Clinical Director for a Small Psychotherapy Group Practice

Overview

At Embodied Wellness Center, we’re building a practice where therapists can do meaningful, sustainable work without burning out. We’re a woman-owned, Chicago-based integrative mental health group practice specializing in mind-body therapy. We are seeking a Clinical Director that either has strong leadership experience or is a senior clinician (with at least 2 years of post-full licensure experience) who is ready to step into a leadership role. Our ideal candidate is highly organized, administratively reliable, and committed to supporting a team of clinicians while upholding our mission of providing holistic, mind-body therapy.

Our practice is rooted in integrative, somatic approaches. We value clinicians trained in modalities such as Somatic Experiencing (SE), yoga therapy, dance/movement therapy (DMT), Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, Reiki, breathwork, or mindfulness-based practices.

This role includes a blend of leadership and clinical work, with flexibility to grow into other areas of the practice over time, including operations, program development, and overall practice growth. This is a fully remote role; however, candidates must reside in Illinois and hold an active Illinois license.

This role is a great fit for someone who:

• Has prior experience in supervisory or leadership experience, or is an experienced, fully licensed clinician (minimum 2 years post-independent licensure) interested in stepping into a leadership role and supporting the development of other therapists
• Is highly organized, detail-oriented, and administratively strong
• Enjoys mentoring and developing other clinicians while maintaining their own clinical work
• Brings strong clinical judgment and feels confident guiding others through complex cases
• Is interested in contributing to the growth and evolution of a group practice, including systems, standards, and culture
• Aligns with a mind-body, somatic approach to healing

Job Requirements

• Master’s or Doctorate in Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, or related field
• Active Illinois licensure as an LCPC, LCSW, or LMFT
• Must be physically located in Illinois
• Minimum of 2 years of clinical experience post-independent (full) licensure required
• Prior experience in a leadership, supervisory, or senior clinician role strongly preferred
• Have strong written and verbal communication skills and a warm, relational presence
