Licensed Mental Health Therapist - Private Practice

Join the Wildwood Counseling Services Team

Wildwood Counseling Services is growing, and we’re excited to welcome both part-time and full-time therapists to our team.

We’re a private group practice in Toledo, OH, built around the belief that good therapy happens when clinicians feel supported, valued, and able to show up as real humans. As our referral volume continues to increase, we’re also expanding into additional office suites in our building, creating more space and flexibility for in-person work in the months ahead.

If you’re looking for a practice that prioritizes ethical care, sustainability, and genuine connection — with clients and colleagues — Wildwood may be a great fit.

About Wildwood

Wildwood Counseling Services is an affirming, inclusive practice that serves a large LGBTQIA+ population, while also supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families from many backgrounds and life stages.

Our culture is intentionally collaborative and non-hierarchical. We value autonomy, transparency, and growth — and we believe clinicians do their best work when they’re not burned out, micromanaged, or boxed into rigid systems.

Many of our clinicians are neurodivergent, queer, parents, caregivers, creatives, or simply humans balancing a lot — and we honor that.

What It’s Like to Work Here

• Part-time or full-time options available
• In-person, remote, or hybrid schedules, depending on your preference and availability
• Expanding physical space — we’re actively adding offices and creating more in-person opportunities
• Fully furnished offices, with kid-friendly spaces as we grow
• Billing, referrals, scheduling, and EHR support handled for you
• Weekly, predictable pay
• Weekly incentive structure that increases reimbursement for sessions completed over 20 per week
• 1099 independent contractor role — no long-term contracts or pressure to stay
• Supervision available for clinicians working toward independent licensure (LISW) / Stipend program offered for external LPCC supervision
• Training reimbursement after six months of contract work
• Psychiatric support within the practice, including PMHNPs who prescribe for Ohio and Michigan clients
• A practice owner who is present, accessible, and invested in doing this the right way

We’ve also supported several clinicians in eventually launching their own private practices when the time felt right — we believe growth looks different for everyone.

The Role

• Part-time or full-time therapist
• Full-time clinicians typically average 20+ sessions per week
• Provide outpatient therapy to individuals (and couples/groups if desired)
• Work with populations and clinical areas that align with your interests and strengths

Compensation

• $55 per 53-minute session (LSW)
• $60 per 53-minute session (LISW)
• Paid weekly
• Paid no-shows when applicable
• Increased per-session reimbursement through weekly incentives once over 20 sessions/week

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s degree in Social Work or a related field
• Active Ohio LSW, LPC, or LISW, LPCC license
• Clinical experience preferred (newer clinicians welcome with strong support needs identified)
• At least one clinical niche or area of passion
• Comfort working independently while being part of a collaborative team
• Strong alignment with affirming, inclusive care (LGBTQIA+ affirming is non-negotiable)

A Few Final Notes

We don’t hire based solely on numbers or rigid expectations. We care much more about fit, energy, values, and how someone wants to grow — both clinically and personally.

If you’re looking for a place that feels steady, supportive, and human — and where you can build a caseload that actually works for your life — we’d love to hear from you.
