Job description

We are actively hiring for a part-time (with opportunity to grow to full-time) eating disorder therapist. This Hybrid role will be based out of our South Barrington office.

We are a small, clinician-owned practice with a strong reputation in eating-disorder treatment and a well-established referral network. Founded in 2012 by Dr. Catharine Devlin, she has spent more than a decade building relationships with therapists, physicians, treatment facilities, and other professionals who refer clients to us for specialized eating-disorder treatment.

We are looking for an Illinois-licensed therapist with at least two years of experience working with eating disorders who is firmly rooted in providing Health at Every Size® (HAES)-aligned, weight-inclusive care. The position is based at our South Barrington location with the flexibility to provide care virtually as well.

Why Birch Tree?

We’re intentionally small and we love it that way! You’ll have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with colleagues, collaborate closely with therapists, and have your clinical voice heard.

What We Offer

• Established referral network and consistent referrals
• A collaborative multidisciplinary team specializing in eating disorders
• Flexible hybrid schedule with in-person and telehealth options
• Consistent clinical supervision and opportunities for professional consultation
• IAEDP-approved supervision toward CEDS certification hours
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Continuing education stipend
• Full billing and administrative support
• Electronic health record and HIPAA-compliant telehealth platforms
• Marketing and professional branding support
• Access to offices and group therapy space
• Referral bonus
• A supportive practice culture grounded in HAES, body liberation, inclusivity, and intersectional feminism

Qualifications:

• Illinois Licensed Clinical Psychologist, LCPC, LMFT, or LCSW (may also accept LSW, LCP or Post-Doc, if the candidate is a good fit).
• Has at least 2 years of experience treating eating disorders
• Has a strong interest in HAES-aligned, weight-inclusive eating-disorder care
• Enjoys collaborating as part of a multidisciplinary team
• Has experience and interest in working with diverse populations, particularly LGBTQ+ and size-diverse clients
• Can work primarily evenings and/or weekends while building a caseload.

If you’re an experienced eating-disorder therapist who wants the autonomy and flexibility of private practice, the support of an established team, and the security of a practice with more than a decade of experience and strong professional referral relationships, we’d love to hear from you.
