Small Private Practice Couples Therapist

Adult Individuals \+ Couples Focus \| Champaign\-Urbana / Savoy, IL \| In\-person \+ some telehealth

Champaign Counseling is a small, close\-knit private practice (7 FT / 3 PT, 1 Office Manager) built for sustainable, high\-quality clinical work, not clinic churn. We’re hiring one full\-time therapist who enjoys adult individual therapy and couples work.

Who thrives here

• Clinically enthusiastic: develops clinical interests, pursues training, and brings insights into consultation with colleagues.
• Growth\-minded: willing to stretch clinically (within scope) and pursue training/consultation.
• Accountable \+ solution\-oriented: notices issues early, speaks up directly, and focuses on repair/solutions while also owning their part (when applicable) rather than externalizing responsibility.
• Organized: documentation is timely, scheduling is consistent, and tasks don’t fall through the cracks. If organization is a weak spot, you name it early and ask for support.
• Direct \+ respectful: can have candid conversations without drama, triangulation, intimidation, or “brutal honesty.”

The role

• Full\-time is defined as 1,175 completed client sessions per year.
• To meet that annual minimum, most clinicians maintain availability that supports \~25 sessions/week as a planning baseline (not a weekly quota; seasonality is real).
• Availability requirement (non\-negotiable): either 2 evenings/week (4–8 pm) OR every Saturday with at least 5 sessions.
• We run on stable schedules. We don’t do week\-to\-week scheduling.
• Sessions are in\-person plus some telehealth. Home\-based telehealth requires approval.

Pay (transparent, no fluff)

Pay range: $80,000–$92,000/year based on completing 1,175 sessions/year and your paid hourly rate. All employees are W\-2 and paid hourly.

This range includes paid non\-clinical hours such as monthly staff meetings and clinical consultation, up to 2 office hours/week for discharge notes, care coordination, session preparation, and other clinical admin, and a quarterly blog post/professional contribution. In practice, therapists are paid approximately 1\.4 hours for every 1 client\-facing hour (client time \+ built\-in support/admin time).

Time off \+ growth support

• PTO: 80 hours front\-loaded at the start of each year
• Paid Personal Leave: accrues up to 80 hours/year
• Paid Holidays: 6 days/year, paid at 8 hours/day
• Continuing Education: $1,200/year toward the training/CEU of your choice (build your niche)
• Paid professional peer support/consultation

Workspace \+ support

• Fully furnished, clinician\-friendly offices (standing desk options, ergonomic chairs, stocked rooms).
• Admin support and systems that let you focus on therapy (not on logistics).
• Autonomy with support: flexibility to honor your rhythm while staying accountable to role expectations.

Required

• Active Illinois license: LCSW, LCPC, or LMFT (unrestricted).
• Experience and interest in adult individual therapy and couples work.
• Solid clinical boundaries, ethical practice, and reliable follow\-through.
• Willingness to consult and collaborate with a small team.

This job is NOT for you if…

• You prefer to avoid appropriate clinical stretch rather than train, consult, and grow.
• You want maximum flexibility with minimal accountability (late notes, shifting schedules weekly, inconsistent follow\-through).
• You dislike structure, boundaries, or caregiver communication.

Note: This job description is intended to provide a general overview of the position. Other duties may be assigned as necessary to meet the needs of the organization.
