WorkING at
Triska Psychotherapy

My practice is dedicated to providing above-market compensation, a full suite of health and retirement benefits, and a work environment that nurtures talented early-career therapists with continuous learning and professional autonomy. Learn more about working here below.

future openings

Because Triska Psychotherapy focuses on training early-career therapists, vacancies are an expected part of the practice’s operations as therapists receive their independent licenses and start their own practices or move on to other opportunities. While I’m not actively recruiting to fill a vacant position at the moment, I’m always happy to consider an inquiry from the right candidate. You can upload your résumé at the bottom of the page and I’ll get in touch if there’s an opening in the future that fits your skills.

compensation

All staff at my practice are W-2 employees.* I offer staff therapists a 60% fee split and $30 per hour for documentation, supervision, training, and other administrative work, with a fee split increase to 65% after one year of employment once you meet your revenue target.

Staff therapists set their own rates and can offer sliding scale rates and single-case agreements. The required caseload for staff therapists is a minimum of 15 clients per week. You can see current therapists’ rates here (typically in the $200-300 range for out-of-network/out-of-pocket therapy).

*BTW, that’s the law. If you’re a 1099 contractor as a pre-licensed therapist, your practice is breaking laws related to LMSW and MHC-LP supervision, putting your license at risk, and misclassifying you to the IRS in order to pass their payroll tax burden onto you.

health, retirement , and education benefits

  • Employer-subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance with choice of plan type, affordable premiums, low deductibles/co-pays, and option to add spouse/partner and children (full-time employees only)

  • Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA)

  • 401(k) retirement plan with employer match

  • Paid sick leave

  • $200 per year in continuing education reimbursement

Other benefits

  • Employer-paid membership to the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF)

  • Subsidized conference fees

  • Employer-paid malpractice insurance

  • Individual and group clinical supervision

  • 9-week structured training in ERP- and ACT-based treatment of OCD, anxiety, and hoarding

  • Space to see clients in person at the Midtown office

  • Flexible, self-directed work schedule

  • Minimal documentation and billing due to private pay/out-of-network practice model

  • No non-compete agreement (they’re unethical, unenforceable, and soon to be illegal both in NY and federally) so you can take your clients with you when you leave

This might be the right workplace for you if…

  • You’re a learning fiend and want to grow your skills in modalities like existential psychotherapy, ERP, and ACT with training and supervision from an experienced therapist

  • You have an in-depth level of knowledge of queer and trans identities and the clinical skills to create a sense of safety around gender and sexuality for your clients

  • You’re interested in treating anxiety disorders, including OCD and hoarding

  • You need a high degree of flexibility and respect for your clinical judgment to thrive in a workplace

  • You’re looking for a neurodivergence-friendly practice where your boundaries and autonomy are respected

  • You’re comfortable helping to build your caseload (or transferring your current one)

  • You’re interested in taking the initiative to start a group or program

Get in touch about job openings

Accessibility note: We are proud to be a autistic-led and neurodivergent-majority practice. We know hiring processes can suck in a variety of ways if you have a neurodevelopmental or other condition that affects your ability to participate in the hiring process, especially if you worry you don’t interview well, get anxious talking about yourself, or have special interview needs. Please know that we try our best to make our evaluations holistic and not overly focused on any part of the process, and that we don’t treat employment gaps as negatives. If you’re contacted for an interview, feel free to ask for anything that might help put your strengths forward, such as getting the questions ahead of time or having a support person present. You can also send us any information that would help us evaluate you, such as writing samples or interesting projects you’ve taken part in, even if they’re unrelated to the job. We are always looking for unexpected talents and stuff like “made a simulation of the airport TSA process to measure efficiency" or “moderated a Supernatural fanfic site with thousands of active users” demonstrate genuine transferable skills.
