Licensed Therapist

Overview

Licensed Therapist (LPC, LCSW, or LMFT) – Senior Care
Part-Time (10 hours/week) | On-Site in Senior Care Communities - Woodstock/Acworth

Provide meaningful care where it matters most. Ascend Medical is seeking a warm, experienced therapist with a passion for working with older adults to join our Behavioral Health Team. This independent contractor position is ideal for a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who enjoys building relationships and delivering impactful care on-site within senior living and long-term care communities.

• Provide in-person therapy to older adult patients in assisted living communities (Woodstock and Acworth locations).
• Conduct psychosocial assessments and clinical diagnoses using DSM-5-TR.
• Develop and update personalized treatment plans every 90 days or as clinically indicated.
• Deliver evidence-based therapeutic interventions tailored to geriatric populations.
• Address mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment disorders, cognitive decline, and caregiver fatigue.
• Collaborate with on-site care teams, including medical providers and facility staff.
• Complete session documentation in Athena (EMR) within 24 hours of service delivery, in line with best practices and insurance reimbursement standards.
• Maintain accurate, timely clinical documentation and uphold all licensing standards.

• Role begins at 10 hours per week, split between two senior care communities: 5 hours at Woodstock and 5 hours at Acworth.
• There are opportunities to increase hours as patient panels and programs expand.
• This is a 1099 independent contractor position.
• Compensation is $81 per completed patient visit.
• To support onboarding and initial patient scheduling, there is a 90-day guaranteed minimum of 10 visits per week (equivalent to $810 weekly).
• After the 90-day onboarding period, compensation will transition to a per-visit model with potential to earn more as patient volume grows.

While this role is primarily in-person, some virtual follow-ups may be arranged as appropriate. As a contractor, this role does not include W-2 benefits such as health insurance or paid time off, but it offers substantial professional autonomy and work-life flexibility.

• Active licensure in Georgia (LPC, LCSW, or LMFT); additional state licensure is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience in geriatric care, ideally within senior living or skilled nursing environments.
• Experience facilitating group therapy sessions, with the ability to adapt approaches to diverse senior populations.
• Strong interpersonal skills and comfort working independently within on-site settings.
• Active professional liability insurance.
• Passion for whole-person, compassionate care.
