Eating Disorder Therapist (South Barrington)

We are actively hiring for a part-time (with opportunity to grow to full-time) eating disorder therapist. This Hybrid role will be based out of our South Barrington office.

We are a small, clinician-owned practice with a strong reputation in eating-disorder treatment and a well-established referral network. Founded in 2012 by Dr. Catharine Devlin, she has spent more than a decade building relationships with therapists, physicians, treatment facilities, and other professionals who refer clients to us for specialized eating-disorder treatment.

We are looking for an Illinois-licensed therapist with at least two years of experience working with eating disorders who is firmly rooted in providing Health at Every Size® (HAES)-aligned, weight-inclusive care. The position is based at our South Barrington location with the flexibility to provide care virtually as well.

Why Birch Tree?

We’re intentionally small and we love it that way! You’ll have the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with colleagues, collaborate closely with therapists, and have your clinical voice heard.
