About The Position

Guillaume Counseling Services, P.C. is hiring Board-Registered Associate and Licensed Mental Health Therapists to provide outpatient mental health care at its Portland, Oregon practice. The practice primarily serves Oregon Health Plan (OHP)/Medicaid members, including children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing mild to low-severe mental health conditions. Services are compassionate, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based. Qualified Mental Health Professional (QMHP) opportunities are anticipated to become available beginning in 2027; prospective QMHP applicants are encouraged to apply for those future opportunities. This hourly W-2 role is hybrid, combining in-person services at the Portland office with remote telehealth. Clinicians must be able to travel to the office for in-person care as scheduled; the position is not fully remote. Clinicians begin part-time, with the opportunity to transition to full-time. Building a caseload sufficient for full-time hours may take approximately 6–9 months, depending on referrals and service demand. The minimum availability is 20 hours per week. Part-time schedules are 20–29 hours per week, typically about 15–24 client sessions; full-time schedules are 30–40 hours per week, typically about 25–33 client sessions. Clinicians establish preferred schedules based on availability, professional goals, client needs, and organizational requirements. Appointments are available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Clinicians must also be available for scheduled supervision, consultation, team meetings, and training between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. All required activities and work time are compensated. Hourly compensation ranges from $35 to $62 depending on role, licensure, qualifications, and applicable bilingual or culturally specific qualifications. Associate therapist rates are $43 standard, $45 culturally specific, or $47 bilingual. Licensed therapist rates are $50–$58 standard, $52–$60 culturally specific, or $54–$62 bilingual; licensed rates depend on years of independent licensure and applicable qualifications. Anticipated QMHP rates beginning in 2027 are $35 standard, $37 culturally specific, or $39 bilingual. Annual equivalents in the posting are estimates based on 52 weeks at the stated rates; actual earnings depend on hours worked, caseload development, and service demand. Full-time hours and projected earnings are not guaranteed. All hours worked, including clinical services, documentation, supervision, meetings, and assigned administrative duties, are paid. Eligible full-time employees may receive medical, dental, and vision insurance. Other stated offerings include paid sick leave in accordance with Oregon requirements, retirement savings options through OregonSaves and a 401(k) subject to eligibility, professional liability insurance, flexible scheduling, professional advancement opportunities, structured onboarding, paid training, credential-appropriate clinical supervision and consultation, billing and credentialing administrative support, and AI-assisted clinical documentation tools.
