There are a variety of jobs that a licensed therapist can pursue. Contracting with a group private practice like Carolina Counseling Services presents a number of alluring factors that can make it an ideal position. Between the scheduling flexibility, supportive staff, and lucrative income possibilities, it is easy to understand why so many therapists have chosen to put their skills to work contracting with Carolina Counseling Services.

Providers are able to set their own schedules. Whether you are limited by obligations or simply prefer to work outside traditional office hours, your schedule is your own. Some providers prefer a typical 9-5 schedule. Some opt to be available in evenings or on weekends to accommodate clients who cannot get away from their own jobs to pursue counseling and/or psychiatric medication management. Others create a hybrid model of their own, creating a framework that allows them to work the specific days and hours that best fit their own lives. Gone are the days of “calling in” to a supervisor when you are sick or on vacation—you are in charge! While there are reasonable expectations as to how much time a provider takes off, the only one approving time off is you. You set your own schedule, days off, and vacation time.

While reimbursement rates vary by insurance company and plan, fully licensed therapists at Carolina Counseling Services (CCS) can expect to make between $55-$60 per session, on average. Associate Level therapists can expect to make between $25-$35 per session. This gives therapists the potential to make a very comfortable living doing what they love—providing therapy to clients!

Licensed psychiatric professionals (Psychiatrists, PMHNP-BC, PA-C)  that contract with CCS can expect to make approximately $140-$170 per hour, on average.

It is important to note that because providers are independent contractors, CCS does not withhold taxes. Contractors are responsible for maintaining their own financial records and ensuring that appropriate State and Federal taxes are paid in a timely manner.

One of the best parts of working at CCS is the unending amount of support our therapists and prescribers get from the administrative and management teams. The Scheduling Team works continuously to ensure that every provider has a full schedule—whatever a “full” schedule looks like to each individual.

If a therapist or a prescriber has an open slot, the Scheduling Team, thanks to the hard work of the Marketing Team, will screen and schedule a new client as soon as possible. This not only ensures that CCS is able to help as many clients in need of services as possible, but also that you are reaching your full potential. The Billing Team works tirelessly to process insurance billing, authorizations, and follow up to ensure our providers are paid fully, fairly, and promptly. The Operations Team will ensure that any issues relating to our offices are promptly remedied.
