What are the responsibilities and job description for the Licensed or Associate Mental Health Therapist / Counselor (W-2) position at Vivify Counseling and Wellness?

If you’re looking for a practice where you can focus on high-quality clinical work while being supported by a collaborative team, we’d love to connect.


Vivify Counseling and Wellness is a growing private practice seeking a compassionate therapist to join our team. We welcome both independently licensed clinicians and associate-level therapists working toward independent licensure. Supervision and mentorship are provided.


Our practice currently maintains a waiting list of motivated, self-referred adults, and new clinicians typically begin receiving referrals soon after joining. As a therapist on our team, you’ll have the opportunity to build a caseload with clients who are invested in the process while receiving strong clinical and administrative support.


We are especially interested in clinicians who have experience treating — or an interest in learning to treat — trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and/or substance use concerns. EMDR or other trauma-focused approaches are highly valued; we receive consistent referrals for this type of care.


Our goal is to support clinicians in building meaningful, sustainable careers while being part of a practice community that values collaboration, ongoing learning, and thoughtful clinical work.


We are especially excited to work with clinicians who are curious, growth-oriented, and passionate about their work with clients. Our team values collaboration, integrity, and a willingness to continue learning — both from one another and from the clients we serve.


What You’ll Receive


  • W-2 employment for stability and clear structure
  • A steady flow of motivated, self-referred clients
  • Full administrative support — marketing, scheduling, billing, and insurance processing
  • No chasing payments or managing referrals
  • Minimal paperwork requirements (AI note-taking optional)
  • Weekly consultation and collaborative case support
  • Health insurance
  • Malpractice and liability insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Continuing education stipend
  • Supervision
  • Beautiful historic office on Mainstrasse; walking distance to restaurants and shops

  • Opportunities for continued professional growth and training
  • A community of supportive colleagues with optional social activities


About the Role


  • Primarily in-person in Covington (limited telehealth)
  • Minimum of 18 client sessions per week
  • Full-time caseload (25 sessions weekly) preferred; part-time applicants will be considered
  • We are especially interested in clinicians open to building toward a full-time caseload over time
  • Freedom to practice with evidence-based modalities aligned with your training
  • Establish and maintain strong, ethical therapeutic relationships
  • Collaborate and consult as needed to support client goals
  • Maintain timely documentation in our EHR


Qualifications

  • Fully and independently licensed in Kentucky (LPCC, LCSW/LICSW, LMFT, Psychologist)
  • Associate/Dependent licenses will be considered with supervision included
  • Licensed Supervisors and/or Ph.D.-level clinicians are eligible for additional compensation
  • Experience working with adult clients preferred
