If I join the Desta team, will I be paid as a W-2 employee or as a 1099 contractor?

You will be paid as a W-2 employee, per session.

Does Desta provide training/consultations?

Yes! At Desta Therapy, we provide as needed training and consultation services, at no cost to our clinicians. These sessions are led by licensed clinical psychologists and other licensed mental health professionals, ensuring that our team stays up-to-date with the latest techniques and best practices in the field. This ongoing professional development is part of our commitment to delivering the highest quality care to our clients.

Is there a minimum time commitment?

At Desta Therapy, we ask for a minimum of 5 available spaces each week on your calendar for sessions.

Do you provide benefits?

As a new company founded in 2024, Desta Therapy is committed to providing valuable benefits to our team members. We recognize the hard work our clinicians do, and we are hopeful to add benefits in the future. Our goal is to take care of our team while supporting their growth and success.

Am I able to work in-person, online, or both?

Yes, we offer both in-office and virtual therapy options. We want our therapists to have as much flexibility as possible in managing their own schedules. For in-office therapy, scheduling will be coordinated based on the availability of space. This allows our clinicians to maintain work-life balance while providing high-quality care to clients.

Will I receive administrative support if needed?

Yes, absolutely. At Desta Therapy, we are here to support you. Jimmy, our Co-Founder and Managing Partner, works closely with all team members to ensure you have the resources and guidance you need to succeed. We believe in a collaborative approach and are committed to helping you thrive in your role.

Why should I work with Desta?

We are different! At Desta Therapy, we have a genuine and honest mission to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve. Our nonprofit, Desta Provisions, directly supports this mission by helping people access essential counseling services at reduced rates. We believe in doing the right thing and treating our therapists with the respect and honor they deserve. Above all, we value our clients and are committed to making a meaningful difference in their lives.

Can I choose what clients I see?

Yes. If, after a 15-minute consultation, you feel that a client is not the best fit for you, we trust your judgment. At Desta Therapy, we prioritize the therapeutic relationship and want you to work with clients where you can make the most impact. We will collaborate with you to help the client find a therapist who will best meet their needs, ensuring they get the right support.

Do I have to schedule intakes, handle billing, or do administrative work?

No, you do not have to handle any billing or administrative work at Desta Therapy. Additionally, our website allows potential clients to choose the therapist they feel is the best fit for them. If a client selects you, you'll review their request for a 15-minute (free) consultation. We want you to have the freedom and flexibility to manage your own intakes, and we provide training if needed. Scheduling an intake is a straightforward process that gives you full autonomy over your schedule and the clients you work with.

What E.M.R. do you use?

We use SimplePractice, which includes a HIPAA-compliant teletherapy platform. This ensures that all your sessions, whether in-person or online, are secure and meet privacy standards for your protection and peace of mind.

I'm a creative person. Can I incorporate my creativity into my work?

Yes! We are looking for creative, joyful, innovative, passionate, authentic, and driven people to join our team. We want to be unique and different!
