Job description

Part-Time Licensed CBT Therapist (LICSW or LMHC)

Who this is for

You’re a licensed therapist (LICSW or LMHC) who practices from a CBT framework and is seeking a part-time opportunity that works well alongside an existing role in a hospital system, academic medical center, or related setting. You value structured, evidence-based work, strong clinical standards, and consultation that improves outcomes. You’re energized by the chance to keep developing specialty skills in high-impact, in-demand areas of treatment.

Catalyst Psychology is a clinician-led, evidence-based practice serving goal-oriented adolescents (16+) and adults with a primary focus on anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and insomnia/sleep concerns .

What you’ll do

• Provide individual outpatient therapy grounded in CBT and related evidence-based approaches .
• Maintain an average caseload of 6-10 client sessions/week .
• Deliver active, goal-oriented sessions (skills practice, behavioral experiments, exposure-based work when appropriate, measurement-informed progress).
• Complete documentation accurately and on time.
• Participate in CBT-focused consultation/training as part of ongoing clinical development.

Schedule flexibility

We built this role for therapists who need real flexibility while still meeting client demand:

• Part-time structure with a clear target: 6-10 sessions/week on average
• Minimum availability requirement: at least one evening per week scheduled for clients (a consistent weekly evening block)
• Hybrid, telehealth, or in-person options (Newton, MA)

Scheduling is flexible and collaborative: you set your availability, we align it with client demand, and the Clinical Director partners with you to build a consistent weekly schedule.

CBT-first, with a path to specialization

We’re explicitly looking for therapists who:

• Lead with CBT case formulation and intervention
• Want to deepen technical skill
• Are excited to specialize in two or more of our core tracks:
  • Anxiety disorders (CBT, exposure-based work)
  • OCD (ERP-informed treatment within a CBT framework)
  • ADHD (skills-based CBT, executive functioning supports)
  • Insomnia / sleep ( CBT-I and behavioral sleep intervention)

You don’t need to arrive specialized in everything. You do need to be CBT-driven and interested in building expertise.

Training & clinical support

• Structured onboarding and ramp-up support
• Ongoing CBT-focused consultation and shared tools/frameworks
• Training/mentorship focused on anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia/CBT-I (with OCD specialization opportunities as relevant)
• Clinician-run environment with strong operational support (so your energy goes into clinical work)
• Flat rate per completed clinical session (W-2)
• Guaranteed pay for your first two months, plus per-session compensation as you build your caseload.
• 401(k) with employee contribution option
• Practice provides operational infrastructure (billing/EHR/admin support)
• Malpractice coverage provided by the practice

Qualifications

• Licensed Therapist (LICSW or LMHC) in Massachusetts
• Strong CBT training and a clear commitment to CBT as a primary modality
• Interest in specializing in anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and/or insomnia
• Reliability: consistent availability, documentation follow-through, ethical practice standards
• Ability to offer at least one evening per week for clients
