Part-Time Couples & Relationship Therapist

Remote | 1099 Independent Contractor | $195+ per 90-Minute Session
Life Migration Therapy is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced Couples & Relationship Therapist to join our virtual boutique practice.
Life Migration Therapy is a trauma-responsive and culturally affirming psychotherapy practice rooted in liberation-oriented, decolonial, and culturally responsive approaches to care.
We believe relationships do not exist in a vacuum. Culture, race, migration, identity, trauma, attachment, family and intergenerational experiences, gender, sexuality, belonging, and power can all shape the ways people experience connection, conflict, intimacy, and healing.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a relational, culturally grounded, trauma-responsive clinician who wants to do depth-oriented couples work.
The right clinician understands that what presents as communication difficulties or relationship conflict may also hold stories of attachment, trauma, migration, cultural expectations, racialized experiences, family-of-origin dynamics, intergenerational patterns, identity, and belonging.
You approach these complexities with curiosity, cultural humility, and respect rather than assumptions.
You are LGBTQ+ affirming and comfortable working with clients across diverse cultures, identities, families, and relationship structures.
What You’ll Do
* Provide virtual psychotherapy to couples and relationship clients
* Assess relationship concerns and collaboratively develop treatment goals
* Use evidence-informed couples and relational approaches to address communication, conflict, intimacy, attachment, trust, and other relationship concerns
* Integrate trauma-responsive, culturally affirming, and systemic perspectives into clinical work
* Maintain timely, ethical, and clinically appropriate documentation
* Maintain confidentiality and comply with applicable ethical, professional, and telehealth requirements
What We’re Looking For
* Active, unrestricted independent clinical license in Maryland OR Washington, DC, plus at least one additional U.S. state/jurisdiction
* LMFT, LCSW/LCSW-C/LICSW, LCPC/LPC/LMHC, or state equivalent
* Minimum 2 years of clinical experience
* Demonstrated experience providing couples and relationship therapy
* Formal training in at least one established couples modality, such as EFT/EFCT, Gottman Method, Imago, RLT, or another established couples-focused approach
* Grounding in liberation-oriented, decolonial, culturally affirming, and/or anti-oppressive psychotherapy
* LGBTQ+ affirming practice
* Professional liability/malpractice insurance
* Capacity to accept evening and/or weekend clients
Final candidates will complete applicable background screening, license verification, and credentialing requirements.
Compensation & Practice Support
Clinicians receive 60% of collected session fees.
Our standard 90-minute couples session begins at $325, resulting in clinician compensation beginning at $195 per completed 90-minute session. Session fees may be higher based on clinician experience, specialization, licensure jurisdiction, and applicable market rates.
We anticipate supporting an initial referral volume of approximately 4 couples per week, depending on referral volume, client-clinician fit, clinician availability, and demand, with the opportunity to grow.
Life Migration Therapy provides:
* Administrative and practice support
* Marketing and referral support
* Complimentary monthly clinical consultation
* $500 annual professional-development stipend after 12 months
* A fully virtual, private-pay practice environment
* A culture that values clinical autonomy, cultural humility, thoughtful clinical work, and sustainable caseloads
