Tailwinds Psychology is a growing group psychology practice serving individuals and families throughout the western suburbs of Chicago. Our mission is to provide responsive, high-quality, and evidence-based psychological care with a team-oriented and values-driven approach. We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate counseling psychologist to join our team and grow with us.
We are currently hiring full-time counseling psychologists 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, credentialing, AI-enabled automated documentation (with client consent), and marketing, so clinicians can focus on client care.
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 psychologist 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 psychologist 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 psychologists 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 psychologists’ approach to treatment, client communication, or clinical documentation.
At Tailwinds, we believe psychologists should control their careers, and clients should control their care. Contracts that force departing psychologists to practice beyond a certain “radius” restrict access to mental wellness for local clients who wish to continue to work with their psychologist, 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.
