Staff Psychotherapist

We have openings for clinicians to provide one or all of the following: individual therapy, couples/relationship therapy, and group therapy. We currently are giving preference to clinicians who have experience in couples/relationship therapy. No clinician will be required to practice outside of their interest or expertise.

We currently offer both in-person and virtual telehealth services. Clinicians who are open to either in person, telehealth, or both modalities will be considered for the position.

This position is an Independent Contractor and reimbursed per clinical/billable hour for their work. Each open position will have the availability of 15 – 25 clinical/billable hours a week with some night and weekend requirements.

Open positions do allow for flexibility in schedule, but a flexibility that requires consistency. Once a schedule is agree upon, each clinician has their own office and office hours to routinely meet with clients.

H&C does not ask their clinicians to market themselves or complete billing. Our office completes insurance billing and follow up communication in house, and we communicate directly with referral sources as well as facilitate initial intake procedures.
