Job description

The Hallowell Todaro ADHD & Behavioral Health Center is one of the first ADHD centers in the U.S. to provide all services associated with ADHD under one roof: assessment, medication management, coaching, therapy, and educational therapy. We are using the strengths-based approach, pioneered by our co-founder, Dr. Edward Hallowell, author of Driven to Distraction and ADHD 2.0.

Our team is currently looking for fully licensed therapists, counselors, social workers, and/or psychologists with experience in assessment and diagnosing, treating children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples with ADHD and/or other mental health challenges.

This work can be done on a part-time (minimum of 10 hours) or full-time basis; hybrid in person and some remote work. The work environment is based on a combination of private practice and group practice, allowing providers to:

• Focus on client care, leaving our administrative team to handle scheduling, billing, and other non-clinical tasks;
• Set their own working hours, allowing for more autonomy of their schedules, supporting a healthy work/life balance;
• Connect and collaborate with our diverse group of clinicians in person, through coordination of care for shared clients, through case consult, and other group events;
• Access continuing education, trainings, and professional development opportunities year-round.
• Provide initial diagnostic evaluations, screenings, and assessments for new clients seeking diagnosis and ongoing services. Intakes will be done both virtually and in person in our Bellingham office.
• Listen to clients' experiences and help identify any existing mental health challenges, including underlying and co-existing conditions;
• Work with clients, and parents/guardians if necessary, to develop individualized coping strategies, set goals, and achieve better outcomes;
• Educate clients and, in some cases, their families on the nature of their challenges, the causes, the different treatment options, and relevant scientific knowledge on the subject;
• When necessary, communicate with family members, teachers, physicians and others as part of a comprehensive care plan.

Job Requirements

• MUST be licensed in the state of Washington (LMHC, LMFT, LICSW, PsyD)
• Master's degree or higher
• At least 5 years of mental health care experience
• Compassion for clients and a drive for helping others
• Able to work well individually and collaborate with others
• Dedicate a minimum of 10-20 client hours per week
• Complete a few intakes per week and the respective paperwork

Schedule & Location

• 10-20 hours per week
• Hybrid: at least 50% of therapy must be in person with clients
• Bellingham, WA 98225
• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Paid time off
• Training and professional development opportunities

This Job Is Ideal for Someone Who Is:

• Dependable: more reliable than spontaneous
• People-oriented: enjoys interacting with people and working on group projects
• Autonomous/Independent: enjoys working with little direction

Please note: We need to maintain a clear, ethical boundary between client relationships and our internal operations to ensure the integrity and impartiality of our services. Therefore, our center's policy is not to employ individuals who have a current or prior relationship with our organization as a client.
