About the Role: True Clinical Autonomy & A Warm, Modern Space
Are you tired of the high-stress, high-quota corporate counseling world? Do you want to focus entirely on your clinical work without the administrative burnout?
At Anna Thames Counseling PLLC in Monroe, NC, we believe that the best therapists are those who are rested, supported, and empowered to practice with complete autonomy.
Our motto is simple: Show up, see your clients, and go home. We handle 100% of the administrative burden—including marketing, scheduling, insurance credentialing, billing, and claims follow-up—so you can do what you do best.
