Montgomery County Counseling Center is more than a place to practice therapy. It’s a place where clinicians collaborate, continue to grow, and support one another while providing exceptional care. If you’re a licensed therapist looking for a practice where your clinical skills, professional growth, and relationships are valued, we’d love to hear from you.
Clinical Expertise We Value
We are always interested in connecting with clinicians who bring expertise, or a genuine enthusiasm for developing expertise, in one or more of the following approaches:
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Other evidence-based treatment approaches
Licensed clinical social workers, professional counselors, psychologists, and marriage and family therapists are encouraged to apply.
What Holds Our Team Together in a Profession Centered on Holding Others
As therapists, we spend our days showing up for others. That’s why we’re intentional about creating a workplace where therapists feel connected, valued, and equipped to do meaningful work while caring for themselves and one another.
Our five core values — authenticity, connection, integrity, reciprocity, and stability — are the foundation of how we work together everyday and especially when the work is challenging and uncertain.
These values aren’t just aspirational. They shape how we support one another, navigate challenges, make decisions, and build a culture where accountability and empathy go hand in hand. Together, they create a foundation that allows our team and those we support to experience the very best of what therapy can offer.
Why Therapists Choose MCCC
Joining a practice is about more than finding a job. It’s about finding a place where you can grow, collaborate, and do meaningful work alongside people who genuinely support one another. Expand the sections below to learn more about our culture, support, benefits, and what it’s like to be part of the MCCC team.
At MCCC, collaboration is part of our everyday work. Because we take a systemic approach to care, it’s common for one clinician to work with an individual while another supports parents, partners, siblings, or other family members. We regularly consult with one another, share perspectives, and celebrate successes together, creating better outcomes for clients while fostering a connected, supportive team.
Whether you’re just beginning your career or have years of clinical experience, we’re committed to supporting your continued growth.
Provisionally licensed clinicians receive free weekly supervision from MCCC’s Clinical Director Sara Varga. Licensed clinicians have ongoing access to consultation and support from both Sara and Executive Director Laura Goldstein.
New team members also participate in quarterly check-ins during their first year, and throughout the year we offer in-house trainings and discussion groups eligible for Category A or B CEUs.
We think clinicians do their best work when they’re working with clients and concerns they’re genuinely passionate about. We provide a steady stream of referrals and thoughtfully match new clients based on your interests, experience, and professional goals. As your expertise grows, we’ll continue supporting you in building a caseload that reflects the work you enjoy most.
We believe supporting therapists means investing in them. MCCC clinicians are W-2 employees who receive competitive compensation, paid time off, health benefits, a 401(k) with employer matching, CEU reimbursement, and opportunities for continued professional and financial growth.
Have an idea for a therapy group, workshop, community program, or new clinical initiative? We want to hear it. We encourage innovation and enjoy helping clinicians transform new ideas into meaningful services for the community.
Creating a welcoming, affirming environment is fundamental to who we are. MCCC is committed to equity, human rights, and social justice. We welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences, and we believe these values must be put into action every day through our clinical work, our conversations, our policies, and our physical environment.
Our Rockville office was intentionally designed to feel more like a living room than a traditional therapy suite. Every office has windows and is thoughtfully furnished to create a warm, welcoming environment for both clients and clinicians. Coffee, tea, and water are always available—small touches that help make the office feel comfortable and inviting.
We believe in the value of in-person therapy and strive to provide it whenever it’s clinically appropriate. At the same time, we recognize that flexibility benefits both clients and clinicians. Our hybrid model combines in-person care with telehealth, allowing us to create schedules that support client needs while promoting a healthy, sustainable work-life balance for our team.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for licensed clinicians who are collaborative, communicative, and committed to providing exceptional, evidence-based care. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, maintains healthy professional boundaries, and values ongoing learning and collaboration.
Candidates must hold an active Maryland license in a counseling-related profession. Licensure in Washington, D.C. or Virginia is a plus. Because inclusion is fundamental to our practice, all MCCC clinicians are expected to provide affirming, culturally responsive care to every client and family we serve.
