Independent Contract Therapist: The Resilience Center of Houston – The Woodlands
8665 New Trails Dr Suite 185, The Woodlands, TX 77381
Are you a licensed professional looking to practice independently in private practice without the headache of managing billing, marketing, and commercial leases? As a practice management platform and professional collective, we are seeking clinicians (LCSW, LPC, LMFT) to partner with us as Independent Contract Therapists. Our core business is the delivery of high-tier administrative, operational, branding, marketing, and billing infrastructure designed to support independent mental health professionals, so they can focus entirely on their clients.
Who We Are
The Resilience Center of Houston is owned and operated by a licensed clinician, not a faceless corporation. Founded in 2012 by Dr. Jenny Burkholder, LPC, LMFT, our practice is deeply committed to providing compassionate, ethical treatment and believes that exceptional mental health care begins by respecting and fully supporting the comprehensive needs of the clinicians. If you are looking for a collaborative, warm atmosphere to practice without administrative headaches, we want to hear from you.
What We Offer
We reduce the operational hassles of running a solo practice so you can focus entirely on clinical work:
Complete Administrative Support: We handle the logistics of paneling with insurance companies, scheduling, billing, client collections, insurance claim follow-ups, and practice marketing so you can focus entirely on the clinical work.
Consistent Referral Pipeline: Benefit from a steady stream of incoming client inquiries matching your preferred populations. The volume of referrals and active practice waitlist allows therapists to rapidly scale up to their desired caseload goals, often within 6 weeks of onboarding.
Warm, Inviting Office Spaces: Access to beautifully designed, calming office suites for face-to-face sessions.
Premium EHR Access: Utilize the HIPAA compliant Electronic Health Record system (Therapy Appointment) for seamless documentation and optional AI documentation integration.
Professional Camaraderie: Benefit from a peer-led team culture where independent clinicians can share ideas, access optional peer consultation groups, and celebrate professional milestones.
Clinical Control
As an Independent Contractor, you make the decisions on the types of clients you want to see and the types of therapy you want to offer.
Client Populations: children, teens, adults, geriatric
Client Systems: individual therapy, couples counseling, family therapy
Place of Service: in-office versus virtual therapy from home
Treatment Frequency and Termination: You decide how often clients need to be seen and when treatment should end.
Right of Refusal: The therapist must have the absolute right to accept or decline any client referred to them by the practice without penalty.
Clinical Approach: You retain sole clinical judgment over your approach, treatment modalities, and interventions (e.g., DBT, EMDR, ACT, ERP, etc.).
Professional Autonomy
As an Independent Contractor, you retain full operational control over your work:
Schedule Flexibility: You determine your own weekly availability and manage your own schedule (morning, afternoons, evenings, and weekends available).
Set Your Caseload: Set Your Caseload: You have full control over your volume with no mandatory minimum or maximum caseload restriction. Clinicians typically choose to see between 15 and 35 clients per week to meet their goals.
Non-Exclusivity: You maintain the absolute right to operate an independent professional business entity separate from the Company and work in other settings.
No Company-Provided Training: We do not provide clinical training or instructions regarding client treatment. As an independently licensed clinician, represent that you already possess specialized expertise and advanced clinical competencies.
No Performance Evaluations: The practice does not conduct professional performance evaluations or administrative reviews of your career or character. Practice oversight is strictly limited to verifying contractual compliance, data security, and adherence to state law and licensing standards.
Core Standards
Provide high-quality individual, couples, or family therapy (in-office or via telehealth).
Maintain timely, accurate, and complete clinical records.
Maintain a current Texas clinical license (Independent LMFT, LPC, or LCSW) and an active Professional Liability Insurance policy.
Compensation
Compensation is fee-for-service, paid twice monthly based on completed sessions. Invoicing is automated and streamlined electronically upon the completion and finalization of the session note within the EHR system.
Competitive Per-Session Fees: You will receive a negotiated contract fee for each completed, invoiced therapy session (typically between $56 and $73 per session).
Weekend Incentives: Enhanced premium fees are available to account for the higher demand of in-person weekend sessions rendered within your chosen availability.
Late Cancellations & No-Shows: Contractors are compensated a designated flat service fee for client no-shows or late cancellations, provided the occurrence is documented.
Clinical Discretionary Adjustments: You retain absolute clinical autonomy to directly negotiate reduced private-pay fees with select clients and to offer pro-bono sessions at your discretion.
Ancillary Administrative Income: Mutually agreed-upon flat fees are available for optional, non-clinical tasks performed outside of standard sessions, such as specialized administrative case management requested by the client (e.g., letter-writing, form completion).
Tax & Expense Notice: As an independent business entity, you assume full responsibility for your own operational expenses (including your laptop, mobile phone, virtual home therapy space, continuing education, licensing fees, and professional liability insurance) and bear the sole financial risk of profit or loss. All compensation is reported annually via IRS Form 1099. In alignment with independent contractor standards, the practice does not withhold taxes or provide worker's compensation or unemployment insurance.
