We're looking for a therapist to join our team full-time in January 2026! We are excited to bring on someone passionate about early childhood work and parent/family involvement. Our ideal candidate is someone who truly loves working with young children and feels equally comfortable working with parents and families. Data shows that real progress happens when families are part of the process. This is not a drop-off model-parents are involved in everything we do. This person should be comfortable conceptualizing treatment as a family process and flexible and willing to work with parents to support the best treatment outcomes. In sum, this person should see parents as allies - and integral to facilitating skill use. Furthermore, our ideal candidate embodies humor, quick wit, and a curious nature coupled with an organized, analytic mind. Responsibilities Provide individual therapy to clients, utilizing effective therapeutic techniques and interventions to address a wide range of mental health issues, such as anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, OCD, and other related conditions. Ongoing support and training provided to address any gaps in experience/knowledge. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including psychiatrists, pediatricians, social workers, and other mental health professionals, to ensure coordinated and integrated care for clients. Actively participate in professional development activities, including attending conferences, workshops and trainings, to enhance clinical skills and knowledge. Generous annual training budget provided for all employees. Attend weekly group supervision and individual supervision. Smooth transition We understand, in this field especially, leaving one job and starting another is daunting! The transition shouldn't be a barrier! Our group outpatient practice is structured to smoothly onboard new clinicians. This is a W2 position and we offer a starting salary, a stream of referrals, hybrid work options, weekly group/individual supervision, annual CE training budget, annual professional fees budget and health/dental reimbursement. Training, Education and Support We lead the pack with cutting edge treatments and our reputation, as a practice dedicated to gold standard treatments, allows us to operate at the highest level. Our clinicians are masters of all treatments that work and we are always pushing to learn more to better ourselves and our clients-no settling. During the first year tenure at the practice, employees attend weekly intensive small group training on OC spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, phobias, ADHD, family therapy, to name a few. We bring in experts/scientists, regularly, to train our entire group, as we are all lifelong learners. During the last six months we hosted training on Developing Assessment Practices to Know When it's ADHD (and When it's Not), transgender letter writing, SPACE training and Family Based Treatment for eating disorder/disordered eating treatment at an outpatient level (FBT). In addition, a hefty training budget allows employees to customize their training opportunities to build their own fingerprint as a therapist. Join our team at the Chicago CBT Center! Founded in 2010, we are one of the first and few fee-for-service group practices. This means we are not contracted with insurance companies which allows two things: 1. We design the treatment plan, not the insurance company. 2. We can see fewer clients because we get paid more per hour. We are proud to compensate at the highest level and far surpass the industry standard for W-2 and 1099 positions. Qualifications Ph.D., Psy.D., LCPC or LCSW and active Illinois license. Ideally 4-5+ years of experience working with children and families Later afternoon, early evening 1-2 days/week for first year Compensation and Benefits Pay is commensurate with experience and licensure status and number of weekly clients.

💵 Starting at $19/hour ($22.50 once RBT certified) 🎓 Paid Training & Certification 🕒 Daytime shifts (starting at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 4pm) & Saturday availability needed At North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT), we do more than provide therapy-we create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered.

You'll help kids build communication, independence, and confidence-and you'll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs. What a Day Looks Like: Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands-on, and deeply meaningful. You'll spend most of your day working 1:1 with kids (ages 2-12), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life. Here's what that actually looks like: Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed Staying flexible-every child is different, and every day brings something new It's not a desk job-it's a roll-up-your-sleeves, be-there-in-the-moment kind of role.

A people-first culture where growth is structured, wins are celebrated, and you're never alone. How You'll Grow With Us: Whether you're here to learn or build a full career, we make sure your development is intentional and supported. You'll start with paid RBT training and certification in your first month (plus a raise once you pass) and receive performance reviews and raises every 6 months. From there, your path can look like: Behavior Therapist (BT) → Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) - Certified with hands-on experience and real mentorship RBT → Clinical Fellowship Student (ACC) → Lead ACC → Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) - For BCBA students, we help with restricted and unrestricted hours, test prep, and becoming a strong, compassionate clinician. RBT → Lead RBT - For those who want to grow as leaders without pursuing credentialing as a BCBA, SLP, or OT. No matter where you're headed, we'll help you get there. Perks & Benefits: 💪 Real-time support and mentorship from experienced clinicians 📆 Flexible schedules (start times at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 3pm) that fit your life 🎉 Monthly team events, shoutouts, and a clinic culture that genuinely cares 💥 A career that makes a tangible impact on the lives of kids and families 🩺 Health, dental, and vision insurance for full-time team members You're a Great Fit If You: Have experience working with children (babysitting, coaching, camps, classrooms, etc.) Are calm, flexible, and eager to learn-even in tough moments.
