Looking to join a thriving group practice with a supportive and team-oriented culture? Do you want to help new clinicians grow and develop their clinical skills? Apply to Lincoln Park Therapy Group!

Lincoln Park Therapy Group is a boutique private practice in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Ravenswood and Wicker Park neighborhoods. We offer flexible schedules and options for in-person or teletherapy remote positions. We are looking for a part-time or full-time therapist who is interested in joining our awesome team of therapists (and if you're fully licensed and interested in supervising but don't have any experience, apply anyway - we have a great supervision training program!)

An ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, easy to connect with, adaptable, professional, and excited to join our fun, dynamic and collaborative group practice in our Lincoln Park and Lakeview offices. BIPOC, LGBTQ , and people from other marginalized communities are encouraged to apply! Requirements include being licensed in the State of Illinois.

LPTG values work-life balance and offers flexible scheduling for its therapists. Therapist will have a caseload of 12-25 completed clinical sessions per week (if a clinical supervisor: supervision client sessions). This position can be fully remote or a combination of in person work and remote work if desired.

Our ideal candidate must have experience working with individuals in 1:1 traditional sessions, have utilized clinical interventions and diagnostic skills in their current or previous work experience, and have an interest and excitement to help the next generation of therapists grow into their talents. Candidates must hold a license in the state of Illinois. LPTG serves a diverse population, including women and men of all ages, BIPOC, LGBTQ , couples, and teens. Our ideal candidate is experienced in working with adults, and may also have additional expertise working with a specific demographic or modality (but not necessary).

Candidates who are independent, driven, collaborative, organized, detail oriented, and able to enhance our positive-minded group of clinicians will be most successful at LPTG. We value connection and collaboration, and host team get-togethers to build community in our practice. However, LPTG is sensitive to the needs and comfort of its clinicians and these get-together are optional and are not required.

We provide:

• Steady stream of clients to build and maintain a full caseload (seeing 25 clients per week)
• Competitive compensation commensurate with level of experience
• This position is a hybrid of in person work and remote work (if desired) and for the right candidate, more permanent remote work may be considered.
• A flexible Monday-Friday schedule and does not require weekend availability (aside from client emergencies for your caseload and to support supervisees if you provide supervision)
• A medical biller to coordinate benefits/eligibility, collect payment, submit claims and communicate this information to clients
• An intake coordinator who answers calls and schedules intake appointments so you can focus on your clients.
• A Practice Coordinator to support you and the day to day operations of the practice.

• Caseloads will start part time, with the growth into full-time quickly if fill-time is desired
• Minimum 1 year experience counseling
• Prior private practice experience is a plus but not required
• The expectation is that you’d immediately be able to block out a minimum of 12-14 hours per week for at least two shifts at Lincoln Park Therapy Group
