Compensation for Fully Licensed Therapists

At The Ship Group, we value the expertise and dedication of our fully licensed therapists. Compensation is structured to reflect experience and the type of services provided. Below is the compensation breakdown for fully licensed therapists:

Psychotherapy Session Rate:

Therapists are paid a flat rate based on experience, with rates ranging from $35 - $45 per billable hour for psychotherapy sessions.

Assessment Rate (CCA):

For completing Comprehensive Clinical Assessments (CCA), therapists will receive $40 - $50 per assessment, depending on experience.

We are committed to offering competitive rates that reflect the qualifications and contributions of our licensed professionals.

Compensation for Associate Licensed Therapists

At The Ship Group, we use a tiered pay structure to ensure that our associate licensed therapists are compensated fairly based on the number of hours worked each week. Understanding this structure will help you anticipate your earnings and how your paycheck is calculated.

Assessment Rate (CCA):

For every Comprehensive Clinical Assessment (CCA) you conduct, you will be paid between $35 - $40 per assessment, depending on your experience level. This will be a fixed payment per assessment, regardless of the number of hours worked.

Psychotherapy Session Rate:

Your rate for psychotherapy sessions is based on a tiered pay structure. This means that your hourly rate increases as you accumulate more session hours during the week. Here’s how it works:

Hours Worked (per week) Rate per Billable Hour:

First 5 hours $25/hour

5 -10 hours $30/hour

10 -15 hours $35/hour

15 - 20 hours $40/hour

Assessment Rate (CCA):

For each CCA you complete, you’ll receive $35 - $40, based on your experience.

Psychotherapy Session Rate:

Your first 5 hours of psychotherapy sessions in a week will be paid at $25/hour. If you work more than 5 hours, your next hours (5 - 10 hours) will be paid at $30/hour, and so on. As you accumulate more hours, your hourly rate increases.

Example:

If you work 12 hours in a week:

The first 5 hours will be paid at $25/hour.

The next 5 hours (5 - 10 hours) will be paid at $30/hour.

The remaining 2 hours (10 - 12 hours) will be paid at $35/hour.

By the end of the week, your pay will reflect the progressive rates based on how many hours you worked.

This structure allows you to earn more as you increase your session hours each week, providing a clear pathway for increased compensation based on your workload. If you have any questions about how your paycheck is calculated or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
