Job Description

Thriving Center of Psychology is hiring full-time, salaried Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT) on a hybrid schedule, splitting the week between our Manhattan offices and remote work. This is a W2 role with benefits, a steady caseload we build with you, and a real clinical community.

You must already hold an active, clear New York LMFT license. We are unable to accept candidates still working toward licensure at this time.

About Thriving Center of Psychology

We are a top rated, clinician-led group practice founded by psychologists, with offices in Midtown and Soho. We built the practice we wanted to work in: real colleagues, real consultation, and the support to do excellent clinical work without carrying the business of a practice on your own.

Why LMFTs choose full time, W2 roles with Thriving:

Most therapist jobs today are 1099 contracts on telehealth platforms without community and you work largely alone. We are built the other way.

Salaried W2 role with benefits: not per-session contractor pay. You are an employee, with a real salary and real benefits.

Genuine clinical community: with required weekly case consultations alongside colleagues who care about the work.

Steady caseload we help build: so you spend your time with clients, not marketing yourself to find them.

Work that lasts: a balanced, sustainable caseload that protects your time and the quality of your care.

Hybrid, the best of both: split your week between our Manhattan offices and home, so you get real colleagues and real flexibility.

Onboarding that sets you up: professional headshots, a polished clinical profile, a feature on our website, and structured check-ins through your first weeks.

What You Will Do

  • Provide psychotherapy to adults across a range of presenting concerns, in person and by telehealth.
  • Use evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.
  • Carry a sustainable caseload with the support of weekly case consultation.
  • Maintain timely, high-quality clinical documentation.
  • Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of LCSW, LMHC, and LMFT clinicians.

What We Offer

  • A salary of $80,000 to $105,000 per year, plus a 5% performance bonus.
  • Full benefits: health, dental, vision, and 401(k).
  • A yearly CEU stipend, plus gym and fitness reimbursement.
  • Minimal paperwork: no insurance billing and no collections to chase.
  • Collaborative, weekly group case consultation plus one-on-one clinical support.
  • Standout onboarding and a real clinical community.
  • Two Manhattan offices, in Midtown and Soho, with a hybrid schedule.

Qualifications

  • An active and clear New York LMFT license.
  • A master's degree in marriage and family therapy.
  • At least 1 year of experience providing therapy to adults independently in outpatient.
  • Must be able to work a 40 hour work week, with a goal of seeing 27 clients per week.
  • Comfort carrying a full clinical caseload of adult clients.
  • A collaborative approach and a commitment to high-quality, evidence-based care.
  • Experience delivering psychotherapy in person or by telehealth.

$80,000 - $105,000 a year
