Fully Licensed Mental Health Clinician (LPC, LCSW, LMFT)

Veteran & First Responder Mental Health

Location: Norman, Oklahoma | Hybrid Opportunities

Compensation: $40–$45/hour, based on experience

Employment: W-2 | Part-Time to Full-Time

Start Part-Time. Grow Into Full-Time. Make a Difference.

Inner Circle Mental Health is seeking a fully licensed mental health clinician to join our growing team specializing in mental health care for veterans, first responders, healthcare professionals, and their families.

Our mission is to provide exceptional, culturally informed, evidence-based mental health care to individuals working in professions where confidentiality, trust, and clinical competence are especially important.

We understand that building a full caseload takes time. That's why we've developed a structured 90-day transition from part-time to full-time employment, allowing clinicians to gradually increase their caseload while receiving administrative support and established referrals.

We have clients ready for care and are looking for the right clinician to serve them.

The Opportunity

This position begins part-time, with the goal of transitioning into a full-time caseload of approximately 30 completed clinical sessions per week within 90 days.

Clinicians provide individual, couples, or family psychotherapy based on their training, qualifications, and clinical interests.

Common areas of treatment include:

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex trauma
Occupational stress, burnout, and critical incident exposure
Military and first responder mental health
Anxiety, depression, and adjustment difficulties
Relationship and family concerns
Grief, loss, and life transitions
Stress associated with high-risk and high-demand professions

Our clinicians work with firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS personnel, dispatchers, military veterans, healthcare professionals, and their families, as well as members of the broader community.

Compensation & Benefits

We offer competitive hourly compensation with a productivity-based model rather than a fixed annual salary.

$40–$45 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications
W-2 employment
Structured part-time to full-time transition
Flexible scheduling
Established referral sources and caseload-building support
Administrative, scheduling, billing, and credentialing support
Clinical consultation and team collaboration
Opportunities for specialized professional development
Health insurance eligibility for qualifying employees
401(k) access
Paid time off for eligible employees

Compensation is based on completed clinical sessions and other compensable work. Full-time transition is a target dependent on caseload availability and performance.

Minimum Qualifications

Active, unrestricted Oklahoma license as an LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or equivalent independently licensed mental health professional
Ability to independently assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions within the scope of licensure
Experience providing evidence-based psychotherapy
Strong clinical documentation and professional communication skills
Commitment to ethical practice, confidentiality, and culturally responsive care
Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary clinical team

Preferred Qualifications

We are particularly interested in applicants who bring one or more of the following:

Military or veteran experience, including prior military service, military family experience, or professional experience serving veteran populations
First responder experience, including prior service in law enforcement, fire, EMS, emergency dispatch, or professional experience working with public safety personnel
Experience treating PTSD, occupational trauma, or cumulative stress exposure
Training or certification in EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), or other evidence-based trauma treatments
Experience providing couples or family therapy
Bilingual proficiency, particularly English and Spanish, with the clinical language skills necessary to provide psychotherapy in both languages
Experience working with healthcare professionals or other high-stress occupational populations

Military or first responder experience is strongly valued but is not required. We welcome clinicians interested in developing specialized expertise in these populations.

Why Inner Circle?

Inner Circle Mental Health was created to address a critical gap in mental health care: access to clinicians who understand the professional cultures, experiences, and confidentiality concerns of veterans and first responders.

We don't believe clinicians should have to choose between meaningful work and professional support.

Our practice provides the infrastructure necessary to deliver high-quality clinical care while minimizing the administrative burden associated with independent practice.

We value clinical excellence, confidentiality, accountability, collaboration, and continued professional development.

We're looking for clinicians who share those values and want to build a lasting career serving people who spend their lives serving others.

If you're an independently licensed Oklahoma clinician who is passionate about trauma-informed care, veteran mental health, first responder wellness, or culturally responsive psychotherapy, we'd like to hear from you.
