What are the responsibilities and job description for the Licensed Mental Health Clinical Supervisor (LICSW, LMFT, LMHC) position at Thrive Counseling Center?
Full Job Description: Clinical Supervisor (LMFT, LICSW, or LMHC)
Location: Federal Way, WA, 98003 and Hybrid
At Thrive, supervision is more than oversight — it’s about walking alongside new therapists as they grow in skill and confidence. As a Clinical Supervisor, you’ll not only shape the next generation of providers but also deepen your own leadership, expand your influence, and be part of a team that values collaboration and care.
We know that when providers feel supported, their clients thrive. That’s why our supervisors are such a vital part of our leadership team. If you’re a licensed LMFT, LICSW, or LMHC in Washington and ready to step into a role where you can mentor the next generation of therapists while still doing the work you love, we’d love to meet you.
What You’ll Do Here
- Provide clinical supervision and mentorship to up to 6 Associate Therapists, supporting both their clinical growth and professional development.
- Carry a caseload of 18–24 clients per week — keeping your own clinical skills sharp while balancing supervision responsibilities.
- Facilitate group consultation and learning opportunities for Associates.
- Support supervises and clients from a trauma-informed perspective, fostering resilience and growth.
- Encourage multicultural counseling, LGBTQIA and neurodivergent-affirming practices, and work with families, children, teens, and couples.
- Join a collaborative leadership team that believes in balancing the needs of clients, providers, and the organization.
Who We’re Looking For
- A WA State Approved Supervisor (LMFT, LICSW, or LMHC) with at least 1 year of supervision experience.
- Candidates who are close to eligibility (2 years post-graduation and on track to complete supervisor approval) may be considered.
- A clinician with impeccable ethics, strong knowledge of HIPAA/state regs, and a collaborative spirit.
- Supervisor/providers with experience working with kids, teens, families, couples/relationships, or LGBTQIA affirming counseling are especially encouraged to apply.
- Someone who thrives in both direct client care and mentorship.
Schedule & Flexibility
- Standard schedule begins as 11:00 am – 7:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
- Option to shift one day to a weekend schedule, with flexible full-day hours.
- This is a hybrid position with both in-office and tele-health work. Specific in-office days will be discussed during the interview process.
- We support work/life balance and flexibility within the needs of the team and clients.
Compensation & Pay Transparency
We believe in being clear and upfront about pay. The salary range for an approved supervisor is $75,000–$85,000 annually, based on caseload and supervisory responsibilities. Candidates who are not yet fully approved supervisors may be offered compensation that reflects their current status.
