Compensation

This is a W‑2 straight‑commission position, not salaried. Clinicians earn a commission percentage of collected insurance and client payments for completed services, an industry‑standard outpatient private‑practice model. Compensation covers session preparation, client sessions, scheduling, documentation, and required meetings. Unlike a 1099 arrangement, the W‑2 model includes employee benefits, employer‑paid payroll taxes, and employment protections. The expected annual earnings range is $65,000.00 – $93,000.00.

Schedule

Full‑time clinicians must average at least 25 direct client‑facing hours per week and initially offer approximately 35 scheduling hours per week to support caseload growth and account for cancellations. At least one evening shift is required; additional evening or weekend availability is especially valuable when serving children, adolescents, and families. Flexible work‑from‑home options are available.
