About The Position

Northern Tier Counseling is hiring outpatient psychotherapists across fee-for-service, full-time, and in-training opportunities. Fee-for-service roles are intended for master’s-level or license-eligible clinicians seeking flexibility and autonomy with clinical support. Full-time roles involve providing outpatient psychotherapy, managing an assigned caseload, and collaborating with a clinical team. In-training opportunities are for master’s-level therapists preparing for licensure and may include graduate students in psychology or social work pursuing training or paid internships. As a teaching clinic, Northern Tier Counseling provides in-vivo therapy training, supervision by LPC and LCSW therapists, individual and group consultation, and clinical partnerships. Duties and eligibility depend on education, credentials, and the training opportunity.

Eligible candidates may receive a commitment bonus of $2,000 for master’s-level clinicians or $4,000 for fully licensed clinicians. Role-specific compensation, benefits, supervision, and eligibility details are discussed during hiring. The role may include serving as primary therapist for an assigned caseload, conducting intake assessments, providing therapy and evaluations under appropriate supervision, creating and reviewing treatment plans, coordinating discharge and aftercare, participating in clinical team activities and professional development, and maintaining compliant clinical records. Other duties may include preparing reports and court testimony under program supervision, completing administrative calculations, and exploring private contract work where eligible.
