Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems, teletherapy platforms, and evidence-based therapeutic modalities is typically required.

What is the difference between Part Time Psychotherapist vs Part Time Counselor?

AspectPart Time PsychotherapistPart Time Counselor
CredentialsMaster's or Doctoral degree in psychology or related field, licensure requiredRelevant bachelor's or master's degree, certification may be preferred
Work EnvironmentClinics, private practices, hospitals, mental health centersSchools, community centers, outpatient clinics
Employer & IndustryHealthcare, mental health services, private practiceEducational institutions, community organizations, outpatient facilities
Work FocusDiagnosing and treating mental health disorders through therapyProviding emotional support, guidance, and counseling for various issues

While both roles involve providing mental health support, a Part Time Psychotherapist typically has advanced credentials and focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions through therapy. A Part Time Counselor often provides guidance and support for general emotional issues, usually with less extensive licensure requirements.

How do part time psychotherapists typically manage caseloads and maintain work-life balance?

Part-time psychotherapists often have the flexibility to set their own schedules and limit the number of clients they see, which helps them maintain a healthy work-life balance. However, they must be adept at time management and establish clear boundaries to avoid overextending themselves, as client needs can sometimes lead to additional administrative work or emergency situations. Many part-time therapists work in private practices, group practices, or community clinics, where they may collaborate with other mental health professionals for supervision and case consultations. Effective communication and organizational skills are key to managing a part-time caseload while providing high-quality care.

What is a part time psychotherapist?

Part time psychotherapists are mental health professionals who provide therapy and counseling services to clients on a part-time basis, rather than working full-time hours. They may specialize in various approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or family therapy, and work with individuals, couples, or groups. Part time psychotherapists often balance their work with other professional or personal commitments, and may be employed at clinics, private practices, hospitals, or community organizations.

Job description

LICENSED THERAPIST: PART-TIME WEEKEND & IN-OFFICE ROLE
(Weekend Availability Required)
Location: Westmont, IL (Hybrid)

Looking for a clinical role that fits your life? Whether you are a full-time educator or agency clinician seeking guaranteed supplemental income, or a new Master's graduate ready to safely build a consistent caseload, our part-time positions offer the perfect balance. Enjoy meaningful client work with flexible weekend hours and zero on-call demands, plus the option to add remote evening availability if you're interested in maximizing your hours.

You Care About Doing Thoughtful Therapy. So Do We.

At Elevate Counseling + Wellness, we've built a group practice where clinicians can focus on meaningful clinical work within a calm, well-structured environment. We believe strong therapy happens when clinicians feel supported, expectations are clear, and collaboration is part of everyday practice.

We are currently seeing a growing need for clients seeking in-office therapy outside of traditional weekday hours, especially on Fridays, evenings, and weekends. This role is designed for a clinician who values thoughtful therapy and is interested in helping expand access for clients whose schedules require more flexibility.

Our culture prioritizes professionalism, relationship-centered care, and sustainable clinical work. We create a place where therapists can grow their skills, maintain high standards of care, and build long-term careers without operating in constant urgency.

Elevate is a place for clinicians who value steady, meaningful work, thoughtful colleagues, and systems that allow them to focus on their clients.
What It's Like to Work Here
Our practice is intentionally designed to support both clinicians and clients. At Elevate, you can expect:

  • A steady pace of clinical work rather than urgency-driven scheduling
  • Clear expectations around documentation, boundaries, and professional standards
  • Collaboration across clinicians, leadership, and administrative staff
  • Opportunities for supervision, consultation, and professional development
  • Respect for each therapist's clinical style within shared practice values

We work intentionally to create a psychologically safe, respectful environment where clinicians can ask questions, refine their clinical voice, and feel supported in their professional growth.

You'll Likely Thrive Here If You

  • Value strong therapeutic relationships and ethical care
  • Communicate clearly and work well within a team
  • Appreciate structure while maintaining professional autonomy
  • Are reflective, grounded, and committed to continued growth
  • Enjoy working with clients in person
  • Are open to a consistent schedule that includes Friday, weekend, and evening availability
  • Want to help clients access therapy at times that better fit real-life work, school, family, and caregiving demands

We welcome clinicians from diverse backgrounds, identities, and theoretical orientations and are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace.
Role Summary: Part-Time Weekend & In-Office Therapist
This role is designed for therapists who provide thoughtful, relationship-centered outpatient psychotherapy and are available to support clients needing in-office, weekend, and remote evening appointment options.

This position begins as part-time, with the opportunity to grow toward full-time over time if desired. Clinicians who build to full-time may become eligible for full-time staff benefits in accordance with Elevate's benefits structure.
