Part-Time Mental Health Clinician (Associate - AMFT, ASW or APCC)

Private practice in Chico and in Redding (Two locations, and Telehealth available) searching for a part-time Associate Marriage and Family Therapist or Associate Clinical Social Worker registered with BBS. The associate will be taking over an existing in-person caseload in Chico and the hours the associate will be working are Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri with sessions at 12:30, 1:30, & 2:30 pm. Group supervision is on Wednesdays 10-12.

Supervision is provided and paid on an hourly basis at $20 per hour for one hour of triadic and two hours of group supervision. This role requires the applicant to have finished their Master's degree in Psychology or Social Work and to have already received their associate registration number from the BBS.

We also offer extra admin pay for doing marketing tasks such as contributing to the office blog, handing out your business cards to local businesses, etc. to help supplement our associates income if a client cancels or no-shows and you have downtime that you'd rather get paid for.

In this job, the associate is responsible for providing high quality client care, conducting intake assessment, psychodiagnosis, treatment planning, therapy (individual and couples) and discharge planning.

EMDR is the backbone of Inspired Life Counseling and it is a requirement for this position that a clinician is either already trained in an EMDRIA approved Basic Training - OR - that the clinician is willing to have finished training within the first 6 months of employment. Because we understand that when someone is looking for a job, adding in the cost and time to get the training to qualify for the job, we offer a 0% interest loan with repayment taken out of the clinician's paycheck over the course of ten paychecks.

Supervision is with Jessica Wilkerson who has been providing EMDR to her own clients since 2014 and has been fully trained in EFT for couples since 2019. Group supervision with Jessica consists of other associates who are also using EMDR with clients and can provide a supportive environment for learning the modality once your training is complete.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Completes biopsychosocial intake assessments

2. Provide strength based family centered therapy

3. Conduct treatment planning

4. Creating and Maintaining schedule

5. Collaborative note taking (training provided)

6. Other duties as assigned by supervisor.

Sessions are paid on a piece rate basis which means sessions are paid at $35-45 per session depending on experience and expertise, with admin time paid at $20 per hour. Supervision is paid at the admin rate. We have admin staff who answer and make calls on your behalf, schedule and re-schedule clients, collect fees, upload intake forms, so you can spend your time seeing clients and earning a higher hourly rate. There is very little extra admin work that's not directly related to your session.

A minimum of 12 sessions scheduled is required for this role. This allows the associate to have time in their schedule for their client sessions, supervision , and time for any admin tasks that arise.

Your supervisor/owner has been in the field for almost 15 years, attends multiple summits a year to continue to hone her clinical skills so she can help teach the next generation of therapists while also providing excellence in therapy for her own caseload, and is in the program to be a CAMFT Certified Supervisor.

Not to mention: so many snacks in the breakroom and monthly lunches at local restaurants on us! When we're working hard with our clients our glucose levels get low and sessions can feel like they drag on. Inspired Life Counseling understands that for clients to get good care we need to take care of our staff.

While each therapist is assigned their own hipaa compliant email and phone number, we also have an admin staff to support our clinicians with scheduling, billing, and general admin tasks that therapists notoriously need support with so they can focus on doing the good work they spent all those years in school to learn.

We want you to stay with us! Full-time therapists (both associates & licensees) earn extra perks after they've worked here for one year:

• Four paid holidays
• $300 or $500 education stipend

Note from the owner:

I've created this business with a dream to provide a beautiful and tranquil environment for the people in our community to access care and (more importantly) for the clinicians to have a sense of serenity and peacefulness in their lives. I want them to walk into their offices and feel like this is their calling as they relax into their chairs. I want them to enjoy all the snacks and goodies in the break room because their boss realizes that all this emotional labor makes you hungry and keeping up your energy is important for good therapy and happy therapists. I want the people who work here to feel like they are compensated fairly so that the therapist earns a good income and the business can support itself and can afford to provide perks and benefits. For this reason, I also take the whole staff to lunch on the second Wednesday of the month, my treat; for us to connect on a different level beyond ships passing in the night as we walk up and down the hall with our clients between sessions.
