Full-Time Clinician 
​
Friendly City Psychology is searching for a full-time licensed master’s level clinician to join our thriving group practice in Harrisonburg, VA. This role primarily involves conducting initial diagnostic intakes and providing individual counseling sessions. Additional professional opportunities are available based on relevant professional experience and training.  
 
Minimum & Desired Qualifications  
 
Qualified applicants are licensed in Virginia as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, or Licensed Clinical Social Worker. At this time, we cannot consider residents for this position.

Generalists are always welcome to apply! However, special consideration will be given for applicants who have experience with any of the following clinical issues, treatments, or populations; eating disorders, EMDR, couples and family counseling, underserved or marginalized populations, and adolescents.   
 
We want a colleague who appreciates a good sense of humor, wants to be a part of a healthy community, loves sharing good food, and has a passion for providing high quality mental health services. We want someone who enjoys consulting and collaborating with colleagues and works well autonomously.    
 
Compensation 
 
We pay people what they are worth to do what they love. Our compensation package has a built-in minimum salary with bonuses each pay period based on the amount billed. We all contribute to the success of the practice. As far as we know, our contract is the most competitive one in the market. Compensation depends on several variables (e.g., number of sessions provided, types of services offered, reimbursement rate, etc.). However, a conservative compensation range for a licensed clinician that provides 20-25 individual counseling sessions a week and takes 4 weeks of vacation a year would be $70,000 - $92,000. It is possible to make more money and maintain a healthy work-life balance.  
 
Other Incentives 
 
The practice pays for everything you need to do your job, all business, administrative, operating, and professional expenses. We also offer health insurance, dental, and vision benefits as well as an FSA. The autonomy and flexibility this position provides is hard to find in any other system, agency, or practice. You create your own caseload, select the populations and clinical issues you want to work with, and design your own schedule. Most clinicians have a four-day work week and can optimize their schedule to work with their life outside of work.

About Us 
 
We are proud of the community we have created. We strive to make private practice healthy and sustainable. We’ve tried to accentuate the aspects that make private practice amazing and minimize what makes it challenging. You don’t need private practice experience to make a meaningful contribution to our staff. Everyone on our team brings a unique perspective and expertise. We have created a community that provides as much support, care, and resources for each other as we do for our clients. We also make time to schedule long lunches outside of the office throughout the week to support our mental health and our local restaurants! Our main goal is to create an environment where you enjoy what you do and look forward to coming to work every day.
