www.centerlifecounseling.com

Offices in White Bear Lake and Centerville plus secure Telehealth service available

CenterLife Counseling is looking for Two licensed therapists who have a passion for helping kiddos and their families. If you have that passion, please apply. Our purpose in this hiring is to build a small cohort of collaborative therapists who do play therapy within CenterLife.

Our therapists need to be healthy: Able to practice what they teach their clients. We expect CenterLife therapists to, as they say, “walk the walk.” If you are emotionally mature, qualified, and ready to enter the flexibility of independent contracting in a group practice setting, please apply.

WE ARE INTERESTED IN THERAPISTS WHO ARE:

• Licensed mental health professionals who work with children: We maintain a broad range of licensures among our therapists, including LMFT, LP, LISCW, LPCC. While having or being interested in getting your RPT is a plus, if you are in the process of getting your RPT we can work with that too.
• Looking for a healthy place to practice: We will only choose therapists who are emotionally mature with the interpersonal capacity for healthy collaboration and partnership. CenterLife Therapists are expected to bring their ‘adult selves’ to work and “practice what we teach” to our clients.
• Ready to be a “reasonable person: ” No interest in “workplace drama” or being the prima donna of the clinic (Inflated egos need not apply).
• Ready for the flexibility and control inherent in being an independent contractor: able to make their own decisions about what is best for their clients and manage the balance between work life and personal life themselves.
• Able to provide for 20 or more clients per week.

ABOUT CENTERLIFE COUNSELING

CenterLife Counseling, a well-established group practice with offices in Centerville and White Bear Lake, is MN owned and operated by Kim Lundholm-Eades, MS, LMFT, SEP. She is an Approved AAMFT and MAMFT Supervisor, and past president of MAMFT. Find out more about CenterLife at www.centerlifecounseling.com.

CenterLife Counseling was founded on a culture that is attractive to both therapists and clients. We believe that the internal, relational culture of CenterLife impacts outcomes for our clients as much as our use of ethical and best clinical and business practices.

The culture is based on the collaborators in this mental health practice “practicing what they teach” to clients. Since how we treat each other impacts the experience of our clients, we expect our therapists to actively participate in creating and maintaining that healthy culture.

For example:

• We have biweekly case consultation where all are learners and everyone, from the most experienced to the least experienced, has valuable insight to offer.
• We model healthy relationships and so talk to each other, not about each other.
• When conflicts happen, we address them directly, in a timely manner, respectfully, and with an open mind.
• Our clinical and business practice is based on ethical and best practice established by research and evidence, and values transparency.
• We have intentionally built the practice around having a broad range of professional perspectives and so, our therapists have a range of mental health licensures, specialties, and experience.
• Many of our therapists have areas of specialty (i.e.: play therapy, geriatrics, EFT, Couples and Family Therapy, adolescents, DBT, EMDR, psychological testing, LGBTQ+).
• Clients have access to a broad range of licensures and experience among our therapists and so our clients include adults, teens, children, couples, and families.
• CenterLife as a clinic also specializes in treating trauma, with several of our therapists trained in Somatic Experiencing, other Somatic modalities, Brainspotting and/or EMDR.

CenterLife Counseling offers a “turnkey” experience that allows therapists to focus on their clients rather than on administration, providing:

• Fully furnished and comfortable office space.
• A large well-maintained playroom.
• Trained, on site receptionists who are experts in greeting clients, scheduling appointments, answering phones, doing insurance verification with professionalism and the same maturity we expect of our therapists.
• Electronic Medical Record system (Therapists provide their own laptop or I-pad).
• Credentialing and re-credentialing assistance.
• Billing, invoicing, follow-up on rejected claims, follow up on collections, credit card on-file system.
• Generous revenue split (Full time therapists can earn in the $90K range).
• Case Consultation with great colleagues who love to collaborate.
• A warm, inviting, and professional atmosphere.
• Marketing, advertising, and web visibility.

We encourage applicants after their first interview to connect with some of our current therapists so they can hear for themselves that we really do mean what we say about the culture. CenterLife is a healthy place to work.

Being an independent contractor is a big plus! Our therapists who have experienced being an independent contractor do NOT want to go back to being an employee. We will coach you into taking full advantage of being an independent contractor. We will, for example, help you take advantage of the flexibility in scheduling that comes with it. We will only accept you we think you can thrive as an independent contractor.

If you want to be a part of a friendly, mature, professional, collaborative, and growing group practice please apply.
