We handle the administrative tasks so you can focus on what you do best: providing exceptional client care. We are seeking a passionate, part-time therapist to join our team as a 1099 independent contractor and grow with us.

This part-time role is your gateway. As you successfully build your caseload, you will have the opportunity to transition into a full-time, W-2 position with a comprehensive benefits package.

Imagine a role where you get:

The Freedom of a Private Practice: Set your own schedule and enjoy the autonomy of a 1099 position, building up to a minimum of 16 clients per week.

A Path to Full-Time & Benefits: Demonstrate your success and seamlessly transition to a full-time W-2 role with health insurance, PTO, 401(k), and more.

The Support of a Team: Say goodbye to isolation. You’ll have a built-in network for collaboration, consultation, and support.

Zero Administrative Headaches: We manage all insurance verification, billing, and credentialing for you.

Here’s How We Set You Up for Success: We believe in empowering our clinicians. When you join our team, you get the tools and support to build a fulfilling practice efficiently.

Competitive & Transparent Compensation: Earn a 40-60% split of insurance reimbursements, with your percentage based on your experience level. You are paid biweekly for smooth cash flow.

Client Referrals: We are committed to building your caseload. We handle clinic-wide marketing and will advertise your profile across all our platforms. We also encourage and support your own outreach and community relations efforts to help you grow.

Fully Supported Practice:

Welcoming Office Space: A modern, comfortable office for your in-person sessions.

Supervision & Collaboration: Receive supervision and have regular opportunities to collaborate with a diverse team across all experience levels and specialties.

In-House Psychiatry: Offer your clients the full spectrum of care with seamless access to our in-house psychiatrist.

Peer Support: Always have someone to communicate with, learn from, and lean on.

What We’re Looking For:

Current therapy or counseling licensure in Illinois (LSW / LCSW, LPC / LCPC, LMFT, PsyD, PhD).

Passion for mental health, reducing stigma, and making therapy accessible.

Experience and interest in providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and/or families.

Excellent communication skills and a commitment to collaborative, authentic care.
