We encourage clinicians to apply who have experience with caseloads that include a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs, from milder presentations to more complex and severe support. This opportunity is a great fit for providers seeking well-matched and motivated clients, administrative and marketing support, and easy invoicing with quick payments.

Qualifications

• Master’s or doctoral degree from a clinical track (e.g., MSW, MFT, MC, MMHC, PhD, PsyD)
• Unrestricted LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, PhD, or equivalent license (i.e., able to work independently, without supervision from a licensed supervisor) without current, past, or pending disciplinary action
• Experience and commitment to providing evidence-based treatments (e.g., ACT, CBT, CPT, DBT) and clinical best practices (e.g., measurement based care, promoting skills practice)
• Ability to provide care to children, adults, couples, and/or families with a strong preference for in-person care delivery
• Must have office space with ability to see clients in Kansas area
• Experience managing risk and responding to clinical crises, as needed
• Full-time resident of the United States
