Ever Wonder What It’s Like to Work Somewhere That Truly Supports You, Both as a Person and a Professional?
At Life Counseling Institute, we’ve been redefining therapy since 2013. We’re a longstanding practice where therapists don’t just get support in their work—we’re all about nurturing your personal growth and your professional development. Forget about chasing clients or getting buried in paperwork; we’ve got that covered.
If you’re looking for a practice where you can actually focus on doing great therapy while being supported every step of the way, we’re your people. And we’re on the hunt for passionate, skilled therapists to join our crew!
Why We’re Different:
- No Client Hustle: We handle the marketing and referrals—so you can do what you do best: help people.
- Real Professional Growth: Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the game for years, we provide more hands-on training and ongoing clinical support than most practices. You’ll be constantly challenged and supported to grow into the best version of yourself as a clinician.
- Mission-Driven Vibes: We believe in equity, social justice, and climate justice. As part of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of our gross revenue to environmental causes. Plus, we’re currently exploring becoming an employee-owned cooperative—so one day you may be participating in how the group runs.
What You Get:
- Competitive Pay: $65k–$95k for full-time therapists, depending on your caseload, licensure, and experience.
- Benefits That Matter: BCBS medical/dental, short-term disability, retirement with match, paid liability insurance, paid time off, and a CE stipend to keep your skills sharp.
- Work-Life Balance: Flexible schedules (evenings required), reasonable caseload expectations, and minimal burnout. Hybrid schedule is an option!
- Paperwork? No Thanks!: We handle the admin and billing--so you can focus on your clients, not forms. While clinical documentation is important, paperwork shouldn't be exhausting.
- Ongoing Learning: Access to expert-led training, case consults, supervision toward clinical licensure, and in-depth staff-led learning sessions. You’ll always be improving here.
Who We’re Looking For:
You’re warm, engaging, collaborative, and excited to learn and grow. Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned therapist, you’ll find a home here that supports your development and helps you become an even better clinician. Plus, you have a passion for social change and a genuine desire to make a difference. Bonus points if you love working with couples or children or have a serious interest in treating OCD using exposure therapy.
