What You’ll Do:

• Provide high‑quality individual therapy to a diverse client population, using evidence‑based modalities tailored to each client’s needs.
• Conduct thorough intake assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and adjust care as clients progress.
• Maintain a consistent caseload with strong retention, booking clients 3‑4 weeks in advance to support continuity of care.
• Complete timely, compliant documentation, including session notes, treatment plans, and insurance paperwork by end of day.
• Collaborate with colleagues, care coordinators, and referring providers to deliver integrated, whole‑person care.
• Deliver services via telehealth and/or in‑office, maintaining a private and professional environment in either setting.
• Communicate proactively with clients about scheduling, policies, and treatment expectations.
• Participate in team meetings, clinical trainings, and ongoing professional development.
• Stay current with clinical best practices, ethical standards, and licensure requirements.
• Contribute to a collaborative culture that prioritizes clinical excellence and sustainable clinician wellbeing.

What Success Looks Like:

• Consistently meeting or exceeding baseline encounters per pay period while maintaining clinical quality and a sustainable workload.
• High‑quality psychiatric evaluations and medication management that reflect evidence‑based practice and measurable client progress.
• Same‑day documentation that meets SonderMind, HIPAA, and payer compliance standards.
• 85%+ client retention with schedules booked 3‑4 weeks in advance.
• Strong collaboration with therapists, care coordinators, and referring providers to support integrated, whole‑person care.
• Proactive medication monitoring and timely treatment plan adjustments that drive positive clinical outcomes.
• Effective use of InSync and SonderMind's clinical tools to manage caseload and streamline care delivery.
• Earning productivity incentives through consistent, high‑quality clinical performance.
• Active contribution to team meetings, clinical collaboration, and ongoing professional development.

Who You Are:

• Active and unrestricted licensure as LMFT, LCSW, or LPCC in good standing.
• Demonstrated experience providing individual therapy services in an outpatient or similar setting.
• Experience working with electronic health record (EHR) systems and maintaining accurate clinical documentation.
• Ability to follow established SMART note documentation protocols.
• Strong time management, scheduling discipline, and organizational skills.
• Demonstrated commitment to ethical practice, confidentiality, and HIPAA compliance.
• Ability to manage an independent caseload while maintaining responsiveness and reliability for clients.

Compensation for this role includes a guaranteed base salary starting at $75,000 up to $140,000 per year, plus productivity‑based incentives, designed to provide both stability and earning upside.
