Mental Health Therapist/ Counseling Associate
We are seeking early career therapists in Oregon to join our fun and dynamic group practice. We are a locally-owned business seeking providers who are interested in working with individuals who have difficulties with attention and executive functioning, as well as other mental health conditions such as anxiety, trauma, and depression.
Counseling associates (eligible as a professional counselor associate with the Oregon Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists) are welcome to apply! We provide structured pre and post hire training and support for new providers. We understand that ADHD diagnosis or treatment may not be robustly covered in training programs, and we provide lots of support to help new providers develop this new skill set.
The ideal candidate has strong differential diagnostic and treatment skills, with a desire to work in a collaborative team environment.
Job Type: Full-time
Compensation: All behavioral health providers are salaried.
The minimum salary for counseling associates is presently $60,039.80. The minimum contact hours for associates is 20 hours per week.
Transparency and equality in our compensation are important values to our clinic, and we'd be happy to talk to you further about the details of our compensation model!
In addition to a generous shared-compensation model, benefits include:
- Flexible scheduling (make your own hours, work 4 or 5 days per week)
- Paid vacation - 120 hours (associates)
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Company-sponsored 401k, with up to a 3% match
- Continuing education opportunities and consultation groups
- Furnished office in one of our three newly renovated buildings in the Portland Metro area
About Us
What sets us apart from other mental health employers is our commitment to the well-being of our team. We demonstrate this value by providing a rich benefits package beyond what is available at peer organizations, including paid time off and select paid holidays off. We strive to sustain a collaborative, no-hierarchy team environment, where every employee's contribution is respected and valued. All of our behavioral health provider positions are salaried to provide our staff with income stability and security that may not be present in revenue share based compensation models.
We see clients who present with attention related concerns, and evaluate them to see if they have ADHD or if their attention related concerns are due to another mental health condition. We treat clients with ADHD, as well as a range of other diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and adjustment disorders. As we are an outpatient specialty clinic, we currently do not provide services and refer out for the following conditions: psychosis, active substance abuse, and eating disorders.
Our clinical staff is comprised of psychologists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, counselors, and social workers, working in three locations across Portland. We offer the flexibility of a private practice model, but with the support of an administrative team composed of intake screening, scheduling, front desk, billing, credentialing, and marketing. The management staff is receptive to feedback and supportive of our providers.
Job Duties:
- Intake evaluations
- Providing individual therapy
- Documenting all sessions and client contacts within 72 hours
- Caseload management, including outreach, case closures, referrals, and termination documentation
- Providing group, couples, or family therapy (optional)
