Description

Welcome to NYC Affirmative Psychotherapy!

We are a remote-only practice based in Manhattan, looking for full-time LMSW therapists to earn their clinical hours and grow into well-rounded, trauma-informed clinicians.

For the past eight years, our remote group psychotherapy practice has provided individual, couples, and group psychotherapy to adults ages 18 and up in NY and NJ. By offering a sliding scale and participating in several insurance networks, we demonstrate our commitment to providing quality, long-term psychotherapy to our patients and the work of social justice. At NYCAP we believe that change is possible and that we as human beings grow in relationships where an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles. We recognize the innate strengths that continue to allow people to function while enduring difficult life circumstances. We know the courage it takes to embark upon this healing process, and we are looking for a dedicated social worker who understands this to join our team.

At NYC Affirmative you will build a full caseload of up to 29 patients providing weekly psychotherapy to adults 18+. You’ll work under the supervision of experienced LCSWs who are a part of the same communities we serve. And you’ll be a part of a dedicated group of therapists who believe in our mission to provide affordable, long-term care to our patients.

The schedule for this position is Monday - Wednesday 12pm-8pm, Thursday - Friday 10am - 6pm.

The Staff Therapist position is a fee-for-service, W2 position paid at $45-$52 per session. The fee-for-service rate includes blocked-off time for administrative work, lunches, and provided supervision. After reaching a full caseload of 29 patients, Staff Therapists may be eligible for a full-time salaried offer that includes employer sponsored medical, dental and vision insurance, 401k with match, PTO and other benefits.
