Child and Adolescent Therapist - LCSW, LPC, LMFT
About The Position
Blackbird Health is hiring a therapist for its New Jersey team to provide virtual and in-person therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults ages 2–26, as well as their caregivers. The therapist builds relationships with patients and families, supports engagement in treatment, and educates them about therapeutic approaches that foster long-term progress. Care is compassionate, evidence-based, family-centered, and informed by a whole-child approach to the interaction of brain, body, and behavior. The therapist works collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team. Multiple employment arrangements are available for LCSW, LPC, and LMFT clinicians. The full-time W-2 option offers a $75,000 base salary for a hybrid schedule with three onsite days or $80,000 for a fully onsite schedule. It includes 36 hours of scheduled clinical availability to support 28 completed direct-care hours weekly, with four-day schedule options and at least 20 hours during peak evening or weekend periods. The part-time W-2 option is 20 contracted hours weekly, supporting 17 completed direct-care hours, with the schedule anchored in peak hours. The 1099 contractor option pays $90 per completed clinical session, requires at least 10 open patient-care hours weekly to achieve a baseline of eight completed clinical hours, and offers autonomous schedule management. Blackbird handles credentialing, billing, insurance, and EMR; provides a guaranteed caseload; and builds weekly clinical consultation and peer support into the schedule. Blackbird Health is clinician-founded, owned, and operated, and provides virtual and in-person mental health services across Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, and Maryland. It is committed to inclusion and belonging and provides equal employment opportunities. Reasonable accommodations are available during the application or interview process.
