Outpatient Therapist — Fee for Service

There are people in Lincoln, Millinocket, East Millinocket, Medway, Howland, and Lee who need someone in their corner. Kids who are struggling in school. Adults who've been on a waitlist for months. Families that are stretched thin with nowhere close to turn. There aren't enough clinicians in this part of Maine, and the ones who are here are booked solid. MC Community Services is looking for a licensed clinician to join our outpatient therapy practice on a fee-for-service basis. You'll be a W-2 employee with full benefits — not a 1099 contractor — paid $50 per billable hour with no minimum hour requirements. Build the caseload and schedule that works for you. Your work will be supported by a team of Behavioral Health Professionals who deliver community-based services to many of the same families you'll be treating, giving you a fuller picture of each member's life than most outpatient clinicians get. This role is for someone who wants to control their own schedule, earn well for the hours they work, and do it with the stability of W-2 employment and benefits behind them. What You'll Do Conduct Comprehensive Assessments as defined under Section 65 — integrated evaluations of each member's medical and psycho-social needs, including screening for co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions, using current DSM diagnostic criteria Determine medical necessity for services and develop Individualized Treatment Plans (ITPs) based on assessment findings Provide individual, family, and group therapy for children and adults in an outpatient office setting using evidence-based treatment practices Collaborate with BHP staff, families, schools, and other providers as part of a coordinated treatment team Apply Trauma Informed Care principles across all service delivery and member interactions Maintain timely clinical documentation in compliance with MaineCare requirements, including signed and credentialed assessments, treatment plans, and progress notes What we're looking for Fully licensed (LCSW, LCPC): Clinical independence to manage your caseload with support from leadership, not micromanagement. Set your schedule, build your hours, and earn accordingly. Conditionally licensed (LMSW-cc, LCPC-c): Welcome to apply. We provide clinical supervision toward full licensure at no cost to you. Our Clinical Director holds an LCSW, LADC, and CCS and will serve as your supervisor.

We've been providing behavioral health services to children, adults, and families the greater Lincoln area since 2009, delivering outpatient behavioral health services under Section 65 and rehabilitative community support services under Section 28 of the MaineCare Benefits Manual across Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Washington counties. We're a small, locally owned agency. Our staff live in the same communities as the families we serve. The impact isn't abstract. It's personal. We're not a big healthcare system with layers of bureaucracy. We're a small, caring team of people who show up every day for families that don't have a lot of other options. If that's the kind of work that drives you, we want to talk.
