Simple Solutions Psychotherapy Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Full- time and Part-Time availability: Join a Team Driven by Purpose, Mastery, and Growth

At Counseling Center of Grayslake (CCG), we believe therapy is more than a profession—it’s a mission. Our work is rooted in a deep WHY: to empower individuals, couples, and families to create real, lasting change in their lives. We don’t just offer therapy. We build a team of skilled, passionate clinicians who help clients make meaningful progress.

We are looking for therapists who are driven by purpose, passionate about their craft, and eager to grow. You’ll be part of a team that values clinical excellence, collaboration, and ongoing learning. If you thrive in an environment where professional development is prioritized, relationships matter, and impact is measurable—we want to meet you.

Why Join Us?

At CCG, we don’t just provide therapy—we cultivate mastery and autonomy. Our clinicians receive hands-on training, regular supervision, and access to a team that values both clinical rigor and human connection. We believe great therapy happens when therapists feel supported, energized, and fulfilled.

That’s why we invest in continuous learning, peer collaboration, and a strong sense of community. You won’t be left figuring things out on your own. We provide the structure, mentorship, and resources you need to sharpen your skills and grow.

We also recognize that outpatient therapy can feel isolating. That’s why we foster connection and team engagement with quarterly gatherings, collaborative training, and a supportive workplace culture. You’ll have a team that has your back. You’ll feel challenged but never alone.

Whether you’re an experienced clinician or an eager learner, you’ll find mentorship, structure, and room to grow here.

Your Role

• Client-Centered Care: Maintain a caseload of 8-20 clients per week, providing individual, couple, family, or group psychotherapy.

• Flexible Scheduling: Evening and/or Saturday availability is required.

• Evidence-Based Practice: Utilize CBT, REBT, Motivational Interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and similar models.

• Comprehensive Clinical Documentation: Complete biopsychosocial assessments, treatment plans, and progress notes accurately and efficiently.

• Collaborative Approach: Work with external professionals (physicians, psychiatrists, school staff) to ensure the best outcomes for your clients.

For the right candidate, this position could transition into a full-time role, which includes all the benefits of part-time staff, plus generous health and dental benefits.
