make meaningful work your day job

A team structured for sustainability, authenticity and impact.

At DBT of South Jersey, we’re building something special — and we’re always open to meeting clinicians who feel aligned with our mission. Though we are not actively hiring right now, we’re always listening. If you’re someone who’s energized at the idea of being a top tier therapist when it comes to clinical skill, offering full fidelity DBT as part of a Linehan Board Certified Program, trauma-aware care, and being part of a collaborative, supportive team culture — we’d love to hear from you.

Who we are

We’re a values-driven practice rooted in compassion, connection, and a commitment to doing excellent work — with and for our clients. Our team is deeply committed to anti-oppressive, identity-affirming care. We expect our clinicians to approach their work with cultural humility and a willingness to grow their capacity to serve clients across race, gender, sexuality, neurotype, and lived experience. If you’re someone who reflects on your impact and shows up with both integrity and openness, you’ll likely thrive here.

This is not a stepping-stone kind of place. If you’re looking for a team where you can grow, contribute, and be part of something meaningful — welcome home. We offer a supportive, structured environment led by some of the only Linehan Board-Certified DBT therapists in New Jersey. Our team culture and training make true transformation possible. Perks include:

  • 🧠 Weekly DBT consultation team
  • 📞 Phone coaching for clients (with shared rotation coverage)
  • 📚 Skills training groups for teens, parents, adults, and graduates
  • 🧑‍🏫 1:1 supervision and mentorship for personal and professional growth
  • 🎓 Ongoing training in DBT, ART, EXRP, Gottman, neurodiversity-informed care, and more
  • 🧘 Holistic wellness offerings like trauma-informed yoga and reiki

We serve children, teens, young adults, and families navigating big emotions, impulsivity, trauma, and life transitions — and we love what we do.

Clinicians Who Thrive With US

We tend to be a good fit for clinicians who:

Are currently licensed in New Jersey (required)

📚 Are seeking DBT training or to deepen their existing DBT work

🎨 Value structure, creativity, and community in their clinical work

🕓 Are looking for a flexible schedule vs. a 9–5

🚀 Consider themselves a self-starter, quick-action type — motivated to do what works in order to be successful

💬 Show up in authenticity — with humor, humility, and an open mind

 

We’re especially excited to connect with clinicians who are seeking long-term clinical growth and want to be part of something meaningful.

Commitment to inclusion

Healing happens best in spaces where people feel seen, respected, and safe. That’s true for clients — and just as true for clinicians. We’re intentional about cultivating an inclusive, anti-oppressive culture, and we actively value the perspectives of those whose voices have been historically marginalized in mental health.

We recognize that identity, culture, and lived experience shape how we show up — in the therapy room and in the world. We’re building a team that not only understands this, but honors it.

We support one another in showing up fully and authentically — not just in theory, but in action. That means making space for hard conversations, holding each other with accountability and care, and approaching the work with both humility and courage. If that sounds like a culture you’d want to be part of, we’d love to hear from you.

sustainable work + Meaningful Impact

Our full-time clinicians work smarter — not harder. With an average of 23 direct client hours across a 48-week year, most team members work about 32 hours per week over four days. That leaves space for rest, life, and continued growth. This isn’t a traditional salaried role. Outside of sessions, a 90-minute weekly consultation team, supervision, and the occasional mandatory meeting — your time is your own. Our compensation model is designed to help you earn more while working less, with the option to take on additional clients if you choose.

Private Practice flexibility with the support and benefits of working with a team. Our clinicians earn commission for each session, with provisionally licensed staff earning 40% of income generated for their clinical work, and independently licensed clinicians earning 50% of income generated for their clinical work. Provisionally licensed clinicians typically earn $56,000+, while independently licensed clinicians generally earn between $75,000 and $95,000+ annually.  However, this is based on 4 weeks off per year and 23 direct hours per week. With this payment model, there’s no cap on your income potential. Our total compensation package — including benefits, paid training, supervision, wellness stipends, and more — adds up to more than just a paycheck. We invest in you, so you can invest in your clients and your quality of life.
