Full-time clinician salaries generally range from $90,000–$110,000 depending on client load.

Many companies prefer to hire therapists as contractors in order to protect their financial planning and liability. At Edify, clinicians are W-2 employees. As such, we pay for training, licensing, office-related expenses, equipment, and the other expenses and employment taxes associated with the work. We also provide corporate liability insurance and reimburse clinicians for their individual professional liability insurance.

We provide billing and scheduling, though you will do the coding and notes, of course! Clients can call our billing/scheduling local human (Caroline) all day and get our 100% human 24/7 answering service when she's away.

Vacation time includes holy days of obligation and four weeks of flexible PTO.

We provide a retirement plan with 3% matching through our SIMPLE IRA to full-time and part-time employees.

We provide full-family dental and vision benefits through Delta Dental to both full-time and part-time employees.

We also provide various other tax-free benefits, such as education expenses, student debt assistance, and vehicle or meal benefits depending upon the needs of the position.

Clinicians become members of the Catholic Psychotherapy Association, with membership and conference expenses covered as part of their employment. Continuing education support is also provided.

At this time there is no ethically available option to us for providing health care coverage. We encourage employees to join health share plans, and we have adjusted our salary schedule upward to help ensure these are affordable. There are pending laws that might enable this to become an employer-paid expense in the future, and if that occurs Edify will make that change.

A commitment of our nonprofit is to provide an income suitable to family life. As such, our Board of Directors reviews salaries annually with a goal of paying full-time employees the median family income of their county.

We rely on a mixture of donations, insurance reimbursement, and cash pay to make this work. A mental health ambassador is employed specifically to work on fundraising and sponsorships. Depending upon your position, you may also become involved in some fundraising activities.

We also believe in the principles of solidarity in Catholic social teaching in how we build a company. For this reason, we are a nonprofit. There isn't an owner, manager, or director somewhere profiting off your work. Among clinicians, we all have the same income structure. Your supervisor will have fewer client hours because part of his or her work is overseeing and helping you.

If the company has extra money, it is always directed by the Board toward growth of the company, improvement of employee benefits, or reduction of rates to expand access to care during its annual review.

The result is a somewhat unusual mental health practice: our goal is not to maximize the amount collected from each clinician. Our goal is to build a sustainable organization in which clinicians can support their families while providing excellent care to Catholics and Christians across the income spectrum, including Medicaid and other lower-income clients.
