Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)Alpenglow Behavioral Health — Anchorage, Alaska

Salary: $60,000–$70,000 per year, depending on experience and desired work hours

Alpenglow Behavioral Health is seeking an independently licensed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to join our outpatient psychiatry and behavioral health practice in Anchorage.

This is a full-time W-2 position designed for a clinician who wants to provide high-quality therapy in a collaborative private-practice environment without the administrative burden of running a practice.

Our practice is associated with psychiatrists, a physician assistant, and a LPC. We value collaboration while giving clinicians the autonomy to practice within their own areas of expertise.

The Position

The LCSW will provide approximately 25–30 patient encounters per week within a 40-hour work week.

The remaining work time is protected for:

• Clinical documentation
• Care coordination
• Consultation
• Treatment planning
• Professional development
• Other administrative responsibilities

We DO NOT expect therapists to fill every available hour with patient appointments. Our goal is to maintain a sustainable workload that allows clinicians to provide thoughtful, high-quality care.

Flexible Schedule

Your schedule can be structured around your preferences. Options may include:

• Four 8-hour workdays
• Five 6–7-hour workdays
• Other mutually agreed-upon schedules

No evening or weekend hours are expected.

You will have a dedicated private office and all of the basic infrastructure needed to practice, including computer, phone, internet, printer, and other office resources.

Patient Population

Our referral base includes both children and adults. The therapist will have flexibility to develop a patient population that fits their interests, experience, and clinical strengths.

Experience with children and adolescents is preferred but not required.

Common presenting concerns include:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• ADHD
• OCD
• Autism and neurodevelopmental concerns
• Behavioral and emotional difficulties
• Family and relationship concerns
• Adjustment and life-transition issues
• Other common outpatient mental health concerns

The position may include individual and/or family therapy, depending on the clinician's interests, training, and patient needs.

A Different Kind of Therapy Position

This is intentionally not a high-volume community mental health position.

We believe therapists do their best work when they have enough time to develop meaningful therapeutic relationships with their patients. Our goal is to build a sustainable practice focused on quality of care rather than maximizing patient volume.

You will NOT be responsible for:

• Building your own practice
• Finding your own patients
• Billing or collecting payments
• Insurance credentialing
• Insurance claims
• Marketing
• Managing an office
• Hiring administrative staff
• Managing practice technology
• Handling collections

Alpenglow Behavioral Health provides the administrative infrastructure and support staff so you can focus on your patients.

Collaborative Clinical Environment

You will work alongside psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, a Physician Assistant, and a LPC.

Our providers communicate and collaborate when clinically appropriate, allowing patients to receive coordinated care within the same practice.

The practice also provides general clinical consultation for independently licensed clinicians.

This is an opportunity to work alongside other behavioral health professionals without sacrificing the autonomy and flexibility that make private practice appealing.

Compensation & Benefits

• $60,000–$70,000 annual W-2 salary, depending on experience
• Approximately 25–30 patient encounters per week
• 40-hour work week with protected documentation and administrative time
• Flexible scheduling
• No evening or weekend requirements
• 15 paid vacation days
• Paid sick leave
• Select federal holidays off
• Health insurance stipend designed to help cover an individual health insurance exchange plan
• 401(k) with employer matching
• $2,000 per year in educational loan reimbursement after 12 months, with no lifetime cap
• Employer-paid professional malpractice insurance
• Employer-paid professional licensing and renewal expenses
• CEUs and conference expenses covered with prior employer approval
• Dedicated private office
• Computer, phone, internet, printer, and other office infrastructure provided
• Billing and insurance credentialing handled by the practice
• Administrative and support staff provided
• No requirement to generate your own patient panel
• Sign-on incentive may be available and can be discussed during the hiring process

401(k) Employer Match

Alpenglow Behavioral Health provides a Safe Harbor matching contribution.

The practice matches:

• 100% of the first 1% of your salary that you contribute
• 50% of the next 5% that you contribute

An employee who contributes 6% of their salary would therefore receive an employer contribution of 3.5% of salary.

QualificationsRequired

• Current independent Alaska LCSW license
• Master's degree in Social Work
• Ability to provide outpatient psychotherapy independently
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Commitment to ethical, patient-centered clinical care
• Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary behavioral health practice

Preferred

• Experience working with children and/or adolescents
• Experience working with families
• Experience treating anxiety and depression
• Experience working with ADHD and/or neurodevelopmental disorders
• Experience in an outpatient private-practice setting

We are open to clinicians with different areas of expertise. We are interested in finding the right clinical fit rather than requiring a rigid list of specialties.
