Teletherapist (child, family, adult):
Full-time, Part-Time (minimum of 7 sessions per week)
Are you ready to make a career move that is exciting, challenging, and rewarding? Are you interested in joining a progressive company that provides teletherapy throughout Virginia and beyond? Well, we have that opportunity if you are licensed in the state of Virginia as an LCSW, LPC, or LCP! **Those with clinical licenses in multiple states are encouraged to apply.**
If you are considering, or have tried, to have your own private practice, MySpectrum will continue to provide you with all the perks without the headaches.

MySpectrum offers outpatient counseling and coaching to children and adults, focusing on the Autism Spectrum, Substance Abuse Spectrum, MentalHealth Spectrum, and Whole Life Spectrum. We work with every person, on every spectrum and are seeking skilled Therapists throughout the state of Virginia who are interested in providing teletherapy to our clients. If you don't specialize in any one area, but find yourself to be an out-of-the-box thinker and relationship-driven Therapist who can engage clients virtually, this may be the fit you are looking for. We are seeking a diverse group of Therapists who enjoy their work, like to have fun, and are passionate about offering the most creative and innovative ways to treat clients. We want to serve clients who haven't otherwise been able to find the right fit for therapy, who don't fit the mold of other practices who have more narrow focuses, who may have barriers to getting to an office for therapy, and most of all, want to reduce the stigma associated with receiving therapy. If you have a special niche, and are wanting to find a place where you can build an established client base from your own home or office, we look forward to hearing from you. **Instead of worrying about building your own private practice, we will do that for you.** In addition to having remote locations through teletherapy, we have a home office in North Chesterfield, VA, where you can visit and obtain in-person support.
Some of the aspects of being in private practice that we will take care of for you at MySpectrum include:

Responsibilities and Duties:
Provide therapy virtually in standard 45-60 minute blocks

Desire to be a part of a growing company by offering input, thoughts, and considerations for how to best meet the needs of our clients. We all are a team and each person's input is valued; we expect those who join us to be willing to contribute to our overall growth!
Flexibility to commit to joining us now, and the drive to stick with us so that your caseload can grow

**Must be comfortable working remotely and seeing clients via telehealth
Benefits and Perks:
You can create your own hours
Work from home or from your own office
You can live anywhere in the state of Virginia
Competitive compensation based on a 60/40 split (bi-weekly pay based on sessions conducted, not on what we have collected from insurance; you receive 60% of what we bill insurance regardless of if we get paid)
