About The Position

Vista Counseling is hiring a Couples Therapist to provide couples counseling to clients in Bend and Central Oregon. Therapists may use Gottman, EFT, or another evidence-based approach, and the intake team matches couples with therapists according to their style. Evening availability is especially helpful, though therapists set their own schedules and caseload goals. The minimum caseload is 18 client sessions per week, and goals can range from 18 to 30 sessions weekly. This is W-2 employment with a locally owned organization that has operated since 2002. Compensation is per session and scales with the weekly goal. For a full-time schedule of 24 clients per week, stated annual compensation is approximately $78,374 for associates or pre-licensed therapists with a master's degree, $87,360–$97,344 for licensed therapists with a master's degree, and $99,216–$109,200 for psychologists. Annual figures are calculated over 52 weeks and include paid sick leave/PTO. The Boost Program guarantees pay at the therapist's caseload goal for the first three months, with stated values of up to $19,600–$24,300 for master's-level therapists and $24,800–$27,300 for psychologists. Vista Counseling states its commitment to addressing implicit bias and racism, supporting communities of color and people from diverse backgrounds, practicing humility, engaging in lifelong learning, accepting feedback, and taking meaningful action. It is an equal opportunity employer.
