OPEN POSITION: FULL TIME THERAPIST (PART-TIME AVAILABLE)

Since 2018, Newberg Counseling & Wellness has been serving clients in Oregon with counseling services that make a difference.
We are looking for an experienced fully licensed clinician to join our team. This opportunity offers flexible hours, market fair pay, paid vacation and sick time, medical insurance benefits, and a 401K retirement savings account.

What makes us different?

We believe in supporting one another through hard clinical work and we take self-care and vacation time seriously because burnout is real. Counselors are people and deserve to have a life outside of work. As humans doing this distinctly human work, we are committed to the privacy, data security and rights of our clients to make choices about protected health information and the use of AI in counseling. Ethical client care is the value that drives our practice.
Private Practice without the headache
As an insurance-based practice, we employ a comprehensive insurance strategy with and financial practices that have brought stability and staying power to our practice. We manage all of our own health insurance contracts to protect provider autonomy and independence.
If you are intimidated by insurance, we are here to help. We take care of insurance credentialing and are steadfast in keeping up with the ever-changing insurance landscape. Because we take most major insurances, we are able to serve a large variety of clients including clients with Medicaid through Yamhill County and Marion County. We serve low-income clients, high-income clients and everyone in-between.
Happy Healthy Clinicians
Allow your clinical specialties to shine and hone new skills that set you apart. We believe clinicians are happiest and healthiest when they are doing their best work with the clients they love to work with. This is the joy of working in private practice!
We’d love to talk about your areas of clinical interest, certifications and trainings, and your clinical vision for your career. Becoming a clinician was hard work. You went to school, graduated, and completed your licensure supervision hours. Counseling is a calling, and we’d love to join with you toward a meaningful career that brings you joy. Let’s talk.
