Mental Health Counseling — Psychologist Career Context

This Mental Health Counseling position at Child and Family Services of Erie County is open to psychologist candidates.

Psychologists are seeing unprecedented demand driven by the mental health crisis, with telehealth dramatically expanding access and enabling fully remote practice.

Remote psychologist positions in Mental Health Counseling have grown significantly in recent years, offering clinicians the ability to maintain a full patient panel without geographic constraints or commute-related burnout.

Compensation Analysis

This employer qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Eligible clinicians can have their remaining federal student loan balance forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments (10 years). For physicians and advanced practice providers carrying significant educational debt, PSLF eligibility can represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in long-term financial benefit.

This position also offers production-based compensation: $60 per hourly. Production bonuses can significantly increase total earnings above the stated base salary range.
