 Compensation & Hours:

Base Pay Rate: $20 an hour for Administrative Responsibilities: i.e. Supervision, approved training, and administrative-related commitments such as session notes and approved networking etc.

You will also be compensated at a rate of 30-50% of the fees collected each month for “face to face” direct clients’ therapy sessions as follows:

1. $1 to $1000 total fees collected: Employee earns 30%

2. $1000 to $2000 total fees collected: Employee earns 40%

3. $2000 to $3000 and above total fees collected: Employee earns 50%

Additional compensation and/or assistance for advertising, liability insurance, professional associations, communication and technology expenses and professional development will be included above and beyond the Base Pay and the percentage of fees in a monthly stipend . (Details and descriptions will be provided to candidates in the application process. Additional arrangements may be included upon approval).

Note: Associates’ client session rate TBD collaboratively with supervisor and will be based on experience, education, and areas of focus and/or specialization (Minimum client fee of $110 per hour)

Supervision:

You will receive 1 unit of supervision per week, with an additional units provided If you go over 10 client hours or more (Supervision based on BBS guidelines).

Schedule:

You are welcome (and encouraged) to set your own hours for meeting with clients. Your availability will need to be discussed and approved in advance to ensure smooth operations for both you and the practice. Availability for Supervision will be required (schedule TBD).

Client Load:

I do not require (or support) unrealistic caseload expectations on Associates. Each associate is an individual with unique life circumstances that I believe should be taken into consideration. The only “quota” expected is working to ensure a consistent minimum of 5 clients per week. The maximum will depend on each Associates skill level, experience, preference, etc. TBD and approved with supervisor in advance

(In other words, if an associate wants to cary 30 clients a week, I am not going to immediately say no, but we will have a serious conversation first 😉).

I’m interested! What Next?
