What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mental Health Therapist position at Black Sheep Therapy?
Job Summary
Tired of the usual practice model? Ready for something that actually fits therapists who think and work differently?At the Black Sheep Therapy Collective, we’re building a home for independent, depth-oriented clinicians who value autonomy, clinical integrity, and real support.Two clear paths: Join the team as a contractor — Start at a minimum of 70% of collected fees. We handle the systems so you can focus on the work. Stay fully independent — Keep your own credentialing and simply lease office space weekly. Prefer we handle your independent credentialing for you? We will. Right now we have enough clients on our waiting list to fill two therapist caseloads. The work is here. The space is ready (it’s really nice ). The model is flexible.We’re looking for clinicians drawn to deeper work — IFS, Jungian, somatic, attachment, and related approaches — who want a collaborative environment without giving up their independence.If you’re ready to try something different, reach out. Virtual positions also available.
