SalaryHealing Hope Community, Inc. (HHCI) is one of Maryland’s newest non-profit mental health organizations. HHCI prides itself in being a clinician-led organization committed to strengthening and enhancing the lives of individuals experiencing mental health challenges in the community. We aspire to be a leading non-profit mental health organization that prioritizes the needs of our clients and personnel, which ultimately places everyone in a position to be successful and thrive in their environments.
HHCI has begun its search for Psychotherapists who will initially be hired as part-time or full-time 1099 independent contractors. As the organization grows, Psychotherapists will have the option to join the team as part-time or full-time employees with benefits.
HHCI believes in investing in and compensating clinicians fairly, which is 55 - 60% of the insurance rates. Clinicians can expect to make between $28.60 - $157.24 per session, which depends on the session type, session length, and the health insurance company that the client is a member of.
The remaining percentages are utilized for administrative, operational, and other clinical purposes required to sustain the organization. We believe in transparency as it pertains to compensation, and are open to discussing these purposes in more detail with candidates who are interested.
This position is primarily remote, but will require Psychotherapists to report to the office (located in Baltimore, MD) as needed. This need will be determined and communicated to the Psychotherapists by the Clinical Director/CEO.
