Hiring Independent Contractors

Would you like to join a practice where your knowledge and experience will be honored? A practice where you can set your own schedule, either bringing your own clients or allowing the company to build on your client base? Do you seek independence, but don’t want to mess with overhead or billing insurance? Do you want to be able to see as many, or as few, clients per week to meet your professional, financial, and work/life balance needs?

Athena Counseling, LLC, in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, is seeking Masters/Doctorate, independently (highest level) New Mexico licensed providers to join the team. The position can be for providers who wish to offer solely telehealth, see clients in-person, or a hybrid.

Your pay will be above market, and will be commensurate with your experience. I want providers who want to stay with the practice, so I will offer a contract that works for both of us. 

This position is for a 1099 Independent Contractor; you will be required to pay your own federal, state, self employment taxes, along with carrying your own malpractice insurance. You will supply your own internet access, laptop/computer, and will be given access to a HIPAA-compliant platform to conduct your telehealth sessions, as well as access to a user friendly electronic health record platform and calendar.

Ideally, you will already be credentialed with some insurance companies; if not, no worries. I’m happy to get you credentialed, although it can take 60-90 days to accomplish this.

The ideal candidate will be confident in his/her/their clinical skills; approach all clients with unconditional positive regard; and will have done his/her/their own work with a therapist to keep his/her/their own mental health as a priority.

Please send your resume or CV to me, along with a cover letter that tells me a bit about you, and why you think Athena Counseling would be a good fit for you. You may email that information to jill.athenacounseling@gmail.com.
