Mental Health Therapist / Counselor – Maryland (Hybrid)

The Opportunity

New Connections Counseling Center is looking for a part-time licensed therapist in Maryland to join our team. We are a feminist-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming group practice in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood, and we take our work seriously while maintaining a culture where humor, authenticity, and mutual support are the norm.

This is a flexible, part-time role for someone who wants to see 10–15 clients per week — whether you’re balancing another position, building toward full-time, or intentionally keeping a smaller caseload. We provide the infrastructure (billing, liability coverage, referrals, office space, HIPAA-compliant tools) so you can focus on clinical work.

This is a session-based position with no guaranteed salary floor and no benefits. Your income is a direct reflection of the caseload you build and maintain.

What Makes Us Different

• Transparent pay: You earn a flat session rate regardless of whether the client or insurer pays us. No waiting on pay — if you completed a session, you will be paid during that pay period. No surprises about what you’re owed.
• Full practice support: Liability coverage, HIPAA-compliant tools, billing, and admin — all handled.
• Growth built in: We match you with your preferred populations and support your ongoing clinical development through consultation and mentorship.
• Referrals and marketing: We actively invest in marketing you to fill your caseload through things like Google Ads, Psychology Today, social media, and our website.
• A team that has your back: Consultation, connection, and community — without micromanagement.
• Flexible scheduling: You set your own schedule within our available hours. Some evening or weekend availability is required.
• Earning potential that scales: Session rates increase at higher volumes. If you decide to grow your caseload, your rate grows with it.
• Retention bonus: Quarterly bonus for clients you retain beyond their initial sessions.

Who You Are

You’re a clinician who takes ownership of your work. Even at part-time volume, you manage your caseload proactively and follow up when clients drift. You’re comfortable with the rhythms of session-based income — some weeks are fuller than others.

You value clinical independence yet want a team around you for support and consultation. You’re looking for a practice that treats you like a professional.

You want somewhere to put down roots, even at part-time hours — deep client relationships, a clinical identity that’s yours. You’re looking for a place where hard work pays off.

We’re Especially Interested in Experience With

• Trauma-informed modalities (EMDR, Brainspotting, TF-CBT, Somatic Experiencing)
• Neurodivergence (ADHD and/or Autism spectrum)
• OCD treatment using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
• Adolescent therapy
• Couples therapy (if you don’t have this experience, we will support you in your training)
• Sex therapy

You don’t need to check every box. If you bring enthusiasm, clinical skill, and a willingness to grow, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

• Master’s or Doctoral degree in Social Work, Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, or a related field
• Fully licensed in Maryland (LCSW-C, LCPC, or equivalent) with no supervision requirements
• Responsive, affirming, and relational clinical approach
• Comfort with building and managing your own caseload
• Willingness to participate in group consultation and contribute to team culture
• Alignment with values of a feminist-informed and socially conscious practice

Compensation

• Session rate: Starts with $80 per session depending on degree level and volume tier. Couples sessions earn higher rates.
• Earning potential: A part-time clinician seeing 10–15 sessions/week can earn $55,000+ annually.
• Malpractice insurance: Covered by the practice.
• Retention bonus: Quarterly, based on client retention metrics.
• Retirement match: After year one.

Note: This position does not include health insurance, dental insurance, PTO, HSA or retirement match. These benefits are available only to full-time clinicians.
