Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate

Our Philosophy 

The conditions your clients need to heal are the same conditions you need to do this work well. 

That belief is at the heart of Live Your Life Counseling. 

We’re grounded in a clear philosophy of healing. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken or forcing yourself to move on. It’s about loosening the grip of past experiences that make life feel constricted. It’s about helping people feel safer, more grounded, and less driven by survival so they have more freedom, more choice, and more access to the lives they want to live. 

That philosophy doesn’t stop with our clinical work; it shapes how we run our practice. 

We believe clinicians do their best work when they aren’t chronically overextended or living in survival mode themselves. We keep caseloads manageable and compensate our clinicians fairly. We actively resist the hustle culture that treats burnout as a badge of honor. A clinician who is exhausted and overwhelmed can’t consistently offer safety, presence, and care. If those conditions are essential for healing, then it’s our responsibility to create them for the people doing the work. 

We also believe that your long‑term growth matters. This role is meant to support your development, not rush it or narrow it. If your time here helps you build confidence, clinical skill, professional judgment, and a clearer sense of who you are as a clinician, we see that as a success, for you and for the people you’ll go on to serve throughout your career. 

The Role 

We’re looking for a pre‑licensed clinician working toward LPC licensure in Colorado to join our small, collaborative team. No post‑graduate clinical experience is required. 

You’ll carry a telehealth caseload of adult individual clients, with strong clinical, administrative, and supervisory support as you build confidence and competence in the role. The minimum expectation is 24 completed client hours per week. In practice, most clinicians book around 28 sessions to account for typical cancellations. You have control over your schedule and how you structure your week to meet this goal. 

We’re committed to making care as accessible as possible, including accepting insurance. That means you’ll work with a broad, varied adult caseload across different backgrounds, life circumstances, and clinical presentations. 

Weekly individual supervision is included at no cost to you. All supervision time is paid at your admin rate and counts toward your required licensure hours. 

You’ll also have access to an AI‑assisted note‑taking tool at no cost to you. We approach AI thoughtfully and ethically, with attention to client privacy, clinical integrity, and skill‑building, and we support our clinicians in developing an intentional, responsible approach to its use. 

Compensation 

$35 per completed client hour, regardless of insurance mix 

Automatic admin pay built into every session 

For each client hour you complete, you’re automatically paid an additional 15 minutes at $25/hour. This compensation is built into your pay; you don’t need to track or justify it. It’s our way of honestly accounting for the work that surrounds sessions but isn’t visible inside them: documentation, scheduling, and client coordination. 

Weekly supervision (1 hour) and quarterly all‑staff meetings are also paid time. 

At the minimum caseload of 24 client hours per week, total gross annual compensation is approximately $58,000 - $60,000, including pay, benefits, and employer contributions. Clinicians who choose to carry a higher caseload will earn more. 

Benefits 

Paid Time Off 

Two weeks of paid vacation 

Six paid holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas 

Paid sick leave accrued at 1 hour per 30 hours worked, in accordance with Colorado law 

Retirement 

Automatic 3% employer 401(k) contribution, whether or not you contribute yourself 

Health Insurance 

Health insurance reimbursement through a Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangement (QSEHRA) 

We contribute $400/month, which can be used for eligible insurance premiums and most out‑of‑pocket medical, dental, vision, prescription, and mental health costs, provided you have qualifying health coverage 

Professional Development 

$500/year reimbursement for continuing education, trainings, and licensing fees 

What We’re Looking For 

Credentials 

Master’s degree in counseling or a related field 

Current or pending Colorado LPCC registration 

Eligible for and committed to completing supervised hours toward LPC licensure 

Comfort working in a telehealth environment 

Who You Are 

You’re early in your career and clear‑eyed about that. You’re eager to grow, open to feedback, and see supervision as a meaningful resource rather than a formality. You don’t feel pressure to have everything figured out yet—and you’re intentional about learning as you go. 

At the same time, you know you have something real to offer clients. You care deeply about doing this work well, and you’re looking for an environment that supports thoughtful development rather than rushing you toward independence. 

You’re beginning to understand your own limits and take them seriously. You recognize that learning to set boundaries is part of becoming a strong, sustainable clinician—and you’re committed to protecting your well‑being alongside your clients’. 

You’re comfortable working with a diverse adult client population and share our belief that quality mental health care should be as accessible as possible. 

You’ll thrive in a small, collaborative environment. You value autonomy, and you also show up reliably for the team around you.
