Part-Time EMDR Therapist Flexible Hours + Paid Admin Time

Verge Therapy is a nationally recognized, clinician-owned practice, led by award-winning leadership and represented within the Forbes Business Council for its measurable impact on client outcomes and its commitment to building sustainable, high-performing clinical teams. Every decision about pay, schedule, and workload is made by someone who's sat in the chair, which is why you're paid for your paperwork. 12 minutes of paid admin time for every clinical hour, built into your rate, not a stipend or something you catch up on at 9pm for free. It's also why 82% of the clinicians we hired in 2025 are still with us, up from 61% in 2023.
