About Us

The Mental Wellness Center (TMWC) is a values-driven group practice rooted in evidence-based care, community, and clinical excellence. We are a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and we believe clinicians do their best work when they are supported clinically and operationally. We take clinician sustainability seriously. We want you here for the long haul, not burned out in a year.

We are looking for a full-time adult therapist who wants to do meaningful clinical work, keep growing, and be part of a team that has their back.

Why Clinicians Choose TMWC

$1500 sign-on bonus for new hires.

Referrals are already waiting. We have a steady stream of adult clients looking for care. You will not be building a caseload from scratch.

We handle the business side. Billing, credentialing, scheduling, and insurance are all taken care of by our administrative team, so your energy goes to your clients.

A schedule you build. We ask for two evenings a week until 7 p. m. or a weekend shift of your choosing. Beyond that, your schedule is yours.

Supervision toward licensure. Provisionally licensed clinicians receive supervision as part of the job, from people who want to see you grow.

A team that actually supports you. Regular team meetings, group consultation, lunch-and-learns, growth development groups, and ongoing professional development. You will not be doing this work alone.

Free EMDR consultation. Monthly consultation toward EMDR certification for clinicians who want to pursue it.

Position Overview

We are seeking a full-time, provisionally or fully licensed therapist to provide individual therapy to adults. You will work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based approaches that fit each person. There is room to develop a specialty, and we will support you in building one.

Responsibilities

  • Provide evidence-based individual therapy to adults.
  • Complete thorough assessments and collaborative treatment plans.
  • Treat concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and concerns related to neurodivergence.
  • Complete clinical documentation within 24 business hours of each session.
  • Participate in supervision (if provisionally licensed), team meetings, and group consultation.

Marketing Is Encouraged, Never Required

If you want to build your professional identity through outreach, a clinical niche, or workshops, we will back you. If you would rather focus on great clinical work, that is welcome here too.

Requirements

  • Current Illinois license: LPC, LSW, or LAMFT (provisional), or LCPC, LCSW, or LMFT (full).
  • Eligible for insurance credentialing (our team manages the process for you).
  • Ability to maintain a full-time caseload of at least 25 clients per week.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Open to feedback, supervision, and collaboration.

Preferred Qualifications

Training in evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, DBT skills, EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), or Prolonged Exposure (PE).

  • Experience with trauma, including complex trauma.
  • Experience working with neurodivergent adults.
  • Interest in developing a clinical specialty, group, or workshop.

What We Offer

  • $1500 sign-on bonus.
  • Pay of $42,50 to $55.65 per insurance-billed session for provisionally licensed clinicians and $51.25 to $66.15 for fully licensed clinicians, with clear progression tied to licensure and caseload milestones.
  • Full-time clinicians can expect approximately $63,000 to $82,687.50 annually, plus paid time off.
  • Health insurance for full-time clinicians (billing at least 25 clients per week).
  • Retirement plan with employer contribution.
  • Paid time off at your regular pay rate.
  • Supervision toward licensure for provisionally licensed clinicians.
  • Full administrative support for billing, credentialing, scheduling, and insurance.
  • A clear pathway toward full licensure, specialization, and advancement within the practice.
  • What Success Looks Like
  • 80% client utilization rate ([define]).
  • Clinical documentation completed within 24 business hours.
  • Consistent billing of at least 25 clients per week.

Is This You?

You care deeply about your clients and want to keep getting better at this work. You are steady when sessions get hard, curious about what’s underneath, and honest about what you don’t know yet. You want structure and support, plus the freedom to grow into the clinician you are becoming.

How to Apply

Send in your resume and cover letter. Tell us about your clinical interests and the clients you love working with. We’ll follow up within 3 business days.
