Part-Time EMDR Clinician

About the role

Kentlands Psychotherapy is seeking an EMDR-trained clinician for part-time, in-person work. We treat trauma across the practice and have built a reputation for it over the past 20 years. We do not currently offer EMDR, and our community is asking for it. Callers request it by name, and we would rather meet that need with a skilled clinician than continue to refer it elsewhere.

This is a focused addition to existing expertise. You would join a doctoral-majority, fee-for-service group practice that has been independent and locally rooted since 2005. We are not in-network with insurance. We offer highly personalized, expert care in a setting designed for clinical depth rather than volume.

Who we are looking for

We have two clinicians in mind, and the structure of this role is built around them.

The first is a clinician with a full-time salaried position, often at an agency, hospital, school system, or government behavioral-health setting, who wants to add private-practice work without it becoming their livelihood. This arrangement suits clinicians who want exposure to private practice while keeping the security of their primary position. Because the practice is not your main source of income, there is no financial pressure shaping clinical decisions, which is a structure we value.

The second is an EMDR-trained clinician returning to the field after time away, whether for family or other reasons, who wants a flexible, low-pressure way to rebuild a caseload at a comfortable pace.

If you are early in your re-entry and daytime hours suit you best, we can accommodate that. We also have strong demand for evening and weekend availability, which often fits clinicians balancing this work with a full-time position.

Who this role is not for

We are not looking to fill this role with a clinician who operates their own private practice and is seeking part-time work to supplement it. We have found that the arrangement does not serve clients or the practice well, and we would rather be direct about that at the outset than discover the mismatch later.

What you bring

A current, unrestricted Maryland clinical license (Psychologist, LCSW-C, LCPC, or equivalent).
Completed EMDR training through an EMDRIA-approved program, with current, working competence in the modality. If you trained some time ago and would value a consultation to refresh your skills, we are glad to discuss it.
Experience treating trauma, and the clinical judgment to know when EMDR fits a given client and when it does not.
A collaborative temperament. We are a close team and care about how clinicians work with one another and with our client-care staff.

What we offer

A W-2, commission-based arrangement. We are happy to walk through how this works in detail.
A dedicated, well-appointed in-person room configured for your preferred method of delivering bilateral stimulation. Tell us what your setup requires, and we will make the space work for it.
Scheduling flexibility built around the hours that suit you, daytime, evening, or weekend.
Administrative and client-care support, so your time goes to clinical work rather than logistics.
A practice that takes clinical quality, ethics, and continuity of care seriously, and has for two decades.
