New Hire for Pre-Clinical Licensed Therapist (PCLT) Position with KCW Psychological Services- BIPOC Focused

KCW Psychological Services (KCW PS) is a unique practice servicing clients in California, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland via telehealth therapy. We are growing and need to hire a Pre-Clinical Licensed Therapist!

This is a part-time position (up to 20 hours / week). We are looking to hire someone who is a good fit for our practice and our clients.

This is an ideal position for someone who is working elsewhere, as their caseload would build over time (average 3-6 months). This is also a great position for someone who is interested in working with BIPOC clients in a private practice setting but is not interested in performing administrative duties (e.g., billing, marketing / advertising, other practice management dutiesetc).
