Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a clinician who is self-driven, direct, and genuinely invested in doing good work with kids & teens ages 5 and up, and the families raising them. The ideal candidate brings training, or a real interest in developing training, in evidence-based approaches to child and adolescent therapy, including RPT, CCPT, PCIT, and others and is comfortable working with parents as part of the treatment picture, not around it.


You hold healthy professional boundaries, communicate clearly, and treat learning as part of the job, not just a box to check. You are affirming of all people and all family structures, without exception.


Active Maryland licensure in a counseling field is required. Additional licensure in DC or Virginia is a plus.


What You Will Do

Conduct individual therapy sessions with children and/or parents within the scope of evidence-based practice.


Provide thorough assessment and orient clients and families to the practice and scope of therapeutic work.


Maintain confidentiality of client records and keep files current with clear, diligent clinical notes.


Attend weekly staff meetings.


Consult with other members of a client's treatment team, whether internal or external to MCCC.


Maintain supervision in accordance with licensure needs, or complete supervision toward full clinical licensure if applicable. Supervision is provided by MCCC's clinical director.


Engage in ongoing learning to grow your clinical skill, not just to meet requirements. It's one of our values, not a formality.


Practice ethically in accordance with your profession's code of ethics.


Caseload

Clinicians at MCCC currently carry an average caseload of 18 clients, with a goal of building to 22-25 as you settle into the role. We grow caseloads intentionally, not overnight.


Supervision and Support

We invest in our clinicians at every level.


Graduate-level clinicians (LG) receive required weekly individual supervision with our clinical director throughout their employment until they reach full licensure. This is not just a checkbox, it's part of how we develop people.


Fully licensed clinicians (LC) meet with the clinical director at least monthly for the first three months, with supervision continuing monthly or as needed based on mutual preference and clinical need. Every clinician starts


Pay Structure & Benefits

MCCC clinicians are W-2 employees. Every clinician starts on hourly pay ($95/session) for their first 90 days while building a case load. After that, you can choose to move to salary for more predictability and PTO, or stay hourly if that works better for you. We can revisit this choice anytime.


All employees are eligible for health insurance on Day 1. We offer FSA and DCFSA. Every full time clinician gets $500 in CEU reimbursement annually. After 1 year, employees are eligible for 401(k) with employer match.


Where You'll Work

Our Rockville office was built to feel like a living room, not a waiting room. We combine in-person care with telehealth in a hybrid model that supports both great client care and a sustainable schedule for our team.
