Psychologist

A well-established private behavioral health practice in Northern Virginia providing psychotherapy and evaluation services to children, adolescents, and families. Hourly fee-for-service compensation with significant tiered quarterly bonuses at set clinical-hour thresholds, and a caseload built to your strengths rather than just what's open. One structural change makes all the difference: we're a W2 practice, not a 1099 setup. The practice pays the employer share of payroll tax, and benefits a 1099 practice legally cannot offer (malpractice coverage, retirement matching, health insurance) come with the seat. Average clinician tenure across the team is nearly seven years, several clinicians are past the eight-year mark, and one celebrates fifteen years with the practice this year. That's not an accident. Caseloads here flex as a clinician's life does, scaling back when life calls for it and ramping back up later, and the priority order gets said out loud: you and your family first, then the clients. This is an intentional group. The whole team meets weekly to brainstorm cases and think through the ones that are stuck. Referrals are curated rather than assigned: cases reach you because they fit your strengths and interests, through relationships the practice has spent years building with area pediatricians, schools, and counselors, and that includes a steady stream of psychological and psychoeducational testing referrals most group practices can't offer. The investment shows up in training too. In-house didactics, CEU support, and a Sabbatical benefit worth up to $8,000 toward advanced certification once you've built tenure here, for clinicians who want to go deeper into a specialty rather than stay generalist. Completing your postdoctoral hours? This seat works for you too. The practice provides formal clinical supervision toward Virginia licensure under a written supervision agreement, helps you track your supervised hours, and has developed residents into independently licensed clinicians who built long careers here. If your five-year plan is a solo practice of your own, or you need a strictly 9-to-3 schedule, this isn't your seat. Kids are in school during the day, so afternoon and early-evening hours are where this caseload lives. The practice hires at several levels. Independently licensed master's clinicians (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or equivalent) and MSW or MA graduates completing supervised hours toward Virginia licensure (Supervisee in Social Work, Resident in Counseling, Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy) are welcome to apply to this posting. Supervision is structured, documented, and built to carry you to independent licensure. Tell us where you are in your path when you apply. Pave Talent and our client are equal opportunity employers.
