Licensed Therapist - EMDR Trained (LCSW, LMFT, LPCC)

Licensed Therapist - EMDR & Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy **Within Therapy Solutions** **W-2 position | $90 per 45–50-minute session** **Primarily remote | In-person work required on Fridays in Fair Oaks, CA** Build a long-term clinical home: I’m seeking a fully licensed California therapist who has completed an EMDRIA approved EMDR basic training and wants to deepen their work in trauma-focused psychotherapy. As I expand from a solo practice, I’m looking for a thoughtful clinician who would enjoy growing alongside me and contributing to a small practice grounded in compassionate care, strong therapeutic relationships, and meaningful clinical change. My clients are primarily adults with developmental trauma, including the effects of childhood emotional neglect, abuse, and difficult attachment experiences. I also occasionally work with adults who have experienced single-incident trauma. Why join Within Therapy Solutions? Building an independent practice takes time and energy for marketing, establishing visibility, and generating referrals. Here, those efforts are already underway, and **I handle all practice marketing**. I currently receive approximately **2–4 inquiries per week that I’m unable to accommodate**. Appropriate prospective clients will be directed to you as we build your caseload. These inquiries provide a foundation for growth, although not every inquiry will become an ongoing client. This role offers an opportunity to focus more of your energy on therapy, develop a trauma-focused caseload, and have a colleague alongside you as your work grows. You’ll have direct connection with the practice owner, room to contribute your ideas, and a voice in shaping the practice. I value clinical independence, thoughtful collaboration, and open conversations about progress, challenges, and what our clients need. Compensation and work setting: * **$90 per 45–50-minute therapy session in a W-2 position.** * Practice marketing handled by the owner, with appropriate inquiries directed to you. * Primarily remote work with California clients. * **One in-person workday per week is required on Fridays in Fair Oaks, CA.** * Flexibility to choose your other workdays within the scheduling requirements below. * Direct collaboration with the practice owner and respect for your clinical judgment. **Employer-sponsored health insurance, retirement contributions, and a training stipend are not offered.** Schedule and gradual caseload growth: We will work toward building your caseload over approximately **six months**, with a goal of maintaining a **minimum of 18 client sessions per week once established**. You may see more clients if desired. **Availability for at least two weekday PM shifts from 4–8 p.m. Pacific is required** to accommodate clients who need appointments outside typical work hours. You may choose the weekdays in coordination with the practice owner, with your remaining appointments scheduled during daytime hours. Your schedule and session-based earnings will begin gradually and increase as clients establish care. Growth depends on referrals, availability, and clinical fit; an immediate full caseload is not guaranteed. Consistent evening appointment options are expected during this buildup. This opportunity is intended for someone who can accommodate a gradual start and hopes to develop a lasting relationship with the practice (minimum 2 years). Your role * Provide individualized psychotherapy using EMDR and other trauma-focused approaches within your training and competence. * Attend to therapeutic rapport, client readiness, and thoughtful pacing of trauma treatment. * Complete assessments, treatment plans, and timely clinical documentation. * Monitor progress and adapt treatment to clients’ needs and goals. * Maintain ethical standards and comply with California practice and telehealth requirements. * Communicate reliably with clients and the practice owner. Who would be a good fit? * An active California **LCSW, LMFT, or LPCC license** permitting independent practice. We are not hiring associates. * **Completed EMDR basic training.** EMDR certification is welcome but is not required. * A strong interest in working with adults with developmental trauma. * Warmth, authenticity, and the ability to build trusting therapeutic relationships. * Sound clinical judgment, openness to feedback, and comfort working independently. * Availability that aligns with the caseload and scheduling expectations, including in-person work on Fridays in Fair Oaks. * Interest in continued clinical growth and a long-term role in a small practice. Newly licensed and experienced clinicians who meet these requirements are welcome to apply.

I look forward to learning about you and the work you hope to build.
