We also believe compensation should not be something clinicians are left to figure out on their own. We regularly review reimbursement and caseload trends with our providers and look for opportunities to help clinicians maximize their earning potential while maintaining a sustainable workload.
Expected caseload: 20+ sessions per week
Position Type: Independent Contractor (1099)

Our Philosophy
Mental health professionals have more career options than ever, and we recognize that choosing the right practice is about more than compensation.
We want Brinkley Brown Mental Wellness to be a place where clinicians can do meaningful work, have professional autonomy, earn a competitive income, and still have a life outside of work.
Our success as a practice depends on the success and well-being of our providers. We are committed to creating an environment where clinicians feel supported, valued, and able to build a sustainable career without burnout.
If you're looking for the flexibility of private practice without having to build everything on your own, we'd love to talk with you.
