We are a growing private group psychology practice serving individuals and families throughout the western suburbs of Chicago. Our mission is to provide responsive, high-quality, and evidence-based mental health care with a team-oriented and values-driven approach. We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate counseling clinician to join our team and grow with us.
We are currently hiring full-time counseling clinicians (LCSW, LCPC, or LMFT) to provide individual, couples, group, and/or family therapy to a diverse outpatient population. Clinicians manage their own caseloads with full administrative support, including scheduling, billing, credentialling, AI-enabled automated documentation (with client consent), and marketing.
We offer either a salaried or performance-based compensation schedule with transparent growth tied to tenure.
Salaried compensation schedule:
Performance-based compensation schedule:
Performance-based annual earnings range reflects conservative estimate of gross annual earnings for a licensed counseling clinician with an average caseload of at least 25 billable client hours per week.
At Tailwinds, we respect and defend the legal right of clients to choose their mental healthcare provider, including the decision to follow their counselor to a new practice. All new clinical hires who bring a caseload with them are eligible to receive a one-time bonus of $50 per established client.
Tailwinds respects and affirms the ability of fully licensed counseling clinicians to provide high-quality treatment according to their training and style. That’s why we include a professional autonomy clause in each of our contracts in which we legally commit to NEVER micromanage our clinicians’ approach to treatment, client communication, or clinical documentation.
At Tailwinds, we believe clinicians should control their careers, and clients should control their care. Contracts that force departing clinicians to practice beyond a certain “radius” restrict access to mental wellness for local clients who wish to continue to work with their clinician, many of whom belong to protected client populations such as veterans and first responders. When it comes to mental healthcare, non-compete clauses aren’t just unethical; they’re illegal and unenforceable under Illinois law.
Tailwinds prides itself on the value it creates for clients and isn’t afraid of healthy competition. That’s why we don’t include non-compete clauses in any of our contracts.
