Just the perfect fit
Per Diem Mental Health Therapist
Posted 08/28/2022
Job description
This position is excellent for someone who only wants to do therapy a few hours per week. We are interested in a psychologist or mental health counselor who has advanced knowledge and experience working with specific populations or who has earned certification in an evidence-based practice. This positions has no billed hour requirement so long as they maintain client availability.
Our Clinical Position:
- We highly encourage and support therapists choosing their ideal case types and population. We strongly believe that when the therapist is successful and happy, the client is successful, and when the client is successful, our group practice is successful. We are against a one-size-fits-all approach to supporting your caseload.
- We provide consultation or supervision to therapists at no cost.
- no billed minimum client hours per week so long as there are regular available client hours
- Our group practice affords a wonderful location, beautifully decorated offices, professional location with ample parking for clients and free parking for staff.
- A full administrative and billing staff to ensure a level of legal, emotional, financial, and physical security.
- Reimburse up to $150 per year for individual malpractice insurance.
- Washington State sick time at a rate of 1 hour for every 40 billed client hours
- Administrative and billing staff collect all client balance and fees so therapists don’t have to
- We charge and collect late cancel or no-show fees from clients so you get paid for those hours when collected.
- Lastly, unlike private practice where you get paid when the insurance company decides to pay you (a feast and famine approach), we are able to pay our therapists for their billed hours every 2 weeks. Claim denials or claw backs are not put on the therapist.
