Outpatient Psychotherapist

"Helping people get unstuck" is the singular focus of everything we do at Cardinal Counseling, and we are ready to add a full-time outpatient psychotherapist to our team.

We have a well-established referral base and are ready to continue building our team with the right clinician. Someone who is looking for a career and not just a short-term role. Someone who values being part of a thoughtful, supportive team where expectations are clear and colleagues show up for one another. We’re a group of grounded clinicians who take our work seriously and care about practicing with integrity.

We offer a compensation model that reflects our deep commitment to high-quality care - consistent, reliable income based on the clinical work you complete, independent of reimbursement timing. Get paid for the work you do while also being eligible for quarterly productivity bonuses and tenure-based raises that reward long-term growth. As a W-2 employee, you’ll have access to health insurance and retirement benefits, along with the stability that comes from being part of a thoughtfully structured practice. Our model is intentionally designed to reward consistency and excellence while protecting against burnout - so you can focus on meaningful clinical work without financial distractions.

If you’re ready to center your work on client healing and growth, and you want to be part of a steady, well-structured practice - we’d really love to meet you.

• Provide outpatient mental health services including intakes and individual, couple, family, and/or group therapy;

• Strong clinical judgment and ability to develop and implement treatment plans independently;
• Comfortable using EHR systems, email, and other technology;

• Commitment to ethical practice and adherence to Cardinal Values.

Our Cardinal Values
by Rachel Pinto, LPC-S, Founder & Owner

• Connect.

Connect with self. Connect with others. Connect the past to the present to the future. Connect the thoughts to the emotions to the body to the soul. Connect the pieces. Connect to the narrative - intrapersonal, interpersonal, familial, cultural, worldwide. Own your role, and change it if it’s not working. Look for what can be found; wait for what must be revealed. Connect with yourself.

• Advance justice.

Justice has many ingredients: humility, reason, collaboration, and action just to name a few. Personal and corporate acts that manifest justice are not always easy, but they are extremely valuable.

• Roots first, branches second.

We cultivate depth before we cultivate breadth - in ourselves, our community and our company. We will grow taller and broader, but we will never grow beyond what our roots can support.

• Do the right thing.

Fourth on the list; first in our hearts. Call upon the wisdom of the collective humanity to act in a moral and ethical fashion. Good intentions are helpful, and a well-advised and deliberate plan is even better. A person faces no dilemma that has not been faced before in history. One must only find the path.

• Share the good.

Don’t let a day go by that you don’t share something good with another human - a client, a coworker, a community member. This could be a small gift, an encouraging word, an act of service, or a listening ear. In this simple way, we will multiply the power of goodness and healing in the world around us.
