Our Mission

Let’s face it, the VA can leave more than a little to be desired when it comes to caring for veterans' mental health and most civilian clinicians don’t understand the unique needs and culture of the military or that of first responders.

At Symmetry of Self Counseling Center, we believe the answer lies in more clinicians who directly understand that culture working in the private sector. We believe that seasoned private practice clinicians who are either veterans themselves or married to veterans, and who have firsthand experience with military culture, can offer unmatched support, understanding, and privacy to fellow veterans and their spouses seeking mental health care. Who better to care for these men and women than those who have experienced similar challenges firsthand?

With a holistic approach geared toward both the client AND the clinician, Symmetry offers clients and post-grad clinicians an environment that supports the mind-body connection through evidence-based interventions and benefits.

Symmetry’s core values (Creativity, Camaraderie, Compassion, and Commitment) are what we expect to serve our clients and bring to our staff.

Our Ideal Clinician

Symmetry is looking for military veterans or spouses of military veterans or first responders with an active New Jersey of Pennsylvania license (LAC, LSW, LPC, LCSW, LMFT) looking to work with other veterans or first responders and their spouses in various aspects of mental health (trauma, grief, transition, addiction, relationships, etc.).

We are looking for someone with a passion for working with veterans/first responders in a creative and down-to-earth way; someone who is interested in developing their skill set and learning different approaches for holistic wellness with emphasis on rapport building and camaraderie. We are interested in hiring therapist who are interested in learning and utilizing inner listening type approaches to therapy (IFS, Focusing, Compassionate Inquiry, Somatic, Polyvagal...)

Additionally, we are seeking candidates with a work ethic centered on integrity, accountability and dedication; someone who is able to take direction and feedback well and is organized and able to take initiative. We want our therapists to be hungry for learning and have a drive to create change.


Your Responsibilities
  • Conduct a variety of assessments and collect data to develop an individualized treatment approach and plan for clients
  • Monitor client progress and adjust treatment plans accordingly
  • Provide therapy using evidence-based modalities in the inner listening realm (IFS, Focusing, Compassionate Inquiry, Somatic, Polyvagal...)
  • Conduct individual counseling sessions (group counseling sessions optional)
  • Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation, including treatment plans and progress notes in accordance with insurance company contracts and Symmetry standards
  • Stay current with developments in the field of psychotherapy through professional development trainings
  • Providing referrals for additional care or services required to include but not limited to medication management, crisis intervention, or higher levels of care
  • Available for a minimum of 20 clinical hours/week, with some evening options
What We offer
We offer candidates a hybrid schedule dividing time between the office and working from home. 

We provide a warm and comfortable office for in-person sessions that has everything you could need to start as well as an easy-to-follow SOP with protocols for utilizing our technology/electronic health record system and tutorials/checklists for getting you quickly acclimated and onboarded.

We will be offering free supervision towards full licensure (for licensed associate counselors) and guidance in modalities such as IFS, EMDR, grief counseling, etc. 

Our benefits to all employees averaging 20+ clients per week:
  • Sick time
  • One week of paid vacation based on your average weekly caseload
  • An educational/training stipend of $400 to enhance your clinical skill set in your niche
  • Paid EMDR basic training 
  • Wellness benefits up to $400 to promote a healthy work-life balance
  • A workspace built on camaraderie and teamwork. 

Employees are required to work for 90 days to be eligible for vacation pay and education and wellness benefits.

Our pay scale varies depending on license, experience and certifications but at a flat rate (not a percentage). We believe this gives employees peace of mind that their paycheck will be as consistent as their schedule with no surprises. Employees are paid on a biweekly frequency via direct deposit. 
Our pay scale for 20+ clients per week:

LAC/LSW: $50-$56/session 
LPC/LCSW: $60-$72/session

We also recognize that many clinicians may want to spread their wings after attaining full licensure, and can provide our business coaching and practice planning services for those that want to pursue their own practice. This is available free of charge to fully licensed clinicians who have worked for us for 3 or more years
