Salem & Beverly, Massachusetts

Are you a licensed or pre-licensed clinician (LICSW or LMHC) who is passionate about helping people of all ages navigate their journeys toward mental wellness?

Are you trained in or have an interest in developing knowledge in the Expressive Arts (visual art, dance, movement, music, yoga, crafts, drama, etc) as a therapy modality?

Do you want to make a meaningful impact while enjoying flexibility and support in your career?

If YES, then we would love to talk with you! The Artful Life Counseling Center & Studio is a welcoming and supportive private group practice with a dedication to the professional development of our staff and a positive therapeutic environment for our clients.

Here is what we offer our clinicians:

● Autonomy with Support! Manage your own schedule while receiving support on meeting your hourly and financial goals.

Flexibility: Ability to “flex” your time and schedule sessions around personal appointments, gym time, etc; work a “hybrid” model - work some days remotely and some in the office;

Work more, earn more: full-time clinicians complete a minimum of 22 client sessions per week and more sessions equals more pa

Competitive Compensation: fee-for-service model plus an hourly rate for required meetings. You will get paid every two weeks. Twice a year bonuses.

● Benefits: Paid Time Off; Paid Holidays; Health, dental, vision and life insurance; 401k; Flexible Spending Accounts; Staff anniversary and birthday gifts/Recognition

● An excellent array of art supplies provided

● Free one-on-one supervision for pre-licensed and newly licensed clinicians; peer supervision weekly for all

● Professional Development: Reimbursements for CEU training attended outside of The Artful Life; In-house training, many for which CEUs have been obtained; professional feedback and goal setting every six months

● Support: In-depth orientation and onboarding; coaching, mentoring, and collaboration available from your network of colleagues

● Growth Opportunities: Many of our clinicians take on other responsibilities that suit their interests, expand their skill set, and enhance their career goals. Examples are administrative responsibilities; providing in-house training; running groups and workshops; working in the local schools; becoming a clinical supervisor; and planning staff events/outings. All ideas for growth opportunities are welcome!

● Food: Everyday availability of free snacks and beverages and fairly regular offerings of (any excuse to order food!) bagels, pizza, salad, etc.

● Fun: Last but not least, we like to have fun together! Examples of staff events include: Murder Mystery Dinner; Bowling outing; Trivia Night; Potluck Picnic in the Park by Salem Harbor; Game Night; and now we have Monthly Staff Led “Pizza & Art” gatherings in our Studio where we have lunch and make art together
