Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
BetterCare Wellness — Charlotte, NC | Full-Time W-2 Employee 

About the Role

BetterCare Wellness partners with senior living communities across the Charlotte metro area to bring on-site mental health counseling directly to older adults where they live. As a member of our clinical team, you'll focus on what you do best — providing excellent clinical care — while we handle the business side that usually eats into a clinician's time and income.

This is a full-time W-2 position with a guaranteed base salary plus an uncapped productivity bonus once your caseload grows beyond a standard threshold.

What We Take Off Your Plate

Most clinicians spend hours a week on things that have nothing to do with therapy. We remove that burden entirely, so your time goes toward clients, not paperwork:

• Patient referrals — a steady caseload delivered through our senior-community partnerships, so you're not prospecting for clients
• Credentialing — we handle enrollment and payer credentialing on your behalf
• Billing — full Medicare Part B billing support, so you're never chasing claims or reimbursement
• EHR & documentation systems — access to our platform, already set up and ready to use
• Administrative support — day-to-day logistics handled so you're not doing it solo
• Clinical consultation — ongoing access to consultation and support from our clinical team

In short: no credentialing headaches, no billing backlog, no chasing referrals. You show up, collaborate with community staff, see clients, and get paid — we run the rest. 

Compensation

• $75,000 guaranteed base salary — paid regardless of caseload fluctuations, as long as you're carrying a full clinical schedule
• Uncapped productivity bonus — once your caseload exceeds a standard threshold, you earn additional bonus pay with no ceiling; strong performers earn over $110,000/year

Most clinicians serve 1–4 senior living communities and carry a caseload of around 25–30 clients per week. 

What You'll Do

• Provide on-site individual counseling to residents in senior living communities
• Conduct mental health assessments and develop care plans
• Serve as BetterCare Wellness's primary relationship contact with community staff at your assigned site(s)
• Maintain clinical documentation using our EHR system, in compliance with Medicare Part B and ethical/licensure standards
• Collaborate with families, caregivers, and facility staff to support resident wellbeing

What We're Looking For

• Fully and independently Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina — LCMHC. This role is not suitable for provisionally licensed or associate-level clinicians.
• Strong relationship-building skills — you'll be the face of BetterCare Wellness within your communities
• Genuine interest in older adult mental health and senior living settings

Employment & Benefits

This is a full-time W-2 employee role with a guaranteed base salary and uncapped bonus potential. As a BetterCare Wellness employee, you receive:

• Employer-sponsored health insurance
• 4 weeks Paid Time Off annually
• Employer-paid payroll taxes — no self-employment tax burden
• All infrastructure listed above (referrals, credentialing, billing, EHR, admin support)

Why BetterCare Wellness

• Guaranteed base salary with uncapped upside for higher caseloads
• Employer-sponsored health insurance
• Credentialing, billing, and EHR handled so you can focus on clients
• Set your schedule across 1–4 senior living communities
• Work directly with communities you'll get to know well, not a rotating caseload of strangers
