Contractors will be responsible for providing high-quality, client-centered therapy services while enjoying the independence of self-employment backed by comprehensive practice infrastructure.

This is an excellent opportunity for clinicians seeking autonomy in their practice without the overhead and administrative burden of running a solo private practice.

Compensation Structure

Compensation is structured on a fee-split basis:

  • Therapist retains 65% of all collected revenue from client sessions
  • Practice retains 35% to cover overhead, administrative support, and infrastructure costs
  • Compensation is paid on a regular disbursement schedule based on collected revenue
  • No salary, benefits, or employment taxes are provided; contractors are responsible for all self-employment tax obligations

This split reflects the robust support infrastructure provided, including furnished office space, an electronic medical records system, and dedicated administrative staff

  • Managing your own schedule and caseload in coordination with front-office staff
  • Adhering to all applicable ethical codes, licensure standards, and practice policies
  • Participating in optional peer consultation and clinical supervision as available
  • Maintaining required continuing education and licensure renewal independently

Hours & Schedule

This position offers maximum scheduling flexibility:

  • Hours are fully variable — you set your own availability
  • Daytime, evening, and weekend hours available based on contractor preference
  • Minimum caseload expectations may apply; details discussed during contracting
