About Talk Therapy Center:

We are a therapist centered practice that is made by therapists, for therapists. We were all tired of being used by faceless corporate machines that overworked and underpaid us (50 scheduled sessions to only see 20 and get paid 40% of what was offered in the interview). We are not interested in doing band-aid therapy that can be the focus of the Better Help’s of the world or the EAP therapy practices. We are also not bound by financial burdens of cash pay or super-bill practices that aren’t built to thrive in a recession. We are a private pay insurance-based company that values true therapy that promotes healing and change.

The therapists of Talk Therapy Center decided to band together to create the type of environment that only a therapist can design. We value each other as professionals and support each other to grow into the best therapists we can be. Our work family is strong and vibrant. If you are looking for a healthy work environment, this is the job for you. We are here to support each other to be the best therapists we can be, while being matched with the best clients for us, so that we can do the best work. We are looking for other likeminded therapists who can join us in working hard to help our clients while growing as practitioners, professionals, and people.

Talk Therapy Center is a Group Practice in Riverside, CA that provides individual, family, couples, and group therapy, in-person and telehealth, with low-acuity insurance referred clients. Most of our practice is with insurance referred individuals for adjustment, depressive, and anxiety related issues seeking individual treatment.

Positions Available:

We offer the following positions as a Licensed Therapist (LMFT, LCSW, and LPCC) or Licensed Clinical Psychologists:

• Staff Therapist is our “full time, Licensed” position that is designed for therapists who enjoy stability, structure, and an easily manageable pace. This salaried position can be in-office, remote, or hybrid and earns $72,000-$82,000 base pay with bonus commission for seeing above 25 sessions per week. The minimum standard is 25 sessions per week and 1 hour of our Staff Development meeting each week. This can be completed in however much time the therapist requires to meet the 25-session minimum and 1 meeting hour. The bonus commission rates are $70 per session for each session above 25 or $80 per session for each session above 30. Benefits: 22 Days of PTO, Healthcare, CEU Reimbursement Plan, and 401k.
• Per Diem is a great position for therapists who are looking for private practice work on their own terms. This position allows for therapists to schedule themselves a caseload that meets their needs. While this position is eligible for California’s Paid Sick Leave, it is considered a “non-benefitted position.” The minimum requirement for this position is a commitment to conduct 8 sessions per week. The pay structure for this position is $50-$65 per conducted session. While this position is self-scheduled, consistency in the schedule is required for client care.

We offer the following positions as an Associate Therapist (AMFT, ACSW, and APCC):

• Pre-Licensed Therapist is a position created for associates wanting to strengthen their clinical skills in providing a “full course of treatment” (beginning, middle, and end). While we require associates to have a base level of knowledge to join the team (settings and experience), we have seen associate therapists thrive and continue with Talk Therapy Center after earning their licensure. While the strenuous workload of 30 scheduled sessions per week can be challenging, as associates gain mastery in the setting, with certain populations/orientations, and with their skillset, their therapy muscles grow and their easily able to enjoy sitting across from clients at a minimum of 25 conducted sessions per week. Supervision is provided with individual/triadic and group supervision each week. Pre-Licensed Therapists are paid for 40-hours per week at a base rate and earn commission for each session they see. The typical range per year for this position is between $59,000-$71,000. Benefits: 22 Days of PTO, Healthcare, CEU Reimbursement Plan, and 401k.
• Pre-Licensed Part-Time is also an option for therapists wanting to work in this setting but at a slower pace. This position is typically set at either 10 or 20 scheduled sessions per week but is not benefitted. The appropriate ratio of supervision is provided. Additional hours are also paid at a non-clinical rate to account for administrative tasks.
• Per Diem is a great position for therapists who are looking for private practice work on their own terms. This position allows for therapists to schedule themselves a caseload that meets their needs. While this position is eligible for California’s Paid Sick Leave, it is considered a “non-benefitted position.” The minimum requirement for this position is a commitment to conduct 8 sessions per week. The pay structure for this position is $45-$55 per conducted session. While this position is self-scheduled, consistency in the schedule is required for client care.

We are looking for professional therapists who can commit to long term care for their clients. Insurance referred clients can require long term, weekly care and therapists who are looking to job hop are not suitable for our clientele.

Due to our licensed therapists requiring individual paneling, there will be a paneling period prior to starting with their clients which often takes 30-90 days. This process does incur a cost which is forgiven following 6 months of employment. Associate therapists do not require individual paneling.
