Hello! Thank you for looking into our Associate Therapist position at Stronger Oregon. We have a new way for Oregon Board Registered Associates to render in-person/telehealth outpatient mental health services in Eastern Oregon. How is it different?
- You can work 30 hours a week and be full-time with benefits.
- You can work the 30 hours however you see fit, within a week, with only client's preferences for sessions being the constraint. Many people choose to work three 10 hour shifts 8-6pm. Imagine, 4 days off in a row permanently for the rest of your career.
- Of the 30 hours, you only need to SCHEDULE 24 hours of service. This means no productivity penalties for cancellations and working you to the bone all 40 hours.
- The 24 hours, of 30 worked, can be multiple hours of service for one client and their systems. Imagine being able to do the individual, family and family therapy without-client weekly. Case management and consultation as needed. No more restricted/constrained treatment that impacts quality and care.
- How about fair pay? Oregon Board licensed clinicians can make between $62,000-$140,000 annually based on their preferred compensation structure and hours of direct services. $62,000 a year is bare minimum part-time work. You get to choose and calibrate. This means a position with annual compensation of approximately $140,000 is your choice. It can be exceeded!
- Free MBSR, TFCBT and EMDR basic training for being Full-Time.
- Free Associate Supervision, paid for by Stronger Oregon, which is immediate and abundant. Presently you get to choose your supervisor from a group of Licensed Supervisors (if choice is possible). Start promptly and get to licensure at the fastest pace while also gaining the experience needed.
- Awesome benefits for Full-Time Providers with no monthly premiums for Health/Dental/Vision for the employee.
Our community needs you. Stronger Oregon is hiring for multiple associate therapists/counselors to serve children, adults, couples and families with services calibrated by your clinical determination. Provide mental health services the right way by having the freedom to see a client another time within the week, if needed, or do family therapy. Productivity pressure is significantly reduced and you have the freedom to breathe, cope and have a personal life.
There are 2 Full-Time Compensation Options for Associate Providers (ask about part-time).
- Option 1: Full Time Employment at 30 hours a week with a commission compensation setup of 50% from every insurance reimbursable service (For example: One of our insurance contracts reimburses $172 for a 60 minute Psychotherapy Session which would equal an approximately $86 commission for you). We ask that the clinician schedule a minimum of 24 direct service hours a week. This leads to an estimated annual wage/commissions of approximately $105k but that is if you just render 24 direct service hours a week. If you render an average of 28, you can make approximately $125k a year. If you render an average of 32 you can make approximately $140k a year. PTO/Sick Leave/Holiday Pay are paid at the hourly wage of $25.
- Option 2: FTE - 30 hours a week - $40 an hour with $50 bonuses per 1 hour of service beyond 21 in a week. We ask that the clinician schedule a minimum of 24 direct service hours a week. This leads to an annual wage of approximately $62,400 but that is if you just render 24 services. If you render an average of 28 direct service hours a week, you can make approximately $82k a year. If you render an average of 32 direct service hours a week, you can make approximately $91k a year. This allows you to not worry about no shows and commissions calculations. In addition to 401k/health/dental/vision benefits, there is 80 hours of PTO, 40 hours of sick leave and 10 paid holidays a year (80 hours) which is all paid at $40 an hour. Providers like the stability of this compensation option even if it is less. Your choice.
- You are welcome to work 40 hours a week, and make even more monetarily, but we believe giving you more time for your personal life allows you to be the best version of your professional self. We believe a 30hour work week directly correlates to better services for clients and better self-care for you. The positive is, you choose. Lets talk about what is the best work/life balance for you.

Filling your caseload can give you a sense of unease.
- We have filled the caseloads of hundreds of providers. I think we have a good track records.
- We are embedded in 12 school districts throughout Oregon (120+ schools). Possibly locally once the team grows.
- We offer telehealth services throughout Oregon so as to break down the geographic barriers to treatment.
- Referrals would match the demographics you would like to treat and you don't need to schedule every hour, just 24 of your 30 hour week if full time.
- Our website, www.StrongerOregon.com, is versatile and easy to navigate. It generates referrals directly for you.
- Altogether, we receive multiple referrals a day and we need you to give them the support they need. Our community needs you.
