Outpatient Psychotherapist/Psychologist

Outpatient Child and Adult Psychotherapist / Psychologist - Everett / Mill Creek

We have an opening for a mental health therapist in our Woodinville location. We are seeking someone with experience working with youth and adults.

This position is to provide outpatient, office-based and / or virtual psychotherapy and / or psychology services to clients in our communities.

We accept most insurance plans and provide some adjusted fee scale rates to those who cannot afford the full cost of counseling.

Starting or maintaining an outpatient practice can be a challenge, especially in the midst of a pandemic. With all the demands of running a private practice business, focusing on your clinical work can feel like a luxury sometimes.

With Counseling Centers of North Puget Sound (CCNPS), you can get back to your calling and passion clinical practice. We offer some of the best parts of private practice and agency employment : Therapists get to set their own schedules and patient load but do not have to worry about overhead costs (like rent, phone, utilities, billing insurance and patients, etc).

We take care of that for you.

We don’t want to grow too much more so that we can keep the small group experience that our clinicians and staff value so much.

Our turnover rate is very low because of the staff like it here. If you are looking for a chance for personal and professional growth, as part of a strong, supportive, collegial group of seasoned professionals, this may be the place for you.

Flexibility is one of the benefits of working here. Clinicians set their own schedules and can work both in the office and remotely.

The salary is largely self-determined, based on a commission (fee-split) basis. Our commission rate for staff after the start-up period is generous.

We do not control your caseload or productivity. Instead, we reward dedication by progressively increasing the commission rate when specified service hours or revenue benchmarks are reached.

We purposely offer a higher commission rate than other groups or agencies, rather than provide health insurance. This gives the staff the freedom to choose if and which insurance plan that works for them.

We offer paid time off and selected free continuing education.

CCNPS offers the best private practice experience, with little risk. Need to take extended time off, or have to shut down your office for a pandemic?

Here, you won't have to worry about covering rent or other overhead costs. Nor do you have to submit insurance billing. We take care of all of that.

You can focus on what matters most your clinical work.

If you are new to the world of insurance-based practice, we will help you get established with insurance companies and some marketing.

Because we have group contracts with several health plans, we can get you started right away.

Job Type : We are seeking someone who is looking to grow a full-time practice with us. During the start-up period or for Associate-level licensed clinicians, the commission rate is somewhat lower.

After that, the commission is quite generous. We are happy to discuss this during your interview.
