We are seeking a Kansas-licensed psychologist (temp or full-time) with LMLP, LMSW, or LPC credentials for a full-time private practice in a thriving small business environment. This position is ideal for a therapist with experience working with middle-aged children and younger individuals, or someone interested in this as a primary area of practice and open to learning. While play therapist certification or experience is preferred, the therapist must also approach cases from a family therapy perspective or be willing to learn to do so. We are looking for a solid, confident clinician who works well within a team model, with a preference for high-quality, new staff interested in learning our model. We promote a positive, drama-free environment and expect all new employees to share and uphold this value.

We are also interested in applications from LCPs, LSCSWs, and LCPCs. However, we are not considering part-time employment, although we are flexible for those transitioning from other jobs over six months. This is not a position for someone seeking a hobby or retirement practice, or interested in job sharing or part-time work.

We currently have 13 staff members on site in Lawrence, Kansas, including two APRNs who provide medication management for ages 5 and up. Our practice specializes in children, teens, adults, families, and college students. We offer advanced integrative treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, divorce and custody, marital, and sex therapy. We are particularly interested in therapists who have a genuine interest and skill in working with boys and young men.

This is not a private contractor arrangement. It is a dynamic, W-2 group practice based on three pillars: financial viability, ethical integrity and risk management, and clinical efficacy. You will gain from and contribute to a real team. We use a private practice commission model, offering a percentage of earned revenue. We have several packages to help you transition into your new role.

Given the population we are hiring to be served, we are looking for a therapist who can provide a fair number of hours after 3pm. The more after school times available, the faster we can build your practice.

TO APPLY: Send your resume and a COVER LETTER (too many applicants miss this requirement). We will offer in person interviews with our management team for qualified applicants. We will request clinical or academic references at that time.

Due to circumstances beyond our control having to do with slow insurance credentialing, there may be a substantial delay between the date of hiring and first work day. We will further discuss this at the interview.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $50,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

Application Question(s):
* Do you live in Douglas County or are you able to commute reliably at least four days a week including Wednesday?
* Do you have experience working with children 11 years and younger and a desire to work with this age group?
* Are you able to provide significant evening hours to accommodate school aged children?
