OVERVIEW

 

Jesse Whittle-Utter, LMFT and Rose Therapy Practice is seeking ambitious, trauma-informed AMFTs, APPCs, and ASWs to join a growing group private practice based in the California Bay Area. This is a great opportunity to complete your hours while building a thriving private-pay and insurance client base that you can transition into your own practice you upon licensure. This position offers a pathway to building the clinical, marketing and business skills necessary to succeed in this model, with seasoned private practice supervisors who can coach you through best practices.

 

To ensure a strong mutual fit, we are prioritizing candidates who:

 

> Are local to the Bay Area

> Are interested in providing services in-person

> Are interested in building a private-pay practice

> Have the capacity and interest to build a caseload of 15-20 weekly sessions

> And EITHER: Have demonstrated experience building or maintaining a client referral pipeline (or comparable marketing/entrepreneurial experience), AND a marketing plan for private practice business development;

OR:

> Have a current, active caseload to transition

 

Please only apply if you feel you possess some or most of the desired qualities listed above.

 

Employed Associates will have access to office space across multiple locations in the Bay Area (depending on availability), and may also work virtually for some of their cases. Compensation is based on a fixed percentage of the fees you generate.

 

Jesse would be your primary supervisor. All Associates are W-2 employees of Rose Therapy Practice, which offers access to a group of 20-15 other Associates, three other supervisors (for occasional specialized consultations), and an Administrative Assistant/Billing Specialist. Associates are also offered a comprehensive best-practices marketing guide for private practice therapists, as well as 1:1 support and coaching in developing their clinical niche and public presentation.

 

SUPERVISION STRUCTURE

 

Subject to change, depending on the number of Associates who are active: Biweekly triad meeting with your supervisor and one other associate, with group supervision on alternating weeks. If you need more than one unit of supervision per week, that may be provided either through group supervision or an additional triad.

 

REFERRALS

 

We are paneled with several insurance companies, but referrals that come from these sources are not guaranteed and should not be treated as a substitute for private-pay clients. Building to a minimum private-pay caseload is required.

 

This practice is currently paneled with:

Aetna · Aetna EAP · Optum EAP · United Healthcare/Optum · Kaiser/Carealon · Kaiser Northern California Health Plan · Partnership Medi-Cal Plan · Care Connect EAP · California (FFS) Medi- Cal

 

You will be automatically credentialed with these companies through the practice and can accept referrals through them, as well as build your own private-pay client base.

 

Please note:

The practice works hard at developing referral relationships and sending referrals to our Associates. However, the ethos of the position is that it is a private practice incubator, in which we support Associate's clinical and marketing skills to optimize their success of their private-pay practice upon licensure. Associates are ultimately responsible for building their own caseloads and we cannot guarantee a minimum number of referrals through the practice. We provide a marketing guide and tailored coaching to help with the process of building your business.

​

RESPONSIBILITIES & DESIRED EXPERIENCE

 

> Provide competent, professional, ethical and in-scope clinical care to clients, including documentation and treatment planning that meets the standard of care.

> Attend all supervision meetings or arrange substitute supervision as needed.

> Build a caseload of 8-10 clients within 6 months of joining the practice, and 15-20 within a year.

> Track referrals, client insurance eligibility, copays and other payments.

 

Desired Experience: Trauma informed & trained or willing to train in modalities that incorporate depth psychology or experiential work such as IFS, EMDR, SE, or mindfulness-based approaches.
