An established, award-winning child and family group practice in Northern Virginia, recognized by local readers and editors as one of the area's best mental health practices, and a place where clinicians put down roots; average tenure is 7+ years.

Here, you don't practice alone. You see the child or teen while a colleague sees the parent down the hall, or the other way around. You bring a tough case to weekly team consultation and leave with three new ideas. After a hard session, someone is there.

The culture is simple: build real connections, do the everyday work exceptionally well, do the right thing, and go further than expected for the families you serve. That shows up with clients, with the pediatricians and schools who refer, and with each other.

The practice says the priority order out loud: you and your family first, then the families you serve. That's why pay is hourly fee-for-service with a quarterly bonus instead of a salary, so your caseload can flex with your life and a busy caseload pays you more. Because it's W2, the practice also pays your malpractice, your license fees, and a retirement match, which a 1099 practice can't offer.

• Build a specialty. Expand on what you love doing or develop one you're curious about (anxiety, trauma, ADHD, eating disorders, parenting, and more). The practice builds a referral stream around it. Bring the interest and drive, and we'll help you build it.

• Keep your assessment skills sharp. A mix of therapy and psychological and psychoeducational evaluations, with testing supplies and ongoing peer consultation provided.

• Learn from the team every week. Case consultation, in-house didactics, and colleagues who share what's working.

• Invest in advanced training. $1,000 a year in continuing education after two years, plus a sabbatical benefit of up to $8,000 toward an advanced certification as you build tenure.

• Grow into leadership. Room to build programs or supervise trainees.

Billing, intake scheduling, and correspondence are handled by administrative staff. Referrals come from years of relationships with area pediatricians, schools, and counselors. A waitlist means your caseload fills in months, not a year of marketing yourself.

𝗣𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀

• Licensed psychologists at 18+ clinical hours a week typically earn $120,000 or more; the full range is $60,000 to $170,000+ by licensure and clinical hours

• Fee-for-service pay, so your caseload can flex with your life, plus a quarterly bonus that rises with your weekly client hours

• W2 employment, with the employer share of payroll tax paid, group malpractice coverage, and Virginia license fees reimbursed with no waiting period

• Simple IRA with a 1:1 match up to 3% after one year

• Access to health, dental, and vision insurance

• Paid time off as a cash bonus that grows with tenure: a paid week each year from the July after your first full year, and a second week after five years

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸

• Cases curated to your interests and strengths, building to about 22 clinical hours a week

• Monday to Friday, afternoons and early evenings, primarily in person with some telehealth, and room for weekends if you choose

• Weekly team meetings and an annual retreat that are central to how the team works together

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲

• Licensed psychologists (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) in Virginia, or ready for Virginia licensure by endorsement

• Postdocs and psychology residents are welcome to apply; supervision toward Virginia licensure is available in-house

• People who light up working with kids, teens, and parents, and who can shift from playful to professional in the same afternoon

• Team players who value collaboration, accountability, and staying connected with a client's other providers

• Clinicians who want a long-term home, not a stopover

Probably not a fit if you need a strictly daytime schedule (kids are in school until 3) or you'd rather share a lobby than a team.
