Licensed Therapist

Licensed Therapist (LCAS Required)

Catalyst Counseling & Consulting
Based in Wilmington, NC

About the Role:

Catalyst Counseling & Consulting is a recovery-focused therapy practice seeking a dually licensed therapist with an active LCAS who is passionate about helping clients build meaningful, sustainable lives in recovery.

This is not a surface-level therapy role.

We're looking for a clinician who is comfortable going deeper—someone who can connect substance use to underlying patterns, challenge clients when needed, and guide clients toward real behavioral and identity-level change.

Our Approach:

We take a recovery-first, depth-oriented approach to therapy.

That means:

• We don't bypass substance use to focus only on underlying issues
• We believe insight alone isn't enough and therapy should lead to meaningful change
• We value both compassion and accountability in the therapy room
• We help clients understand the relationship between behavior, identity, attachment, trauma, shame, and recovery

We're building a team of clinicians who are authentic, engaged, and not afraid to do meaningful work with clients who are serious about recovery.

Who We're Looking For (Required):

• Active North Carolina license as an:
• LCSW
• LCMHC
• LMFT
• Active LCAS credential
• Passion for recovery-focused work and substance use treatment
• Ability to move beyond surface-level therapy into deeper clinical work
• Comfortable addressing:
• Trauma, attachment, shame, and identity
• Behavioral patterns and relapse cycles
• Ability to challenge clients while maintaining strong therapeutic rapport
• Values growth, consultation, feedback, and ongoing professional development
• Authentic, self-aware, and grounded clinical presence

Highly Valued (Not Required):

• Fully licensed clinician
• ART or EMDR certification
• Relapse Prevention Training or additional substance use certifications
• Experience serving specialized populations such as:
• Trauma and substance use
• Chronic relapse
• Professionals in recovery
• Women and mothers in recovery
• Co-occurring disorders
• Somatic or nervous-system-based approaches
• Veterans, military families, and Tricare populations

Role Expectations:

• Maintain approximately 22 available client sessions per week
• Provide high-quality, clinically sound care focused on meaningful outcomes
• Complete documentation in a timely and insurance-compliant manner
• Participate in consultation and remain open to feedback and growth
• Build and maintain your caseload with support from the practice
• Be credentialed with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Aetna (practice-supported)

What We Offer:

• Full autonomy over your schedule
• Freedom within your clinical style and approach
• Administrative and credentialing support
• Opportunity to grow a niche and clinical identity within the practice
• A culture that values depth, honesty, and meaningful work
• A sustainable, burnout-conscious environment
• Fair compensation and healthy boundaries
• A collaborative team that values both clinician wellbeing and client outcomes

Not the Right Fit If...

• You prefer strictly insight-based or non-directive therapy
• You avoid challenging clients or providing direct clinical feedback
• You are not aligned with a recovery-first approach to substance use treatment

Why Catalyst?

We believe therapists do their best work when they're supported, fairly compensated, and able to maintain healthy boundaries. Our practice prioritizes sustainability, autonomy, and meaningful clinical work—for both our clients and our clinicians.
