Careers at Therapy Group of DC
We do long-term psychotherapy with people who are ready to do it. That’s the common thread across our practice: not a single orientation, but a shared belief that the deepest change happens over time, in a sustained relationship, with someone who can hold complexity.
Our clinicians work from a range of traditions: psychodynamic, relational, humanistic, CBT, ACT, family systems, trauma-focused, EFT, and more.
No Open Positions Right Now
We’re not actively hiring at the moment, but we’re always glad to hear from clinicians who’d like to be considered when a position opens. Send us your CV.
Who We Look For
- Licensed to practice independently in the District of Columbia in psychology, clinical social work, professional counseling, or marriage and family therapy
- Real experience doing long-term individual therapy with adults
- A developing clinical identity: a sense of how you work, why you work that way, and how to hold the frame of ongoing work
- Real experience with LGBTQ+ clients and a committed stance on affirming care
- Skill at working across difference, and thoughtfulness about how identity and context shape the clinical work
- Couples training is a meaningful plus, not a requirement
What the Work Actually Looks Like
Your clients tend to be motivated, psychologically aware adults, mostly working professionals, who take therapy seriously and stay in it. The practice handles referrals, billing, admin, and marketing. Those are the parts of this profession that have gotten harder, not easier. Your job is the clinical work.
Our positions are full-time W-2 roles with health insurance and 401(k) matching.
Beyond Your Caseload
We run Capital Therapy Project, our training clinic, where advanced doctoral students see clients for less than half the typical DC fee. It’s how we bring therapy to people who couldn’t otherwise afford it. Psychologists on our team supervise the students through their year-long placements, so there’s room to teach and train the next generation of clinicians.
A Word About What This Isn’t
Most clinicians spend at least a few years assuming they’ll eventually open their own practice. We get it. Most of us thought the same thing. But a lot of us also realized, somewhere along the way, that running a practice isn’t what we fell in love with.
If you want the autonomy of solo, go for it. It’s the right call for many people who want to own a practice or thrive in the business of running one. But if you’ve started to wonder whether going solo is what you actually want, or just what you think you’re supposed to want, this might be worth a conversation. We all ended up here on purpose.
