Alamo Heights Counseling Inc. is a locally owned and operated mental health establishment consisting of LPCs, LFMTs, and LCSWs serving north central San Antonio both in person AND via telehealth.

We are hoping to add 2-3 client-focused, independent, responsible counselors to our team. We welcome those who would like to join us part time, but at this time we are looking for someone willing to see 15-20 clients a week most weeks. Clinicians make their own schedules, but at this time we are especially looking for the following:

1) A clinician who wants to work MORNINGS seeing clients from 8 AM to noon (or 1) weekdays.

2) A clinician who wants to EVENINGS from 6 PM to 9 PM weekdays.

Office staff are present Monday through Friday 8 AM to 6 PM and SOME evenings, but clinicians may choose to work different hours than this as suits their schedules.

We are a predominantly insurance-based practice with an on-site credentialer and a seemingly unlimited flow of referrals. For those who are not already empaneled with insurance companies, we will complete this process for you. You do not need to worry about credentialing, advertising, or billing as we handle all of that for you. We provide a furnished and decorated office with a computer and internet access, full time staff, access to EHR, and total file maintenance. You assess and treat your clients, write treatment plans and clinical notes, and submit a monthly invoice to our biller for payment.

In addition to our health insurance and private pay clients, we do have contracts with DFPS that require all our clinicians be credentialed by Texas Medicaid and pass a background check and central registry check. We ask that clinicians newly joining the team be willing to work with clients who are referred by DFPS, especially in their first six months with us while waiting to be empaneled with all insurance companies. (DFPS-referred clients includes children in family-based cases, children in kinship care, adults who are caring for children in CPS cases, and adults who are working to be reunified with their children. Children in foster care, can only be seen once you are in Superior Health Plan.)

It is our intention to develop a long-standing professional relationship and work together for many years to come. The ideal candidate is a clinician who would like to be in private practice without the overhead of renting space, advertising, billing, and bookkeeping; a clinician who has a specialized focus but is comfortable seeing some clients with differing presenting problems and from a variety of backgrounds while building a caseload. A clinician who is willing to take specific trauma-related continuing education or who already has specialized training in treating trauma would be ideal.

The ideal candidate is one who is looking to establish a long-term, office practice; one who is a self-starter, client-oriented, able to work well with others or alone. Being able to work amiably with office staff is critical. Being willing and able to complete treatment plans, progress notes, and invoices TIMELY is a requirement.

Clinicians set their own schedules. Those who choose to work less than full time may be assigned an office to share with another clinicians.

This is a contract position with a nearly unlimited number of client referrals for the counselor who is willing to see clients with a wide variety of presenting concerns, and who would consider specializing later.

This is a contract position, not an employed position. At this time, all therapists are independent contractors and are paid as independent contractors. You must be willing to accept a contract position We do not have employee therapists at this time.

We are eager to add two or three new therapists to our team as our practice grows, therefore we will submit your credentialing information to all MCOs and insurance companies as soon as possible. You will not be permitted to serve DFPS clients until the DFPS Contract Manager has approved you.

If you are interested in being contracted, please submit your resume. You will be contacted by telephone, email, and indeed message to submit additional required documentation and schedule a telephone and/or in-person interview.
