- BetterCare Wellness — Charlotte, NC | Full-Time W-2 Employee
About the Role
BetterCare Wellness partners with senior living communities in the Rock Hill and Indian Land area to bring on-site mental health counseling directly to older adults where they live. As a member of our clinical team, you'll focus on what you do best — providing excellent clinical care — while we handle the business side that usually eats into a clinician's time and income.
This is a full-time W-2 position with a guaranteed base salary plus an uncapped productivity bonus once your caseload grows beyond a standard threshold.
What We Take Off Your Plate
Most clinicians spend hours a week on things that have nothing to do with therapy. We remove that burden entirely, so your time goes toward clients, not paperwork:
Patient referrals — a steady caseload delivered through our senior-community partnerships, so you're not prospecting for clients
- Credentialing — we handle enrollment and payer credentialing on your behalf
- Billing — full Medicare Part B billing support, so you're never chasing claims or reimbursement
- EHR & documentation systems — access to our platform, already set up and ready to use
- Administrative support — day-to-day logistics handled so you're not doing it solo
- Clinical consultation — ongoing access to consultation and support from our clinical team
In short: no credentialing headaches, no billing backlog, no chasing referrals. You show up, collaborate with community staff, see clients, and get paid — we run the rest.
Compensation
$75,000 guaranteed base salary — paid regardless of caseload fluctuations, as long as you're carrying a full clinical schedule
Uncapped productivity bonus — once your caseload exceeds a standard threshold, you earn additional bonus pay with no ceiling; strong performers earn over $110,000/year
Most clinicians serve 1–4 senior living communities and carry a caseload of around 25–30 clients per week.
What You'll Do
- Provide on-site individual counseling to residents in senior living communities
- Conduct mental health assessments and develop care plans
- Serve as BetterCare Wellness's primary relationship contact with community staff at your assigned site(s)
- Maintain clinical documentation using our EHR system, in compliance with Medicare Part B and ethical/licensure standards
- Collaborate with families, caregivers, and facility staff to support resident wellbeing
What We're Looking For
Fully and independently licensed in North Carolina — LISW, LPC, LMFT, LPA, or Psychologist. This role is not suitable for provisionally licensed or associate-level clinicians.
- Strong relationship-building skills — you'll be the face of BetterCare Wellness within your communities
- Genuine interest in older adult mental health and senior living settings

- Why BetterCare Wellness

- Employer-sponsored health insurance
- Credentialing, billing, and documentation handled so you can focus on clients
- Set your schedule across 1–4 senior living communities
