About You
Do you value the camaraderie, care, and connection that is an important part of a team? Do you thrive off of independent work? Do you strive to learn, grow, and provide one of a kind clinical work? Do you describe yourself as a fun, chill, and engaged human? Do you think of yourself as a creative person who has lots of ideas to contribute to clients, new services, communities, and clinicians? Are you licensed / provisionally licensed Psychological Associate or Psychologist?
If you are vibing with this - then we know you should be part of our team!
Our Culture
- We start from a place of cultural humility. We know it is not enough to say culture is important to each of us, we must show it in our actions. Practicing from a place of cultural humility and evolving as anti-racist clinicians, we engage in ongoing monthly dialogues regarding social and cultural topics and concerns as they relate to our world, community, clinicians, and clients.
- Therapy isn’t therapy without you! Your uniqueness…identity, experiences, and passions is what makes you the clinician you are. We want to amplify you! We want you to bring it to the practice and to the work you do with clients.
- If you aren’t having fun, what is the point? Joy is not only the key to a life well-lived, it is a prerequisite for the flourishing of any relationship. Your passions, interests, and personal goals are put at the center of your time with BLCC. Let’s make sure your joy for becoming a therapist shines through!
- A clinical practice is only as impressive as its team of therapists. The strength of our practice is based on the team of professionals who are set on exceptional clinical care, meaningful clinical support, and committed self-improvement. We are stronger together…as people, as therapists, and as communities.
- We believe that continued growth, reflection, and education are important throughout the course of a clinician's career, whether you are newly licensed or have been practicing for 10 years. With an emphasis on consultation and personal development, we make space for clinicians to grow their skills and share them in a friendly, nonjudgmental environment.
What We Give
- Generous compensation (and a bunch of other benefits!). Your hard work will never go unnoticed! You can expect to be paid fairly for your time, energy, and expertise. Also, as a W2 employee - we pay a portion of your taxes!
- Part Time Clinicians (Compensation rates based on experience and licensure): Providing approximately 15 sessions per week can expect to earn between $ 47,000 to $ 56,000 per year (with potential for more!)
- Full Time Clinicians (Compensation rates based on experience and licensure): Providing approximately 25 sessions per week can expect to earn between $ 67,000 to $ 92,000 per year (with potential for more!).
- Clinical Supervision provided for: Licensed Psychological Associate, Provisionally Licensed Psychologist
- Clients need your time, not administrative tasks. We take the stress out of private practice by maintaining the day-to-day business administration, so you don’t have to.
- A nourishing culture. Friendly communication, flexible schedules, appreciation, recognition, (non-mandatory!) social time as a practice, and clinical support from practice administration and colleagues.
- A strong clinical team. Being a therapist is hard work, so having a circle of colleagues there for you when you feel stuck with a client, or need a fun meme to get you through the day, is the key to sustainability. We got you!
- Individual and Group Case Consultation: Practicing in isolation is lonely - what happens when you have a question? Need support or someone to bounce ideas off of? Our group case consultation is a dedicated time and space for clinicians to present cases and request/receive guidance, identify and explore unconscious biases, receive/provide support, and learn from one another. Individual case consultation is another space to receive support, collaborate on difficult cases, refine clinical skills, and discuss various aspects of clinical practice and documentation.
- Cultural Competency Group: Doing good therapeutic work requires us to be open-minded. We engage in regular, deep reflection as a group to unpack the way systems and identity show up in our work with clients. Our monthly cultural competency group offers us content to learn and time to dialog with each other, sharpening our understanding of the impact social systems have on ourselves as clinicians, our communities, our work with clients, and relationships with each other. Through our group meetings, we seek to sustain our cultural humility, cultural competence, and to continue to evolve as anti-racist clinicians.

Get to Know Us a Little Better
Bright Light Counseling Center is a growing, dynamic, and clinician focused group private practice with locations in both Chicago, IL and Austin, TX. We provide services throughout Illinois, Texas - and other locations that our clinicians have licensure/approval to practice - such as Indiana and Florida.
As you may be able to tell, we are a practice focused on connection, support, empowerment, fun, and collaboration. We are looking for therapists who can see themselves laughing, sending gifs and memes, and sharing who they are and what they are all about with the team (throw in some competition with virtual Scattergories or creative clues in Codenames!) while also reaching out and asking for help and offering support to colleagues.
We know the challenges of balancing our capacity with the needs of our clients. We want you to focus on providing clinical care, finding balance in your work and personal life, and growing as a clinician. You should have the space to put your energy into client care. We are here to support your clinical growth and to take administrative burdens on, so you can spend your time and energy where it matters most…on your clients and your self-care.
