About Catalyst

Part-Time Licensed CBT Therapist (LICSW or LMHC)

Who this is for

You’re a licensed therapist (LICSW or LMHC) who practices from a CBT framework and is seeking a part-time opportunity that works well alongside an existing role in a hospital system, academic medical center, or related setting. You value structured, evidence-based work, strong clinical standards, and consultation that improves outcomes. You’re energized by the chance to keep developing specialty skills in high-impact, in-demand areas of treatment.

Catalyst Psychology is a clinician-led, evidence-based practice serving goal-oriented adolescents (16+) and adults with a primary focus on anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and insomnia/sleep concerns.

What you’ll do

  • Provide individual outpatient therapy grounded in CBT and related evidence-based approaches.
  • Maintain an average caseload of 6-10 client sessions/week.
  • Deliver active, goal-oriented sessions (skills practice, behavioral experiments, exposure-based work when appropriate, measurement-informed progress).
  • Complete documentation accurately and on time.
  • Participate in CBT-focused consultation/training as part of ongoing clinical development.

Schedule flexibility

We built this role for therapists who need real flexibility while still meeting client demand:

  • Part-time structure with a clear target:  6-10 sessions/week on average 
  • Minimum availability requirement: at least one evening per week scheduled for clients (a consistent weekly evening block)
  • Hybrid, telehealth, or in-person options (Newton, MA)

Scheduling is flexible and collaborative: you set your availability, we align it with client demand, and the Clinical Director partners with you to build a consistent weekly schedule.

CBT-first, with a path to specialization

We’re explicitly looking for therapists who:

  • Lead with CBT case formulation and intervention
  • Want to deepen technical skill
  • Are excited to specialize in two or more of our core tracks:
    • Anxiety disorders (CBT, exposure-based work)
    • OCD (ERP-informed treatment within a CBT framework)
    • ADHD (skills-based CBT, executive functioning supports)
    • Insomnia / sleep (CBT-I and behavioral sleep intervention)

You don’t need to arrive specialized in everything. You do need to be CBT-driven and interested in building expertise.

Training & clinical support

  • Structured onboarding and ramp-up support
  • Ongoing CBT-focused consultation and shared tools/frameworks
  • Training/mentorship focused on anxiety, ADHD, and insomnia/CBT-I (with OCD specialization opportunities as relevant)
  • Clinician-run environment with strong operational support (so your energy goes into clinical work)

Compensation & employment basics

  • Flat rate per completed clinical session (W-2)
  • Guaranteed pay for your first two months, plus per-session compensation as you build your caseload.
  • 401(k) with employee contribution option
  • Practice provides operational infrastructure (billing/EHR/admin support)
  • Malpractice coverage provided by the practice

Qualifications

  • Licensed Therapist (LICSW or LMHC) in Massachusetts
  • Strong CBT training and a clear commitment to CBT as a primary modality
  • Interest in specializing in anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and/or insomnia
  • Reliability: consistent availability, documentation follow-through, ethical practice standards
  • Ability to offer at least one evening per week for clients
