Therapist Fellow
Therapist / Postdoctoral Psychology Fellow — Telehealth Private Practice | New York Breakthrough Psychology | Part-time to Full-time | Remote
Breakthrough Psychology is a telehealth group practice led by Dr. Tanya Siff, PhD, a licensed psychologist with 25+ years of clinical experience. We are seeking provisionally licensed or fully licensed clinicians — including LMSW, MHC-LP, LMHC, LCSW, and CP-LP (postdoctoral psychology fellows) — to join our growing practice and build a meaningful telehealth caseload serving adult and adolescent clients in New York.
What makes this different
Insurance billing is handled through Headway's supervisory billing program — meaning provisionally licensed clinicians can see Aetna, Cigna, United, and Blue Cross patients from day one, billed under Dr. Siff's NPI. You do not need to be independently credentialed, you do not need to find your own clients, and you do not pay for supervision. This is a meaningful structural advantage over most private practice opportunities available to pre-licensed clinicians in New York.
What you'll do
See individual adult and adolescent clients via telehealth, with opportunity to grow to full-time as caseload develops. Complete progress notes and treatment plans through Headway's platform within 72 hours of each session. Participate in 1-2 hours of individual supervision per week with Dr. Siff via secure video. Develop treatment plans reviewed and co-signed by Dr. Siff. Evening and weekend availability is required — our clients are primarily working adults who need scheduling flexibility.
What we offer
Clinical training and supervision from Dr. Tanya Siff, PhD — a licensed psychologist trained at Adelphi University with 25+ years of expertise spanning anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders and binge eating, addiction and recovery, infertility, couples and relationship difficulties, adolescent concerns, and life transitions. Dr. Siff practices from a psychoanalytic and psychodynamic orientation and is trained in Imago relationship therapy. Her supervision style is warm, direct, and intellectually serious — you will leave each session with deeper case conceptualization skills, not just a checklist.
Compensation of $55–$70 per session (depending on insurance reimbursement rate) , paid per completed session. At a caseload of 20 sessions per week this annualizes to approximately $57,000–$72,000.
Fully remote — work from anywhere via secure telehealth. No office requirement, no commute.
What we're looking for
Current New York State licensure or provisional licensure (or provisional license eligible) in one of the following: LMSW, MHC-LP, LMHC, LCSW, or CP-LP. Postdoctoral applicants should have completed an APA-accredited doctoral program and internship. Genuine interest in psychodynamic and insight-oriented clinical work — you don't need to be a trained analyst, but you should be curious about what's underneath the presenting problem rather than focused solely on symptom management. Ability to work independently in a telehealth environment while remaining actively engaged in supervision.
