School Counselor LCSW/LMHC/Psych - Manhattan

About the role

Knowledge Road is hiring licensed clinicians to work as school counseling providers on a 1099 basis in Manhattan. The position pays $65 to $75 an hour depending on your license. We hold a New York City DOE contract to provide IEP‑ and IESP‑mandated services to students who attend independent, parochial and charter schools across the borough, plus some homeschooled students. These are not DOE public school placements. How much you work is up to you: there is no minimum caseload and no exclusivity, and we do not cap the number of hours you can take on. Most cases occur during the school day in Manhattan schools, some after school, and a few on weekends; what is open varies throughout the year. We recruit year‑round and let you know what is available when you apply.
