Job Type: Part-time or Full-time
Licenses considered: LMHC, LPCC, LMSW, LCSW, LMFT, or equivalent New Mexico license
Walsh Counseling Services is a well-established outpatient counseling practice in Albuquerque. We are selectively hiring licensed therapists and social workers who want to do meaningful clinical work in a supportive, stable, and well-run group practice setting.
We are especially interested in clinicians who enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, trauma, anxiety, depression, couples, or other common outpatient therapy concerns. We are open to both independently licensed and provisionally licensed clinicians.
This can be a good fit for clinicians who want the benefits of private practice-style autonomy without having to manage billing, scheduling, marketing, credentialing, phone calls, office logistics, or administrative systems on their own.
Why clinicians like working here
Walsh Counseling Services offers a strong combination of autonomy, support, and stability. Clinicians have room to develop their own clinical style while also benefiting from steady referrals, excellent administrative support, supervision or consultation, comfortable office space, and a collaborative team environment.
Our administrative team handles phone calls, scheduling support, billing support, client communication, and many of the day-to-day details that can otherwise take clinicians away from clinical work.
We also have some of the most comfortable therapy offices in Albuquerque, with attractive professional office space, large windows, natural light, and a calm setting for outpatient therapy.
Compensation and benefits
Compensation is based on experience, licensure level, specialty, availability, reliability, and role within the practice.
Typical starting pay range:
- $50 per completed session for newer or provisionally licensed clinicians
- Up to $56 per completed session for independently licensed, experienced, or especially strong-fit clinicians
Compensation is reviewed over time and may increase based on independent licensure, clinical experience, reliability, client retention, specialty training, supervision responsibilities, leadership needs, and overall fit with the agency.
At 25 completed sessions per week, $52/session is approximately $65,000/year before benefits. At $56/session, 25 completed sessions per week is approximately $70,000/year before benefits.
