Full-Time Licensed Therapist

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 who are independent, driven, collaborative, organized, detail oriented, and able to enhance our positive-minded group of clinicians will be most successful at LPTG.
