Full Time Outpatient Therapist – Child & Adolescent Focus

Description

Child & Adolescent Therapist Verge Therapy

Verge Therapy is a nationally recognized, clinician-owned practice, led by award-winning leadership and represented within the Forbes Business Council for its measurable impact on client outcomes and its commitment to building sustainable, high-performing clinical teams. Every decision about pay, schedule, and workload is made by someone who's sat in the chair, which is why you're paid for your paperwork. 12 minutes of paid admin time for every clinical hour, built into your rate, not a stipend or something you catch up on at 9pm for free. It's also why 82% of the clinicians we hired in 2025 are still with us, up from 61% in 2023.

The Expectation

Full-time is 100 billable hours per month (~25/week), measured monthly, not weekly. A month absorbs the ordinary rhythm of clinical work: a heavy week, a school vacation, a run of cancellations. As a lot of our clients are school-aged, we need afternoon and evening availability. Once you have an established caseload, you build a schedule that works for you and the clients we serve.

Compensation & Benefits

• $54–$59/hr (pre-licensed) • $64–$69/hr (independently licensed) • Total compensation: $72,000-$91,000 at baseline, more with bonus (including annual benefit package of ~$7,400-$8,100) • Paid biweekly, regardless of insurance payout • 0.2 paid admin hour per clinical hour • Late cancellations/no-shows paid at your rate • 80 hours PTO at your hourly rate, counted against caseload • 401(k) with up to 4% match • Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance • Disability and Life Insurance • Malpractice Insurance fully covered • CEU reimbursement + licensure exam stipend • Free supervision (individual, group, licensure-track) and risk consultation • Paid orientation

Billable Hours Bonus

• No cap for full-time clinicians • Hours past 104 pay ~$88/hr (licensed), a 38% premium • Consistent 115+ hours = $4,400–$4,800/year bonus (licensed) or $3,700–$4,100/year (pre-licensed) • Sustained performance = $100K+ total compensation

Loyalty Program

Every full-time clinician accrues a loyalty bonus each year, and the amount grows annually. Half of each year's bonus pays out on your next anniversary and half the year after. Once you are a few years in, you are collecting from multiple years at once. Loyalty bonus accrued after year 1: $2,500. Every year, this increases by $500.
