contact@maplewoodcounseling.com
  • we'd love to hear from you, and we'll follow up personally.
