Job description

Build a flexible private-practice caseload without leaving your school-based career. Psych Associates is seeking a part-time licensed therapist to provide outpatient counseling during evenings and Saturdays. This opportunity may be especially well suited for a school counselor who wants to expand into private-practice work while maintaining a school position.

We are an established private-pay behavioral health practice serving children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in the Springfield area. We provide a strong referral stream, furnished office space, administrative support, scheduling assistance, billing, and practice infrastructure so clinicians can focus on excellent clinical care.

Evening and Saturday appointments are among our highest-demand referral times. The clinician joining our practice can develop a consistent supplemental caseload based on personal availability and practice demand. A school counselor could maintain a regular school schedule while seeing patients on selected evenings, Saturdays, school breaks, and during the summer.

Responsibilities include:

• Provide evidence-informed outpatient psychotherapy
• Develop individualized treatment plans and review patient progress
• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
• Coordinate care with families, schools, physicians, and other professionals when clinically appropriate and properly authorized
• Manage safety concerns and mandated-reporting responsibilities appropriately
• Maintain professional and ethical boundaries
• Offer a dependable schedule that includes evenings and/or Saturdays

This is an on-site position at our Springfield office.

• Dependability and consistent availability
• Ability to complete documentation accurately and promptly
• Interest in developing and maintaining a part-time caseload
• Ability to provide in-person services at our Springfield office

• Familiarity with school-related, behavioral, developmental, or family concerns
