Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC)

Build Your Caseload. Grow Your Skills. Create a Schedule That Works for You.

Hope & Healing Counseling is seeking Louisiana Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselors (PLPCs) who want to build their clinical experience, develop a consistent caseload, and grow within an established group practice.

Both full-time and part-time opportunities are available, with flexibility to offer weekday, weekend, daytime, and evening appointments.

You determine the availability you are able to consistently maintain and the number of clients you are prepared to serve. We provide the referrals, office space, billing support, scheduling assistance, clinical systems, and administrative infrastructure to support your work.

A Schedule That Fits Your Life

We recognize that clinicians have different scheduling needs, especially while working toward full licensure.

Available appointment times include:

• Weekday mornings
• Weekday afternoons
• Weekday evenings
• Saturdays
• Sundays

Clinicians may establish either a full-time or part-time caseload based on their availability and professional goals.

You do not have to be available during every time block. Instead, you establish a consistent schedule that works for you and the clients you accept.

What We Provide

At Hope & Healing Counseling, we want clinicians spending their time developing their skills and providing quality care—not trying to manage every aspect of running a practice.

We provide:

• A steady stream of client referrals
• Percentage-based compensation
• Fully furnished professional office space
• Administrative support for incoming calls and appointment scheduling
• Insurance eligibility and benefits coordination
• Medical billing and claim submission
• Streamlined intake and discharge processes
• Electronic health record system
• Secure telehealth platform
• Established clinical documentation processes and templates
• Practice policies and workflows to support consistent care
• Opportunities for professional development
• Training workshops and continuing education opportunities
• Opportunities to develop specialty areas and expand clinical skills

You do not need to build your own referral network, furnish an office, answer practice phones, verify insurance benefits, or submit your own claims.

Develop as a Clinician While Building a Caseload

Working within a group practice provides PLPCs with opportunities to strengthen skills in:

• Clinical assessment
• Diagnosis
• Treatment planning
• Case conceptualization
• Evidence-based intervention
• Clinical documentation
• Coordination of care
• Professional communication
• Ethical decision-making
• Continuity of care

Depending on your training, competence, professional interests, and supervision requirements, you may have opportunities to work with:

• Adults
• Children and adolescents
• Families
• Couples when clinically appropriate
• Anxiety and depressive disorders
• Trauma-related disorders
• Grief and loss
• Adjustment and life transitions
• Relationship and interpersonal concerns
• Other presenting concerns appropriate to your scope of practice

We strive to match referrals with clinicians based on clinical appropriateness, experience, interests, and availability.

• Is dependable and consistent with clients
• Maintains accurate and timely clinical documentation
• Values ethical practice and coordination of care
• Is comfortable learning and following established clinical and administrative processes
• Wants opportunities to develop specialty areas over time

We are looking for clinicians who want more than simply accumulating hours toward licensure. We want PLPCs who are invested in developing strong clinical judgment, professional accountability, and excellent patient care.

• Hold an active Louisiana PLPC credential
• Hold a master’s or doctoral degree in counseling or another qualifying field

• Completing progress notes, assessments, treatment plans, discharge summaries, and other required documentation accurately and on time
• Participating appropriately in clinical supervision
• Seeking supervision or consultation when clinical concerns arise
• Coordinating care with primary care providers, psychiatrists, schools, and other professionals when clinically indicated and properly authorized
• Maintaining appropriate continuity of care
• Demonstrating reliability and consistency with scheduled clients

Compensation

This is an independent contractor position compensated through a percentage split of collected revenue.

Earning potential varies based on factors including:

• Caseload size
• Number of sessions provided
• Services provided
• Insurance reimbursement rates
• Payer mix

Clinicians determine the amount of availability they are able to consistently offer and whether they prefer to develop a full-time or part-time caseload.

Full-Time or Part-Time Opportunities

Whether you are looking to establish a substantial clinical caseload or begin with a smaller number of clients while developing your skills, there is room to create a schedule that fits your current stage of professional development.

Available scheduling options include weekday, evening, and weekend hours, making this opportunity appropriate for clinicians seeking:

• A full-time clinical caseload
• A part-time clinical caseload
• Primarily daytime hours
• Primarily evening hours
• Weekend availability
• A combination of weekday, evening, and weekend appointments

Consistency is more important than following a traditional Monday-through-Friday schedule.
