Job description

Summary

We're looking for a trauma-informed therapist in Bend and Central Oregon, ideally trained in EMDR, to help clients heal from trauma, loss, and difficult experiences. You'll have the clinical support and consultation that deep work requires, and the flexibility in your schedule to take care of yourself, too. Our intake team will match you with clients seeking trauma-focused care.

• Live the Bend and Central Oregon life. You set your own goal and your hours, with a minimum of 18 sessions a week, so powder mornings, midday rides, and dog walks still fit around your caseload.
• Pay: See below.
• The Boost Program: your first three months of pay guaranteed at your caseload goal, worth up to $19,600–24,300 with a master's degree ($24,800–27,300 for psychologists).
• Locally owned since 2002. W2 employment, owners who live in Bend , and no private equity, hospital, or insurance company ownership.

Compensation (full-time, 24 clients a week)

• Associate / pre-licensed (master's): $62.80 per session, about $78,374 a year
• Licensed (master's): $70.00–78.00 per session, about $87,360–97,344 a year
• Psychologist: $79.50–87.50 per session, about $99,216–109,200 a year

Annual pay is calculated over 52 weeks and includes paid sick leave/PTO. Pay is per session and scales with the goal you set (18–30 sessions a week).

• Health insurance: Vista pays $900/month toward your premium for full-time therapists (24+ sessions a week) and, $550/month for part-time therapists (18–23)
• Paid time off: up to 80 hours a year for full-time therapists, 40 hours a year for part-time therapists; unused hours carry over. If you work 24 sessions a week, this comes to 3.3 weeks of paid time off a year.
