Psychotherapist

• Hybrid remote/in-person

• Location: Amherst / Hadley / Southwick

• Job Type: Full-time employee, hourly

• $62,000.00 - $78,000.00

About the Role

Advance Psychotherapy Practice (APP) is seeking a full-time Psychotherapist to join our growing, supportive team.

Clinicians in this role are expected to see and bill a minimum of 25 client sessions per week. Sessions completed beyond this threshold are eligible for incentive compensation within each pay period. 

APP is a flexible practice by design. While we work hard to accommodate clinician scheduling needs, interest in seeing clients one or two evenings per week and/or occasional weekend availability is a strong plus, as these are high-demand times for clients. We offer pay differentials for seeing clients on nights and weekends. 

Clinical Focus & Practice Priorities

Clinical Interests & Experience (Preferred, Not Required)

• Trauma-attuned clinicians who are comfortable working with a range of trauma-related clinical presentations, including affect regulation difficulties, dissociation, attachment disruptions, and higher levels of clinical acuity

• Training in or interest in trauma modalities such as EMDR or other neurobiologically informed trauma approaches (a strong plus reflecting current client demand)

• Experience with or openness to family systems work, including family therapy and relational dynamics

• Open to providing some couples and/or group work as part of their practice

• Interested in or experienced with child and adolescent therapy, with access to dedicated play therapy spaces designed for children and adolescents

• Experience working with eating disorders or interest in developing competence in this area

Experience in these areas is a strong plus but not required. We encourage clinicians who may not currently work in all of these areas—but who are interested in learning, expanding their skill set, or growing into this work with appropriate training and support—to apply.

• Interested in flexible scheduling, including some evening or weekend availability
