Job description

Experienced Therapist? Deepen Your Work in Trauma & EMDR.

Healing through the Heart Center® is a heart centered group practice rooted in authenticity, relational healing, and evidence based care.

We are looking for a licensed therapist with at least 1 year of independent clinical experience who is ready to deepen their work with trauma, attachment, EMDR, and integrative approaches.

This is not a high volume agency environment. You will have the autonomy of private practice with the support of a connected clinical team, established systems, administrative support, and a steady flow of pre screened clients.

If you have already developed your identity as a clinician and are looking for a practice where you can grow your expertise, do meaningful work, and be supported without being micromanaged, this may be the right fit for you.

What We Offer

We Invest in Your Clinical Growth

Depending on your current training, we provide:

• 100% Covered EMDR Basic Training valued at $2,000 and including CE credits
• OR Fully Covered Advanced EMDR Training for clinicians who have already completed EMDR Basic Training
• Free EMDR Consultation Toward EMDRIA Certification with required consultation hours fully covered, a $2,250 value
• Relational EMDR Training focused on integrating the therapeutic relationship into EMDR
• Ongoing clinical supervision and consultation

Our goal is not simply to teach you another modality. We want to help experienced clinicians deepen and expand the clinical skills they already have, integrating trauma informed, relational, somatic, mindfulness, DBT, and EMDR approaches into their work.

Private Practice Freedom, With Built In Support

At Healing through the Heart Center®, clinicians have a high level of autonomy while remaining part of a connected and collaborative clinical community.

Many therapists transitioning from agency, hospital, or highly structured environments appreciate having the freedom of private practice without having to manage the business side of private practice alone.

We provide the systems, administrative support, billing infrastructure, clinical consultation, and team connection that allow you to focus your energy where it belongs: your clients and your clinical work.

To maintain strong clinical support and team connection, we provide:

• Team Meetings every other Thursday from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM
• Group Supervision weekly on Tuesdays from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM
• Individual Supervision scheduled during onboarding at a mutually convenient time
• Team Building at least monthly

We are intentional about balancing flexibility with meaningful support. You will have autonomy in structuring your week while remaining an active part of a collaborative clinical community.

What You’ll Receive

A Warm Caseload of Pre Screened Clients

We maintain a waitlist of clients who are carefully screened to support strong clinical fit and minimize therapist burnout.

Clinicians joining the practice receive support transitioning into the practice and building a sustainable caseload.

Expert Clinical Supervision

Supervision and consultation are provided by Jill Portaro, LCSW, an EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Certified Consultant, and Faculty in Training with The Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy. Jill is also DBT Intensively Trained through Behavioral Tech and a Meditation and Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance.

A Heart Centered Team Culture

We are a team of clinicians who value authenticity, integrity, warmth, collaboration, and meaningful clinical work.

We believe clinicians do their best work when they feel supported, trusted, and empowered to develop their own authentic clinical style.

Full Administrative Support

You will not be responsible for the business side of running a private practice.

We provide:

• Scheduling support
• Administrative support
• Out of network billing
• Full office services
• Weekly clinical supervision
• Streamlined systems and processes

Our goal is to remove unnecessary administrative burden so you can focus on providing exceptional care.

Competitive Compensation

Compensation starts at $55 per clinical session, with opportunities for increased compensation based on experience, advanced training, and contribution to the practice.

W2 Employment

Enjoy the autonomy of private practice while having the stability and structure of W2 employment.

Primarily In Person

This is a primarily in person role based in Colts Neck, NJ, with some flexibility for virtual sessions based on client needs and practice guidelines.

Your Role Includes

• Providing individualized, trauma informed psychotherapy
• Working independently with clients while utilizing clinical consultation and team support
• Integrating evidence based approaches that align with your clinical training and areas of expertise
• Utilizing outcome measures to monitor client progress and inform clinical care
• Maintaining a consistent caseload and weekly schedule
• Completing timely and clinically appropriate documentation
• Participating in team meetings, supervision, and consultation
• Contributing to occasional community outreach and practice initiatives

Schedule Options

Part Time

• Approximately 18 scheduled clinical hours per week
• Opportunity to build and maintain a sustainable caseload

Full Time

• Approximately 24 to 28 scheduled clinical hours per week
• Opportunity to build toward a full, sustainable caseload

Available Shifts

• Monday: 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM

• Thursday: 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM
• Friday: 10 AM to 6:30 PM
• Saturday: 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, optional

Applicants must be available to work the required number of consistent shifts for their selected position.

Shift assignments will be based on practice needs and candidate availability. Consistency in maintaining a regular weekly schedule is important to support continuity of care for clients.

Building Your Caseload

We understand that transitioning into a new practice takes time.

Clinicians joining the practice will receive a thoughtfully matched caseload of pre screened clients and support throughout the transition.

Our existing waitlist helps facilitate a steady flow of referrals while allowing clinicians to build their caseload at a sustainable pace.

The goal is to help you establish a full, balanced, and sustainable caseload, rather than simply fill your calendar.

• Are a licensed therapist, LCSW, LPC, or LMFT, with at least 1 year of independent individual therapy experience
• Have a strong clinical foundation and confidence working independently with clients
• Have a strong interest or experience in trauma, attachment, EMDR, somatic therapy, DBT, mindfulness, or other evidence based approaches
• Communicate with warmth, professionalism, integrity, and clinical clarity
• Value both clinical autonomy and meaningful connection with a collaborative team
• Are thoughtful and intentional about your clinical work
• Are committed to continued professional development and clinical growth
• Are dependable and able to maintain a consistent weekly schedule
• Appreciate having administrative, billing, scheduling, and clinical support so you can focus your energy on your clients
• Are looking for a practice where you can build on your existing clinical experience rather than start from the ground up

Clinicians with 2+ years of individual therapy experience and those with established experience or advanced training in trauma are especially encouraged to apply.

What Makes Healing through the Heart Center® Different

We believe therapy should be both clinically effective and deeply human.

Our clinicians are encouraged to bring their authentic selves into their work while continuing to develop their expertise.

We integrate approaches including EMDR, DBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, meditation, and relational approaches to help clients create meaningful and lasting change.

You will have the freedom to develop your own clinical style while being part of a team that values connection, clinical excellence, integrity, and heart.

You already know how to be a therapist. We provide the support, systems, community, and opportunities for growth that allow you to focus on becoming an even stronger one.

If you’re ready to deepen your clinical work and join a practice that values both autonomy and connection, we’d love to hear from you.
