What are the responsibilities and job description for the Clinical Therapist position at Meristem Therapy Services?
Clinical Therapist | Meristem Therapy Services | Athens, GA
At Meristem Therapy Services, our mission is to set the standard for authentic, compassionate, and trauma-centered mental health and harm reduction psychotherapy. We meet people where they are in their change process and respect how they want to move forward.
We're hiring a full-time clinical therapist to join our team in Athens, Georgia.
What we believe
Our work is shaped by six values: authenticity, connection, meaning, respect, embracing both/and, and flourishing. They guide how we sit with clients, how we work with each other, and how we hire. Practically, this shows up in how we practice:
- Trauma-centered, harm-reduction, and relationally-focused
- Both/and thinking instead of either/or
- Self-determination as central to client growth
- Self-care and sustainability treated as essential to good clinical work, not as afterthoughts
Who we're looking for
You hold an active Georgia license (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PhD, PsyD) and bring at least three years of clinical experience with adolescents, emerging adults, and adults. You work with limited supervision but value collegial consultation. You're interested in leading or co-leading group therapy and ideally bring a niche or area of focus.
You're energized by collaboration, take direct feedback well, and see your work as part of something larger than caseload mechanics.
The position
- W2, fee-for-service commission model starting at 60% of collected fees, with adjustments possible at full-time status
- Estimated annual earnings at full caseload (23 hours/week): $65,000 to $72,000, with higher earnings available for clinicians who want a larger caseload. Caseload typically builds over the first months.
- 23 clinical hours per week minimum (averaged quarterly), with 28 hours of scheduled availability
- One evening per week (until 7pm) or one 4-hour weekend block
- Primarily in-person, with telehealth where clinically appropriate
- Furnished office, shared group space, and weekly onsite clinical consultation
- Billing, credentialing, malpractice insurance, EHR, and advertising covered by the practice
- CE and licensing reimbursement available
- No on-call expectations
- Built-in referrals
