Limited Permit MHCs - Specialty Tracks in EMDR, Christian Counseling, Couples Counseling, DBT,

About Us
AJB Counseling & Psychotherapy is a science-driven, team-oriented private practice in New York. Our primary specialty is treating panic disorder and agoraphobia, where we consistently achieve strong clinical outcomes in a structured, evidence-based model of care.

We are currently expanding several specialty service lines and are seeking Limited Permit therapists who already have training and/or experience in one or more of the following areas:

• EMDR Therapy
• Christian Counseling
• Couples Counseling
• Therapy for Men
• DBT

Qualifications (Required)

• Eligible for a Limited Permit as a Mental Health Counselor in New York State
• Strong clinical fit for at least one of the specialty areas listed above
• Clear interest in evidence-based practice and collaborative team care

Additional Qualifications by Specialty

EMDR Therapy

• Completion of an EMDRIA-approved EMDR Basic Training is required
• Applicants should already be prepared to provide EMDR therapy within scope and under supervision

DBT

• Prior DBT training is required
• Experience using DBT-informed interventions in clinical practice is strongly preferred

Couples Counseling

• Prior experience working with couples is required
• Training or experience in family systems, Functional Family Therapy, or other structured couples/family models is strongly preferred

Christian Counseling

• Prior experience providing spiritually integrated counseling is welcome
• No additional certification is required

Therapy for Men

• Experience working with male-specific clinical themes is preferred, including areas such as emotional expression, relationships, identity, anger, avoidance, or life transitions

Why Private Practice?
Many Limited Permit holders begin their careers in public clinic settings, but private practice offers a different experience. At AJB, you’ll find:

• Manageable caseloads and fewer administrative burdens
• Freedom to use evidence-based methods without rigid, one-size-fits-all protocols
• Supervision and consultation tailored to your development
• A supportive path toward full licensure and long-term growth

Why Our Team Stands Out

• Relaxed but professional environment
• Streamlined documentation expectations, with notes generally completed within 24 to 48 hours
• Flexibility in caseload, including thoughtful attention to therapist fit
• Strong burnout-prevention mindset
• Access to supervisors, peers, and practice leadership when support is needed
• Collaborative, team-first culture

What We Offer

• Consistent referral flow in specialty areas, allowing caseloads to build steadily
• Group supervision plus an active group chat for case consultation
• Additional support during onboarding when needed
• Potential growth opportunities after licensure, depending on practice needs

Compensation

• $40 per session for Limited Permit holders
• Promotion opportunities upon licensure are possible, though not guaranteed and based on practice needs
