Description

Ready to practice therapy differently?

If you are tired of sterile clinics that you feel undervalued, it’s time for a change. Imagine stepping into a beautifully appointed, professional office space where your personal growth is prioritized, your contributions are celebrated, and you have access to cutting‑edge tools to make a profound impact every day.

At Alternative Wellness Services (AWS), we're not just an agency; we're a forward‑thinking community. Whether you are a recent graduate looking for a highly supportive launchpad, or a seasoned clinician seeking a refreshing, balanced environment, you have found your clinical home.

As an Outpatient Therapist at AWS, you'll be a catalyst for change. We believe that combining traditional talk therapy with alternative, somatic modalities helps clients achieve faster, sustainable results without depending solely on psychotropics.

Within our thoughtfully designed Biddeford Wellness Center, you will cultivate an inviting space for clients from a wide variety of socio‑economic backgrounds. You will have the unique opportunity to seamlessly integrate advanced wellness technologies into your clients' care plans, including:

• 360-Degree Trifecta Pro Wellness Chamber (Red Light): Improves mood, sleep, and reduces inflammation, pain, symptoms of depression and SAD.
• Alpha-Stim: Utilizes CES to safely treat anxiety, insomnia, depression, and manage pain.
• BrainTap: Uses audio/light frequencies to guide clients into deep, stress‑relieving meditative states.
• Cold Plunges: Triggers a massive release of endorphins/dopamine—especially powerful for clients in early recovery.
• Infrared Saunas: Lowers cortisol levels and promotes restorative sleep and cellular detoxification.

Why Choose AWS? Because We Invest in Your Future.

We know that to take care of your clients, you need to be taken care of first. We empower our clinicians with:

• True Work‑Life Balance: Maintain a manageable 65% direct service ratio, averaging just 26 client sessions per week.
• Hybrid & Flexible Scheduling: Work a traditional 5-day week, choose a compressed schedule (e.g., four 10-hour days), or utilize hybrid options if your referrals and caseload align!
• Build Your Own Practice: We don't just give you a caseload; we give you the opportunity to create your own pipeline for referrals. Earning your full clinical license? We have built‑in opportunities for you to seamlessly transition into a private practice model with us.
• A Connected, Supportive Culture: Say goodbye to isolation. Experience genuine collaboration through weekly group and individual supervision (perfect for conditionally licensed grads!), monthly open‑door meetings, and fun agency outings.
• Epic Recognition: Picture yourself as our next Employee of the Year, rewarded with an extra week of PTO and an all‑expenses‑paid vacation to Florida!

Comprehensive Benefits (Full‑Time):

• Access our cutting edge technology for yourself at a reduced rate to help promote your own wellness
• FREE Health Insurance Option!
• Dental and Vision Insurance
• Generous Paid Holidays and Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Company‑Paid Short‑Term/Long‑Term Disability, and Life Insurance

What You Bring to the Team:

• Required Licensure: You must hold an active Maine license as an LMSW-CC, LCSW, LCPC, or LCPC‑conditional. (New grads strongly encouraged to apply!)
