✨We’re Hiring!✨

Trauma-Informed Therapist Mom (Part-Time or Full-Time)

Location: Hybrid (Downers Grove, IL + Telehealth)

Caseload: 15–25+ sessions/week (flexible scheduling)

Hey there, fellow therapist-mom.

Are you dreaming of a private practice role where you can do meaningful trauma work, build a niche you love, and still have space to be a whole human?

We’ve got a seat at the GGC table with your name on it.

At Grace & Gratitude Counseling, we’re all about #womenservingwomen. We specialize in supporting women and teen girls through the hard stuff — anxiety, trauma, anger, identity, relationships, and that deeply-felt sense of never being enough. Our caseloads are full of real-life women doing brave, messy, gorgeous work — and they’re waiting for you.

Whether you’re EMDR-trained, IFS-curious, or trauma-savvy with your own approach, we want to hear about it. What we really need right now is a fellow mom — we’ve got a waitlist full of clients looking for a therapist who "gets it"!

🌱What You'll Do:

• Provide individual therapy for adult women and/or teen girls, using EMDR, IFS, or other trauma-informed magic
• Develop a specialty niche within women’s mental health — we’ll help you grow it!
• Enjoy a flexible schedule and a thoughtfully curated caseload
• Collaborate with a warm, funny, emotionally-intelligent team (we love memes and metaphor)
• Optional opportunities for extra income through:
  • Blog writing
  • Mental health snippets for social media
  • Facilitating groups & workshops
  • Leading Lunch & Learns or CEU trainings
  • Running therapy intensives

💭Our Clients Are Working Through:

• Complex PTSD & relational trauma
• Panic & chronic anxiety
• Toxic perfectionism + overfunctioning
• Anger, shame, and difficulty accessing emotion
• Co-dependency, people-pleasing, and boundary work
• Motherhood & parenting stress
• Tricky relationships and attachment dynamics
• And <your niche here> — truly, we can’t wait to hear about it!

✅ You’re Likely a Fit If:

• You’re licensed in Illinois (LCPC/LCSW preferred; LPC/LSW considered)
• You’ve got 2+ years post-grad clinical experience
• You specialize in, or are passionate about, anxiety & trauma treatment
• You’re open to telehealth and online scheduling
• You’re based in Illinois and legally authorized to work in the U.S.
• You’re a mom

🟡 Part-Time: ~15+ client sessions/week

🟢 Full-Time: ~24+ client sessions/week

🌈 Bonus Points If You:

• Are trained in EMDR, IFS, or another trauma-focused model
• Work from an integrated Christian worldview (not required, but always welcome)

💵 Compensation + Benefits:

Part-Time (W2, 15+ clients/week):

• $50–$55 per clinical hour (based on experience)
• $20/hour for admin time
• Flexible hybrid schedule
• Monthly tech/internet stipend
• Professional liability insurance
• Monthly group supervision + optional individual supervision
• CEU opportunities
• Unlimited Time Off (yes, really)

All the above plus:
