Licensed Psychologist (PhD/PsyD) — Clinical Director Track (Part-Time)

Life Centered Therapy | Watertown, Waltham & Remote (Hybrid) | $100–$125/hour

Life Centered Therapy is hiring a licensed clinical psychologist for a part-time role on an explicit Clinical Director succession track. This is designed for a psychologist who wants to do the deepest clinical work of their career, develop the next generation of clinicians, and help shape the future of a practice that is genuinely doing something different in the field.

We are hiring with intention. The right candidate will not just fill a caseload — they will grow into clinical leadership over a defined multi-year track, with compensation, responsibility, and scope expanding alongside their contribution.

WHAT MAKES LIFE CENTERED THERAPY DIFFERENT

At the core of our practice is the LCT Five Step Protocol — a proprietary somatic-experiential method developed over decades of clinical refinement by our founder, Dr. Andrew Hahn.

The Five Step Protocol is not a framework layered onto traditional talk therapy. It is a complete, repeatable, clinically rigorous approach to resolving the unconscious patterns, somatic imprints, and traumatic material that keep clients stuck — particularly the clients who have already been through years of prior therapy without meaningful change.

If you have trained in somatic, experiential, or depth-oriented modalities — IFS, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Hakomi, AEDP, sensorimotor psychotherapy, or related approaches — and have felt the limits of practicing without an integrated protocol, the LCT method will feel like the clinical home you have been looking for. Our clinicians consistently describe this as the work they always wanted to be doing.

You will be trained directly by Dr. Hahn and our senior clinical staff.

ROLE STRUCTURE (PART-TIME)

- 10-15 clinical sessions per week with your own client caseload
- 2 hours per week attending our group supervision and case consultation
- Supervise 3-5 pre-licensed clinicians on our team
- Full autonomy over your schedule within these expectations
- Hybrid or fully remote — your call

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Required
- PhD or PsyD in clinical or counseling psychology from an APA-accredited program
- Licensed as a psychologist in Massachusetts with HSP designation
- Active NPI with clinical psychologist taxonomy (103TC0700X) — or willingness to update prior to credentialing
- Credentialed with — or willing to be credentialed with — Aetna, Cigna, Optum/UHC, and BCBS MA
- Eligible under Massachusetts regulations to supervise pre-licensed clinicians
- Genuine interest in somatic, experiential, or depth-oriented clinical work
- Clinical curiosity and intellectual rigor

Ideal
- Prior training in somatic, experiential, or trauma-focused modalities (IFS, SE, EMDR, Hakomi, AEDP, sensorimotor, or similar)
- Experience supervising pre-licensed clinicians and reviewing supervisee documentation
- Existing panel credentialing with major MA commercial payers
- Interest in clinical leadership, teaching, and practice-building

WHY OUR CLINICIANS STAY

Most group practices in Massachusetts run on the same model: 28 to 32 sessions per week, a productivity dashboard, and a career built around volume. That model produces burnout and mediocre care.

We have built something different. The work itself is the reason to stay here. You will be part of a team doing therapy that changes lives rather than manages symptoms — with the schedule, support, training, and compensation infrastructure to do it sustainably for decades. You will teach. You will grow. You will be trusted with clinical judgment.

If you want to do clinical work you will be proud of in twenty years, and help build the practice that does it, we should talk.

Pay: $100.00 - $125.00 per hour
