Full-time Licensed Associate Psychotherapist — Trauma & Eating Disorders

The Smith Counseling Group, LLC | Chevy Chase, MD (serving Washington, DC & Maryland)

About Us

The Smith Counseling Group is a multi-disciplinary private practice serving clients across the Washington, DC and Maryland area, with a clinical focus on trauma and eating disorders. We're looking for a licensed clinician to join our team as we grow this specialty area — someone who wants to build deep expertise in eating disorder treatment while being part of a supportive, clinically rigorous practice.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a therapist who is:

• Clinically strong — solid foundational skills and good judgment, with a genuine interest in doing excellent work with clients
• Mature and responsible — reliable, professional, and able to manage a caseload independently once ramped up
• Hard-working and coachable— willing to put in the effort to learn a new specialty, and open to supervision and feedback
• Drawn to the structure of a clinic setting — you may be earlier in your career, or transitioning from a different setting, and are looking for the stability, mentorship, and built-in referral base of an established practice rather than solo private practice

**No prior eating disorder treatment experience required.** We're specifically looking for someone excited to develop this specialty — training and supervision will be provided (see below).

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and managing a full‑time outpatient caseload focused on eating disorders and trauma
• Participating in regular clinical supervision as you develop ED‑specific competencies
• Collaborating with referring providers (dietitians, physicians, higher levels of care) as part of a coordinated treatment approach

Training & Development

New to eating disorder treatment? We'll support your growth through:

• Six months of dedicated, biweekly clinical supervision focused specifically on eating disorder treatment
• A continuing education budget to support one ED‑focused training of your choice -Certification in eating disorder treatment and EMDR

Qualifications

• Master's degree in counseling (MA) or social work (MSW), or PhD in psychology
• Active, unrestricted license to practice independently in Maryland (e.g., LCSW-C, LCPC, or licensed psychologist)

What We Offer

• 50% fee‑split compensation (1099 contractor position) with income up to $200K+
• Full‑time caseload (30+ client hours per week), with a 3-6 month ramp‑up period to reach full caseload
