Part-Time Licensed Therapist - Evenings and Saturdays

Build a flexible private-practice caseload without leaving your school-based career. Psych Associates is seeking a part-time licensed therapist to provide outpatient counseling during evenings and Saturdays. This opportunity may be especially well suited for a school counselor who wants to expand into private-practice work while maintaining a school position.

We are an established private-pay behavioral health practice serving children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in the Springfield area. We provide a strong referral stream, furnished office space, administrative support, scheduling assistance, billing, and practice infrastructure so clinicians can focus on excellent clinical care.

Evening and Saturday appointments are among our highest-demand referral times. The clinician joining our practice can develop a consistent supplemental caseload based on personal availability and practice demand. A school counselor could maintain a regular school schedule while seeing patients on selected evenings, Saturdays, school breaks, and during the summer.

Responsibilities include:

• Provide evidence-informed outpatient psychotherapy

• Develop individualized treatment plans and review patient progress

• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation

• Coordinate care with families, schools, physicians, and other professionals when clinically appropriate and properly authorized

• Manage safety concerns and mandated-reporting responsibilities appropriately

• Maintain professional and ethical boundaries

• Offer a dependable schedule that includes evenings and/or Saturdays

This is an on-site position at our Springfield office.

Required qualifications:

• Master’s or doctoral degree in counseling, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, or a closely related field

• Current Missouri clinical license or eligibility to practice under an approved Missouri supervision arrangement

• Strong clinical judgment and interpersonal skills

• Commitment to ethical, patient-centered care

• Dependability and consistent availability

• Ability to complete documentation accurately and promptly

• Interest in developing and maintaining a part-time caseload

• Ability to provide in-person services at our Springfield office

A school-counselor credential by itself does not authorize clinical practice. Applicants must also hold, or be eligible for, an appropriate Missouri mental-health license.

Preferred qualifications:

• Current experience as a school counselor or school-based mental-health professional

• Experience treating children, adolescents, and families

• Familiarity with school-related, behavioral, developmental, or family concerns

• Training in evidence-based or evidence-informed treatment approaches

• Availability for multiple evenings, Saturdays, school breaks, or summer hours

• Interest in developing a defined clinical specialty

This is a part-time W-2 position with production-based compensation equal to 50% of collected professional fees. At our current private-pay rate of $150 per session, the clinician earns $75 for each completed and collected session.

Based on 50 working weeks per year, estimated annual compensation is:

• 8 sessions per week: approximately $30,000

• 10 sessions per week: approximately $37,500

• 12 sessions per week: approximately $45,000

• 15 sessions per week: approximately $56,250

Actual compensation will vary based on completed sessions, collections, cancellations, scheduling, and time away from the practice.

Psych Associates provides:

• Strong referral demand for evening and Saturday appointments

• Furnished professional office space

• Scheduling and administrative support

• Electronic health record access

• Practice marketing

• Consultation and collaboration

• Flexibility to build a schedule around an existing position

• No insurance-panel billing requirements
