If you’re passionate about being a therapist but hate dealing with insurance, marketing, and administrative issues, this may be a great opportunity for you! Silver River Counseling of Ocala provides a steady flow of referrals, billing and administrative support, as well as superior compensation, allowing our therapists to concentrate on doing what they love.
If you are a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW ), or a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT ), Silver River Counseling is looking for a highly motivated individual who shares our philosophy that the health of a community flows from the strength and vitality of its family relationships, and that counseling is the best way to restore and protect lasting family connections.
However you define family, our growing practice offers services to children, adolescents, and adults striving to live their best lives. Whether individual counseling for anxiety disorders and depression, trauma and abuse, behavioral issues at school or home, eating disorders, parent-child relationship stress, couple’s counseling for relationship distress/separation/divorce/grief and loss issues, or family therapy to improve everyone’s connections with one another, Silver River Counseling serves families.
We understand that many therapists struggle to find a place to work where they don’t feel like a cog in a machine…Where they’re EXPECTED to see 30 clients a week…Where the effects of burnout and isolation are constant…Where they once had a vision of creating a healing and therapeutic space with their clients, now it just feels like a job. Worst of all, the general lack of respect for our education, training & experience often leaves many talented young clinicians with the choice between dependence on inconsistent and maddeningly poor reimbursement rates from the insurance industry, (assuming they can even get on the panels), or leaving the profession and the dream of being a healer behind in search of something that can generate more income.
At Silver River Counseling we not only provide a space for clients to find healing, but also a place where our clinicians can work in a team environment, get paid well, and foster professional and personal growth.
So who are we really looking for? Requirements:
● Must be fully licensed in Florida as a LMHC, LCSW, or MFT.
● Master's Degree in Mental Health field
● Experience as LMHC/LCSW, or MFT
● 3+ years of relevant clinical experience.
● Experience in Children/Adolescents and Couples is a bonus!
● Private practice experience is a plus but not required
● Certifications in Play Therapy, Traumatic Stress Studies, the Gottman Method, and/or Internal Family Systems also plus, but not required.
What we expect of our clinicians and what the day-to-day looks like :
● Your main responsibility is a commitment to excellence when counseling your clients.
Punctuality and communication is imperative. Your job is as simple as coming in on time, seeing your clients for their 50 minute clinical hour, then taking the last 10 minutes for scheduling, progress notes, and treatment planning. Silver River Counseling has an excellent reputation because of the level of dedication our therapists have toward their work add a personal touch to the services they provide.
● You will be required to see the majority of your clients face to face, while adhering to national COVID prevention standards. Some of your clients may request Telehealth appointments, which you will arrange through Simple Practice, a HIPAA compliant Telehealth service.
● This position will become full-time once you reach 22-30 clients. We do incentivize a bonus for 25+ clients a week, and 30+ clients is an option as long as quality clinical work and personal care are in balance.
● You will be responsible for charging clients at time of service, completing progress notes, and some scheduling depending on client preference.
● We expect our clinicians to grow in their craft by participating in continuing education and present case studies in staff meetings.
● We do require attendance to our weekly staff meetings & case consultations.
