Staff Clinician
Gofman Therapy and Consulting • Westport, CT • Independent Contractor
About the Practice
Gofman Therapy and Consulting is a specialty practice based in Westport, Connecticut, providing evidence-based treatment for OCD, anxiety, eating disorders, and chronic pain to adolescents, young adults, and professionals.
We are growing intentionally, and our goal is to build a lean, high-quality group practice where clinicians can do meaningful work, develop real specialty competency, and be part of a collaborative environment that actually supports them. This is not a high-volume model. We are looking for clinicians who want to grow with us.
The Opportunity
This is an independent contractor position with a clear pathway to a full-time role for the right fit. You will build a caseload at a sustainable pace, with the expectation of growing toward 10–15 clinical hours per week. You will have access to regular case consultation — particularly around ERP and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) — and the support of a practice that prioritizes clinical excellence over volume.
This role is in-person at our Westport, CT office. We believe the in-person environment is part of what makes the clinical work and the team culture work.
What You’ll Do
Provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults using evidence-based modalities, with a primary focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety
Work with clients experiencing chronic pain, either with existing competency in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) or with a genuine interest and commitment to developing it — we will support your training
Build a caseload that grows toward 10–15 sessions per week, with flexibility in how you structure your schedule
Participate in regular case consultation with the practice founder and, over time, with peer clinicians as the team grows
Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
Collaborate on treatment planning and coordinate with outside providers where clinically appropriate
What We’re Looking For
Connecticut licensure required (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or doctoral equivalent); independently licensed clinicians strongly preferred; associate-licensed candidates with strong ERP training and experience will be considered
Master’s or doctoral degree in counseling, social work, psychology, or a related field
Demonstrated training and experience in ERP for OCD; experience across the anxiety spectrum a strong plus
Existing background in chronic pain treatment, OR a clear and motivated interest in developing PRT competency
Comfortable and experienced working with both adolescent and adult populations
Strong clinical instincts, good boundaries, and the ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively
A practice philosophy that aligns with evidence-based care and ongoing professional development
Compensation & Structure
This is an independent contractor arrangement. Compensation is structured as a percentage split of session fees — specific terms will be discussed during the interview process. This position offers a genuine pathway to a full-time employed role as the practice grows and the fit is established.
Why Join Us
Specialty-focused work — you will treat the kinds of cases that drew you to this field, not a general caseload of whatever comes through the door
Real consultation and support — regular case consultation is built into how we operate, not an afterthought
Room to grow — we are expanding deliberately, and early team members will have the opportunity to shape what this practice becomes
Sustainable pace — we protect clinician capacity; you will not be pressured toward an unsustainable caseload
Private pay model — no insurance billing, no claim denials, no prior authorizations
