Pre-Licensed Therapist (LMSW or MHC-LP)

Job Description

Job Description

You didn’t go through grad school to scramble for clients, fight for supervision hours, or wonder if your employer actually cares about your growth. You want a clinical home. That’s what we’re offering.

About Long Island Behavioral Health

We’ve been serving Long Island since 2000, and we’re proud of the practice we’ve built. Our founder, David Morgan, LCSW, has over 25 years of clinical experience. Our team includes licensed clinicians trained in CBT, EMDR, and Play Therapy, and we work with children, adolescents, and adults across anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and anger management.

Our office in Stony Brook is a real clinical environment; warm, professional, and designed to help both clients and clinicians do their best work. Oh, and we have two therapy dogs, Finley and Smurf, who are basically co-therapists at this point. 

What You’ll Actually Get Here

We know every job listing says “supportive environment.” Here’s what that actually means at LIBH:

• Real supervision. Not a checkbox. Individual and group clinical supervision provided by experienced LCSWs — fully covered by the practice, not billed to you. You’ll work with clinicians who have actually been in the trenches and take your development seriously.
• A built caseload. No cold calling. No marketing yourself. We handle intake through our dedicated Intake Coordinator, and you’ll start seeing clients right away.
• Specialized training that sets you apart. You’ll receive access to our proprietary anger management curriculum and training, developed over more than a decade and used across Long Island. Most practices can’t offer this.
• Experience across the lifespan. Work with individuals and families — children, teens, and adults. Exposure to CBT, EMDR, and Play Therapy, depending on your interests and clinical direction.
• A real team. Not just people sharing a building. We communicate openly, we keep admin stress low, and we actually enjoy working together. Great Pandora playlists are included at no extra charge. 
• Competitive pay and work-life balance. $40–$46/hr W-2 position with flexible scheduling, paid time off, and no pressure to burn yourself out.

What You’ll Do

• Carry a caseload of individual therapy clients (children, teens, and/or adults, based on your strengths and interests)
• Participate in individual and group clinical supervision weekly
• Complete thorough, timely documentation in our EHR system (we’ll show you our systems)
• Collaborate with teammates on clinical questions and complex cases
• Bring your clinical curiosity and commitment to ongoing learning

What We’re Looking For

• LMSW or MHC-LP in New York State (required)
• At least 1 year of post-Masters clinical experience in mental health
• Experience working with children and/or adolescents (preferred)
• Strong diagnostic skills under supervision
• Available for at least 15 client sessions per week
• Available at least one weekend day and/or weekday evenings
• Someone who takes documentation seriously and understands why it matters clinically
• A team player who values real supervision, not just the hours

Who This Probably Isn’t For

We’d rather be honest now than waste your time or ours:

• If you want a strictly remote, fully independent arrangement with no team interaction
• If supervision feels like a formality you just want to clock and move on from
• If you’re looking for a high-volume, session-churning model over clinical quality

How to Apply

We’re not interested in generic applications. Two of the most important qualities for this role are being organized and detail-oriented — so prove it in how you apply.

2. Send an email with the subject line: "Ready to grow with LIBH"
