The Mental Wellness Center

Job Description

Job Description

Salary:

Licensed Therapist (LPC/LCPC/LMFT/AMFT/LSW/LCSW)

Join a Growing Group Practice: First Responder Program Opportunity

Position Type: Full-time or Part-time

Compensation: Hourly + Paid Administrative Time

Supervision: Provided

Location: Central Illinois & Hybrid

About Our Practice

We are an established, growing group therapy practice expanding into a new location to serve our community better. As we grow, we are looking to bring on motivated, compassionate clinicians who want to be part of a supportive and collaborative environment.

Our practice is built on the belief that clinicians thrive when they are supported both clinically and operationally. Weve developed strong systems so you can focus on client care while still having opportunities for professional growth.

About the Role

We are hiring licensed clinicians to support general outpatient services as well as a specialized First Responder Program.

This role is ideal for clinicians who:

  • Want strong supervision and mentorship
  • Prefer the stability of hourly compensation (including admin time)
  • Are interested in working with or learning to support first responders (police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, etc.)
  • Value being part of a team during an exciting growth phase
  • Has experience with trauma work and stabilization

What Youll Do

  • Provide individual, couples, and/or family therapy
  • Maintain timely and accurate clinical documentation
  • Participate in supervision and team consultation
  • Support clients within general caseloads and/or the First Responder Program

You will be encouraged, but not required, to participate in marketing efforts, such as:

  • Networking or community outreach
  • Developing a clinical niche
  • Contributing to content or workshops

We support you in building your professional identity, without making it a requirement.

First Responder Program (Highlight)

We are expanding services for first responders, providing specialized, culturally competent care for:

  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Burnout and chronic stress
  • Relationship and family challenges

Clinicians with interest or experience in this population are strongly encouraged to apply. Training and support will be provided.

What We Provide

  • Hourly payplus compensation for administrative time
  • Weekly clinical supervision (group) for licensure
  • Steady referral stream to build your caseload
  • Administrative support (scheduling, billing, intake)
  • Established systems and EHR
  • Collaborative, team-oriented environment
  • Opportunity to grow with a scaling practice

Ideal Candidate

  • Provisionally licensed (LSW, LCSW, LCPC, LPC, AMFT, LMFT)
  • Interested in working with first responders (experience a plus, not required)
  • Interest in trauma-informed care is strongly preferred
  • Committed to clinical growth and ongoing learning
  • Organized, reliable, and client-centered
  • Open to feedback, supervision, and collaboration

Compensation & Growth

  • Competitive hourly compensation with paid admin time
  • Clear pathway toward full licensure and role advancement within the practice
  • Opportunities to develop specialties, including work within the First Responder Program

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a growing practice expanding into a new location
  • Receive consistent pay with admin time included (rare and highly valued)
  • Gain experience in a specialty program (first responders)
  • Grow within a practice that prioritizes support, not just productivity
  • Eligible for PTO and Retirement

How to Apply

Please submit:

  • Resume
  • Brief cover letter describing your clinical interests and populations you enjoy working with
