Therapist- Hybrid Job Description

We are seeking a fully licensed (LCSW, LPC, or LMFT) contract therapist to add to our team. This position is hybrid with 2-3 days working from home and 2-3 days working in the office in Salem, OR.

Our Mission Statement:

Rooted Mental Health (RMH) is a cooperative (co-op) group behavioral health practice focused on compassion for self, clients, and community. We serve low-income and other vulnerable Oregonians facing barriers to wellness due to mental health difficulties and traumatic histories. We believe that in order for individuals to truly heal from issues like mental illness, substance use, unsafe relationships, and others, we must address the underlying root causes of individual, family, and community trauma. We combine evidence-based practices with innovative treatments to address mental health from a whole-person perspective. Our goal is to help clients thrive, not just survive.

What makes us different:

At Rooted Mental Health, we believe in putting our values around equity, integrity, simplicity and transparency into practice. We believe in taking care of our staff by providing paid leave, clinical supervision, and consultation in a supportive team environment. Most importantly, all full-time staff have the opportunity to be invited to buy into co-ownership built into their contracts. We are committed to developing a truly cooperative model of delivering behavioral healthcare.

What we offer:

A 70/30% split of all revenue, including client sessions, case management time, etc. with an additional differential for bilingual therapists and therapists who identify with marginalized populations as defined by OHA’s Health Equity Initiative.
A steady stream of referrals with a full caseload within 30 days of starting.
Support with insurance credentialing and contracting.
Support with scheduling, client insurance verification, payment collection, and other billing services.

Access to Case Manager for clients with complex needs.
Flexible working hours- you make your own schedule.
Options for buying into co-ownership on a three-year plan by invitation (As a co-op, all of our company decisions are consensus-based).
Support for contractor/self-employment PTO contributions through Paid Leave Oregon program.
Financial support for CEUs.
Salary is dependent on caseload, licensure type, and average billable hours; for example, with 20 billable hours per week for 48 weeks, average salary is $96,000/year.
