Position Summary

We are currently hiring full-time counseling clinicians (LCSW, LCPC, or LMFT) to provide individual, couples, group, and / or family therapy to a diverse outpatient population. Clinicians manage their own caseloads with full administrative support, including scheduling, billing, credentialling, AI-enabled automated documentation (with client consent), and marketing.

At Tailwinds, we believe every full-time licensed clinician deserves to earn at least six figures (plus benefits) on an annual basis within two years or less. Compensation is based on license type, licensure status, and tenure with the practice, and is calculated per billable clinical hour (i.e., hours billed to the client or insurance). Full-time clinicians are expected to maintain an average caseload of 25 clients per week and are eligible for benefits.

Compensation Structure

LCSW, LCPC, or LMFT :

• Year 1 : 52% of revenue billed per billable hour
• Year 2 : 55%
• Year 4+ : 60%

Base earnings range reflects good-faith estimate of gross annual earnings for a Year 1 clinician with an average caseload of at least 25 clients / week.

Hiring Bonus

At Tailwinds, we respect and defend the legal right of clients to choose their mental healthcare provider, including the decision to follow their counselor to a new practice. All new clinical hires who bring a caseload with them are eligible to receive a one-time bonus of $50 per established client.
