Licensed Mental Health Therapist

Cognitive Clarity Counseling is a small private practice located in Apex, North Carolina, focused on connection and positive client experience.

We believe the best clinical outcomes come from clinicians who have a clear sense of identity in their work—whether that’s a population, modality, or lived-experience-informed specialty.

We are not a high-volume “see anyone for anything” practice. We are a specialty-aligned, depth-oriented practice that prioritizes meaningful clinical work over productivity-based churn.

Our clinicians tend to specialize in areas such as:

• ADHD and executive functioning support
• Neurodivergent populations (adult or adolescent)
• Anxiety and high-functioning anxiety
• Trauma-focused therapy and EMDR
• Adolescents and young adult populations
• Somatic, integrative, or experiential approaches
• Emerging or non-traditional modalities (hypnotherapy, energy-informed work, etc.)

We welcome clinicians who bring a defined lens, modality, or passion into their clinical identity.

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking a clinician who:

• Has a clearly defined clinical niche or area of passion
• Enjoys depth-oriented, relational clinical work
• Values autonomy and professional independence
• Is comfortable building and maintaining a consistent caseload over time
• Wants to be part of a small, intentional, values-driven practice
• Is open to working in office at least two days of the week until 6:30pm to accommodate after work/school hours.

Minimum Requirements:

• Fully licensed in North Carolina (LCSW, LCMHC, LMFT, or equivalent) preferred
• Associate-level clinicians considered if they bring strong life experience and/or clinical direction in the form of passion.
• Ability to work independently without in-house supervision (external supervision is the clinician’s responsibility unless otherwise arranged)
• Comfortable with telehealth and/or in-person sessions in Apex, NC

What Makes This Practice Different

This is not a traditional group practice model. We prioritize:

• Clinician autonomy in clinical style and specialty focus
• Low administrative friction
• Flexible, sustainable caseload expectations
• Clinician wellbeing

We are especially interested in clinicians who feel called to a specific population or modality—not generalists trying to “do everything.”
