Full-Time W-2 | Hybrid | Springfield, VA
Expected Annual Compensation: $85,000–$90,000

STIW is seeking an experienced Clinical Lead who genuinely enjoys teaching, developing clinicians, and creating a strong clinical culture.

This position combines a reduced caseload of approximately 15 completed client sessions per week with clinical supervision and oversight of Supervisees

This Role Is for You If...

• You are passionate about teaching and developing clinicians.

• You're an experienced supervisor who can assess what a clinician needs and adjust your approach accordingly.

• You're naturally curious and use thoughtful questions to strengthen clinical reasoning and self-awareness.

• You're direct and supportive, providing corrective feedback while leaving clinicians clear about expectations and next steps.

• You value structure, accountability, workflows, and follow-through.

• You know how to balance teaching, consultation, reflection, and clinician autonomy.

• You're collaborative and want to help build a positive, growth-oriented clinical culture.

• You have strong documentation and treatment-planning skills and understand medical necessity in an insurance-based practice.

• You exercise sound judgment and know what you can handle independently and what needs to be escalated.

• You're newly licensed or relatively new to clinical supervision.

• You're looking for your first opportunity to learn how to supervise.

• You're primarily attracted to the compensation or reduced caseload.

• You avoid difficult conversations or struggle with direct feedback.

• You prefer working independently rather than developing and collaborating with a clinical team.

• You dislike structure, accountability, documentation standards, or established workflows.

Expected annual compensation: $85,000–$90,000, based on experience, qualifications, productivity, and fulfillment of clinical and supervisory responsibilities.

This is a W-2 position with compensation based on the role's combined clinical and supervisory responsibilities, rather than a traditional fixed salary.

Benefits include Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance, 401(k), PTO, paid holidays, and professional development support.

• Active, unrestricted Virginia LPC license.

• Meets Virginia Board of Counseling requirements to supervise Residents in Counseling.

• Minimum 3 years of post-licensure clinical experience; 4+ preferred.

• Strong understanding of medical necessity and experience working within an insurance-based outpatient practice.

• Significant experience assessing and treating trauma and attachment-related concerns.

• Ability to provide clear, direct, supportive feedback while maintaining accountability and psychological safety.
