Mental Health Clinician (LCSW, LPC, PsyD, LMFT)

Job Description Job Description Part-Time Clinical Services | Gainesville, Virginia The Center for Attachment & Trauma Services (CATS) invites independently licensed Virginia clinicians to apply to provide part-time, in-person clinical services at our Gainesville office. This opportunity is well-suited for clinicians seeking flexibility and professional autonomy as a contractor, while joining a trauma-informed nonprofit setting with shared office space, referrals, administrative infrastructure, and a clinically thoughtful community. CATS specializes in attachment-focused and trauma-informed care for children, adolescents, adults, and families with complex relational, developmental, and emotional needs. Because many of the clients referred to CATS have histories of developmental trauma, foster care, adoption, attachment ruptures, family disruption, and high-acuity emotional or behavioral concerns, clinicians should have meaningful training, experience, and clinical interest in trauma and attachment work. Overview Clinicians typically begin with 2-4 client referrals, with the opportunity to gradually build a caseload over time. Potential for a full-time case load is possible but not required. This structure allows clinicians to maintain current employment, private practice work, or existing contracts while developing their caseload with CATS. Clinicians may: * Set their own availability in coordination with office space and client needs * Review and accept referrals based on clinical judgment, scope of practice, and availability * Maintain an independent clinical practice while providing services for CATS * Grow their caseload at a pace that supports thoughtful, sustainable clinical work Support Available CATS' nonprofit structure is designed to provide many of the supports clinicians often seek in private practice, including furnished office space, referral coordination, EHR access, billing systems, and administrative infrastructure. Because CATS is a nonprofit, this model is not designed around an individual owner or outside investor taking profit from the top. Instead, the structure is intended to support clinicians, sustain high-quality trauma-informed services, and strengthen access to care for children, families, and adults with complex needs. Available support includes: * Furnished office space in Gainesville, with limited Burke availability * EHR, billing, and administrative systems for CATS-coordinated services * Referral coordination * Optional peer consultation and connection with other trauma-informed clinicians * A mission-driven clinical environment centered on attachment, trauma recovery, and relational healing Qualifications * Active Virginia license, such as LCSW, LPC, LMFT, Psychologist, or equivalent * Professional liability insurance * Experience working with children and adolescents preferred * Training and experience in trauma-informed care, attachment-focused treatment, developmental trauma, complex family systems, or related clinical approaches * Ability to work with clients and families impacted by attachment ruptures, foster care, adoption, relational trauma, family conflict, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, or other complex clinical presentations * Commitment to ethical, clinically grounded, and relationship-centered care Professional Responsibilities Clinicians are responsible for the clinical services they provide, including documentation, treatment planning, coordination of care as appropriate, and compliance with applicable laws, ethical standards, payer requirements, and CATS documentation expectations for CATS-coordinated services. Compensation Compensation is percentage-based and tied to services provided for CATS. Most clinicians collect approximately $108-$130 per 54-60 minute session (70%) , depending on the service, payer source, and amount collected. To Inquire Please send a CV and brief statement of interest, including license type, clinical focus, trauma and attachment-related training or experience, and general availability.
