Join the Team

At Create Balance Counseling, we’re building a practice where therapists can do meaningful work.

We provide high-quality care to individuals, couples, and families—and are actively expanding our offerings through wellness workshops and community-based services. We’re equally committed to creating a supportive, sustainable environment for the clinicians who make that work possible.

We’re currently hiring two therapists to join our collaborative team in Hinsdale.

What makes this role different:

  • A sustainable, manageable caseload (we work with you to find the right balance)

  • Flexibility in scheduling and autonomy in your clinical work

  • A genuinely supportive team environment—consultation, collaboration, and connection are part of the culture

  • Administrative and referral support so you can focus on therapy, not logistics

  • A practice that prioritizes clinician wellbeing, not just productivity

  • Opportunities to contribute to or develop workshops, groups, or specialized offerings based on your interests

Who we’re looking for:

  • Master’s or doctoral degree in counseling, social work, psychology, or related field

  • Licensed or license-eligible in Illinois (LPC, LCPC, LSW, LCSW, LMFT, PsyD, PhD, etc.)

  • Strong clinical skills and ability to build rapport with diverse clients

  • Commitment to growth, learning, and ethical care

  • Private practice experience is a plus, but not required

  • Creative arts therapists (ATR, DMT, MT-BC) are strongly encouraged to apply

Our ideal candidate:

  • Has a genuine passion for ongoing clinical growth and development

  • Feels comfortable working across the lifespan

  • Practices from an eclectic, integrative approach—drawing from evidence-based treatments alongside relational, psychodynamic, and systems perspectives

  • Values thoughtful, individualized care and sees therapy as both art and science

  • Is interested in being part of a connected, collaborative team—we are actively building community both within our practice and for our clients, including the development of wellness workshops and group offerings

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Compensation range: $50–$80 per clinical hour, depending on experience and licensure

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • Paid time off

  • 401(k) with matching

  • Short- and long-term disability insurance

  • CE stipend and ongoing professional development support

  • Access to supervision and consultation

A note for therapists:
We know many clinicians are coming from high-demand or burnout-heavy environments. This role is designed to be different—supportive, flexible, and sustainable over the long term.
