Job Description

Outpatient Mental Health Therapist (Child, Family, Adult)

Part-time to Full-time (in office and remote; hybrid position)

Are you ready to make a career move that is exciting, challenging, and rewarding? We have that opportunity if you are licensed in the state of Virginia as an LPC or LCSW and have a desire to work with children and families! Strong preference for Registered Play Therapists or those with training in play therapy.

MySpectrum is offering outpatient counseling and coaching to children and adults, focusing on the Autism Spectrum, Substance Abuse Spectrum, Mental Health Spectrum, and Whole Life Spectrum.

We are recruiting for an LPC or LCSW Therapist who specializes in play therapy, child therapy, and family therapy (with opportunity to balance the caseload with adult clients as well) in an outpatient setting with a particular focus on children and adolescents.

If you find yourself to be an out-of-the-box thinker and relationship-driven Therapist, this may be a good fit for you. We are seeking a Therapist who enjoys their work, likes to have fun, and is passionate about offering the most creative and innovative ways to treat clients.

We want to serve clients who haven't otherwise been able to find the right fit for therapy, who don't fit the mold of other practices who have more narrow focuses, and most of all, want to reduce the stigma associated with receiving therapy.

If you have a special niche, and are wanting to find a place where you can build an established client base in an outpatient setting, MySpectrum will create a home for you.

Instead of worrying about building your own private practice, we will do that for you while offering a team setting for clinical collaboration.

  • Some of the aspects of being in private practice that we will take care of for you at MySpectrum include:
  • Credentialing with insurance carriers
  • Billing (you get paid on a bi-weekly basis regardless of if we do)
  • Office space in a renovated building in North Chesterfield
  • Marketing
  • Use of an electronic health record for documentation of sessions
  • Therapy tools (books, toys, etc.,)
  • Paid training

Collaboration with Other Clinical Professionals

Flexible Schedule; option to work hybrid (both in office and remote) with administrative support throughout the week

Job Summary

The Outpatient Therapist will provide outpatient therapy in an office and virtual setting. The standard caseload for full-time Therapists will be approximately 30 client sessions per week.

We recognize that it may take time to build a solid caseload and are willing to work with you on a part-time basis until you become full-time. Since the primary responsibility will be to provide clinical services to clients, MySpectrum will seek to offer the most effective tools to do so.

We have completely renovated the office space, and offer a play/art room, room for groups, and administrative support.
