Hillcrest Psychotherapy celebrates the unique qualities that each clinician brings, and we prioritize independence and collaboration. At Hillcrest, therapists are encouraged to build their own schedules, expand on their clinical interests (and hopefully share with the team!), and have agency around building a caseload. We believe wholeheartedly in being receptive and responsive to clinicians’ needs in order to build a strong and united team. We are committed to a fee for service compensation rate that is well above the regional industry standard.

Hillcrest Psychotherapy is looking for culturally responsive licensed clinicians to join our group practice, which provides mental health services to clients across the entire life span with a specialization in treating children and adolescents. Our practice recognizes the many hills and valleys that exist in life and strives to provide warm, thoughtful, intentional, client centered treatment and care to those in need of support. We are looking to hire clinicians who are interested in office based therapy for clients of all ages including adults, emerging adults, children, and adolescents. There is the possibility of school based treatment opportunities as well.
When treating the child and adolescent populations, Hillcrest is known for its child centered play therapy and expressive arts approaches; both of which are implemented with a trauma focused lens. Nestled in the Emily Dickinson Historic District in downtown Amherst, the Hillcrest office spaces provide a sun filled, warm, peaceful environment with robust and intentionally designed play and art spaces. When Hillcrest offers support in schools, each clinician travels with a fully stocked and thoughtfully designed mobile play kit. Hillcrest prioritizes a collaborative work environment where therapists consult, share resources, and work together to build towards a thriving and successful clinical practice. With a focus on learning and growth, Hillcrest is committed to offering consistent group consultation as well as learning opportunities especially around implementing expressive arts interventions.
