The Role

You'll carry a caseload of adult individuals and couples, delivering active, evidence-based therapy in a practice that gives you the structure, supervision, and support to do your best clinical work.

✓ W2 position with full benefits — not contract work

✓ Primary population: adult individuals and couples

✓ Primarily in-person at our Downers Grove office (option for 1 virtual day)

✓ Full caseload: 30 available slots, approximately 25 clients seen per week

✓ Schedule: includes 2 evenings + 1 weekend day

✓ Weekly group supervision and ongoing clinical training

This Role Is for You If:

• You believe lasting change comes from clarity, support, and the right tools. Not just talking about problems.

• You're comfortable being active and directive in session while still honoring the client's pace.

• You want to work with couples. We'll invest in building your couples skills even if you don't have deep experience yet. As long as you're eager to learn and your clinical instincts align with our approach.

• You want to work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues.

• You're a go-getter who participates, brings ideas, and wants to strengthen the team culture.

• You value evidence-based practice and are hungry to keep learning.

Who Should Apply

• Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, Counseling, Social Work, or a related field.

• Active Illinois license: LMFT, LCPC, or LCSW preferred. ALMFT and LPC welcome.

• A strong desire to work with couples. Experience and advanced training are a plus — but if your clinical style aligns with ours and you're committed to learning, we'll invest in your development.

• Comfortable with a schedule that includes 2 evenings and 1 weekend day.

• Committed to ongoing personal and professional growth.

The Role

This is a dual role: you'll carry your own caseload of adult individuals and couples while also providing clinical supervision and overseeing 2-3 therapists under you. You're the person who can model what excellent, active therapy looks like — and help others get there.

What This Adds Beyond Staff Therapist

Everything in the Staff Therapist role applies here, plus:

✓ Provide supervision to 2-3 therapists

✓ lead group supervision sessions, bringing clinical expertise to case consultation

✓ Help shape clinical standards and ensure our directive, evidence-based approach is maintained across the team

This Role Is for You If:

• You meet all the criteria for the Staff Therapist role and are already practicing at a high level.

• You have experience (or strong interest) in training and developing other clinicians.

• You give direct, honest feedback and know how to do it in a way that builds people up.

• You want to be part of shaping the clinical direction of a growing practice.

• You believe supervision should be as active and structured as the therapy we deliver.

Compensation

Supervisor compensation includes the staff therapist session rate (based on experience) plus additional compensation for supervision hours at your clinical rate.

Who Should Apply

• Fully licensed in Illinois: LMFT, LCPC, or LCSW required.

• Meets Illinois requirements for providing clinical supervision

• Demonstrated clinical expertise in couples therapy, evidence-based modalities (Gottman, EFT, CBT), and active/directive approaches.

• A track record of mentoring, training, or supervising other clinicians.

• Comfortable with a schedule that includes 2 evenings and 1 weekend day.

The Opportunity

This isn't an internship where you sit in the corner and observe. You'll see real clients — individuals and couples — from early on. You'll learn our directive, evidence-based approach through hands-on experience, weekly individual supervision, and weekly group supervision alongside our full team.

You'll leave this internship with clinical skills most new graduates don't have: the ability to structure a session, guide a couple through conflict in real time, and deliver therapy that produces measurable change.

What Your Internship Looks Like

✓ Direct client sessions with adult individuals and couples

✓ 2 days per week in the office: 1 weekday evening (1–9pm) + 1 weekend day, or 2 weekday evenings

✓ Minimum 10-month commitment to ensure meaningful clinical development

✓ Weekly individual supervision with a licensed clinician

✓ Weekly group supervision with the full clinical team

This Internship Is for You If:

• You're drawn to active, structured therapy — not just sitting with feelings.

• You want to learn couples work and aren't intimidated by the complexity of relational dynamics.

• You want real clinical hours with real clients, not busywork.

• You value direct feedback and honest supervision that makes you better.

• You're excited about evidence-based practice and want to build strong clinical foundations early.

Who Should Apply

• Currently pursuing a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, Clinical Counseling, or equivalent program.

• Available to work 2 days per week in the Downers Grove office (1 weekday + 1 weekend day, or 2 weekday evenings).

• Able to commit to a minimum of 10 months.

• Aligned with our clinical approach: directive, evidence-based, skills-focused, and goal-oriented.
