Kid and Family Therapist

Chicago CBT Center is looking for a thoughtful, curious therapist who genuinely enjoys working with children and families.Founded in 2010, Chicago CBT Center is an established private-pay specialty practice providing evidence-based treatment for anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, phobias and related concerns.What Full-Time Looks Like HereWe believe clinicians do their best work when caseloads are sustainable.A typical full-time caseload is approximately 25 45-minute sessions per week.Licensed Clinical Psychologists maintaining this caseload average $150,000+ annually, with additional annual bonuses averaging $3,000–$6,000. New clinicians receive a starting stipend while building their caseload, along with an established stream of referrals and support as they transition into the practice.Because we are a private-pay practice and not contracted with insurance companies, clinicians can maintain lower-volume caseloads while earning competitive compensation.
