About Kolmac
Kolmac Integrated Behavioral Health specializes in evidence-based mental health and substance use treatment. We operate on the belief that when clinicians feel supported, patients get better outcomes. That means realistic caseloads, collaborative teams, and leadership that listens.
We're expanding our mental health programs and looking for a skilled, compassionate therapist ready to do some of the most meaningful clinical work of their career.
What the Role Looks Like Day-to-Day
As a Mental Health Therapist at Kolmac, you will be at the center of patient care—building strong therapeutic relationships and delivering high-quality, evidence-based treatment. You'll hold a blend of individual and group therapy, approximately 50–65% of your time in direct patient care with adults (and some adolescents). The rest is split across documentation, treatment team collaboration, and case management.
Your core clinical responsibilities:
Deliver individual and group psychotherapy using CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches
Lead process, psychoeducational, and skills-based groups focused on emotional regulation, coping, and mental wellness
Conduct comprehensive mental health assessments and level-of-care determinations
Develop and maintain person-centered, trauma-informed treatment plans
Collaborate with psychiatrists, nurses, and peers in interdisciplinary team meetings and case consultations
Support patients in understanding their diagnoses and building insight for long-term recovery
Provide care coordination with families, referral sources, and external providers
Complete clinical documentation accurately and on time
Who We're Looking For
Required:
Master's degree in counseling, Social Work, Marriage & Family Therapy, or related field
Strong working knowledge of CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma- informed care
Minimum 2 years of direct clinical experience providing mental health treatment
Comfort using Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
Commitment to ethical, patient-centered care and professional growth
Active Lincensure:
LGPC, LMSW, LCPC, LCSW, LCSW-C in Maryland
LGPC, LGSW, LPC, LISW, LICSW in Washington, DC
LSW, LCSW, LPC in Pennsylvania
LMSW, LSATP, LPC, LCSW in Virginia
Clinicians with consistent group census and strong engagement routinely bring total compensation to $85,000–$100,000+.
We believe you should understand how you'll earn before you apply — here's how it works: your base covers individual sessions and core clinical duties; the incentive layer rewards group facilitation and patient retention. High performers with full group rosters typically reach or exceed $100K.
Benefits Include:
Caseloads that don't burn you out. We cap direct care at 50–65% for a reason. You'll have time to document, consult, and actually think.
Real interdisciplinary collaboration. You'll work alongside psychiatrists, nurses, and peer support specialists — not in a silo.
Leadership that has clinical roots. Our program directors carry clinical backgrounds. When you raise a concern, you're talking to someone who gets it.
Growth as we grow. We're actively expanding our mental health programming, which means pathways into leadership, supervision, and specialty tracks for the right clinicians.
Mission-driven, not metrics-driven. We measure success through clinical outcomes — patient retention, program completion, and transitions of care — not session counts.
If this sounds like the environment where you do your best work, we'd like to hear from you.
Submit your resume and a brief note on your clinical approach. We review applications on a rolling basis and aim to respond within one week.
