Mental Health Professional (LMFT, LMHC, LICSW) Contractor Position in Independent Group Practice (Tacoma, Silverdale)

Do you find yourself interested in a career in psychotherapy, but don't want the headaches of running your own private practice? Would you like to work in a group practice where you work among colleagues and have access to practice referrals and office amenities? Do you have little interest in marketing, billing, navigating the insurance billing and being financially responsible for business and start-up costs? Do you feel overwhelmed by the prospect of submitting claims, billing your clients, and answering insurance questions?

Consider joining our team at Northwest Relationships! We are an established independent group practice based out of downtown Tacoma, WA located on Pacific Avenue overlooking Commencement Bay and the Thea Foss Waterway.
