LMSW or MHC-LP Outpatient Private Practice Therapist

Location & Practice Overview

This outpatient psychotherapy role sits within a psychiatrist-owned private practice that delivers care primarily through telehealth, with an optional hybrid component tied to a New York City office near Bryant Park. Although the listing references Philadelphia, clinicians must hold New York State eligibility and maintain primary residence in one of the approved states that include Pennsylvania.

Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive intake evaluations that capture presenting concerns, symptoms, behavioral patterns, and treatment needs.
• Develop and revise individualized, patient-centered treatment plans based on clinical progress and evolving goals.
• Deliver ongoing outpatient psychotherapy using evidence-based modalities matched to patient presentation.
• Provide telehealth counseling while maintaining therapeutic alliance and continuity of care across virtual sessions.
• Complete timely, accurate clinical documentation and manage a consistent patient-care schedule that meets practice productivity standards.
• Participate in weekly individual supervision, group case consultation, and multidisciplinary collaboration with psychiatric colleagues.

The role centers on building sustained therapeutic relationships within a structured outpatient framework that includes regular supervisory support and administrative backing so clinicians can focus on direct care.

Qualifications & Requirements

This position is structured for early-career clinicians working under New York associate-level or limited-permit pathways rather than independent licensure.

Compensation & Benefits

Base pay is set within a defined annual range determined by experience, credentials, and location factors. Performance-based quarterly bonuses are available, and a full benefits package supports both clinical work and personal well-being.

• Base salary $60,000–$74,000 annually
• Quarterly performance bonuses up to $1,000 (potential $4,000 additional per year)
• Three weeks front-loaded PTO (increases with tenure), seven paid holidays, and annual office closure December 25–January 1
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance; HSA, FSA, and Dependent Care Account options where applicable
• 401(k) with employer match, annual CE stipend, flexible benefit reimbursement, and paid Impact Days
• Employee Assistance Program, wellness resources, bereavement leave (including pet), and referral bonuses
