Job description

Join the first 100% Employee-owned group practice in Illinois!

Midwest Counseling is excited to share that we are looking for licensed therapists who want to work in Oak Brook, IL, Northbrook, IL, or downtown Chicago. Open to both part-time and full-time applicants.

At Midwest Counseling & Diagnostics, we believe the future of mental healthcare belongs to clinicians. As Illinois' first 100% employee-owned mental health group practice, every therapist has the opportunity to become an owner in the organization they help build.

Unlike private equity-backed practices, where profits benefit outside investors, our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) ensures that Midwest’s success is shared with the clinicians and staff who make it possible. After one year of full-time employment, eligible employees begin participating in our ESOP, building meaningful retirement wealth through company ownership at no cost to the employee.

We believe investing in our clinicians leads to better care for our clients. If you're looking for more than just a job and want to build your career in a practice where your voice matters and your work contributes to your own future, we'd love to meet you.

Position Overview

We are seeking a full-time licensed therapist (LCSW, LCPC, PhD, PsyD) to join our team in either our Downtown Chicago or Northbrook, Illinois location. We are also for clinicians who would like to work out of Oak Brook, Illinois. Full-time therapist is defined by approximately 25 clinical hours per week.

Therapists enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid schedule while maintaining a strong in-person presence. Candidates must be willing to provide in-office services at least one-two days per week.

Preferred Clinical Specialties

We are especially interested in clinicians with experience or advanced training in one or more of the following:

• Children, adolescents, and families
• Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT)
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Couples therapy
• Spanish-speaking

What We Offer

Employee Ownership

• Become an ESOP participant after one calendar year of eligible employment
• Build long-term retirement wealth through employee ownership
• Competitive fee split
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance with employer contribution
• Paid time off and paid sick leave
• Continuing education stipend
• Clinical consultation opportunities 4 days per week
• Administrative and billing support
• Marketing and referral development
• User-friendly electronic health record
• Flexible scheduling with hybrid work options
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary team culture

Why Midwest Counseling & Diagnostics?
