Getting Hired:
A 4-Session Career Lab for Therapists
You know how to be a therapist. But knowing how to find, evaluate, and land the right therapy job is an entirely different skill set.
Learn how to stand out as a candidate, interview with confidence, evaluate group practices, and find a workplace where you can actually thrive.
Four sessions | $97 | Live Mondays at noon CT
Graduate school taught you how to be a clinician.
It probably didn’t teach you how to find a good therapy job.
What’s a reasonable caseload? Is that compensation structure actually good? Where are your referrals supposed to come from? What happens when clients cancel? What should you ask about supervision? Benefits? Marketing expectations?
And how can you tell whether a practice that sounds great in an interview is actually a healthy place to work?
Getting Hired demystifies the group practice hiring process so you can approach your job search as an informed professional.

-
Getting Your Foot in the Door
Resumes, Applications & Standing Out

The Interview
Showing Up as a Clinician Employers Want to Hire
Learn what employers are really trying to understand during an interview, how to talk about your clinical experience with confidence and humility, what questions to expect, and what you should be asking them. Plus, we’ll practice with live mock interviews and feedback.
-
Choosing the Right Practice
You’re Interviewing Them Too
Learn how to evaluate compensation, W-2 versus 1099 arrangements, caseload expectations, referrals, benefits, supervision, cancellations, productivity, workplace culture, leadership, marketing expectations, and more.
-
Getting the Offer & Building Your Career
Follow-Up, Negotiation, Networking & What Comes Next
Navigate follow-up, rejection, job offers, negotiation, and accepting or declining an offer professionally. Then we’ll zoom out and talk about building the relationships, specialization, referral network, and reputation that support a sustainable career.
This isn’t just interview practice
The goal isn’t simply to help you get hired.
It’s to help you make a better decision about where you want to be hired.
You’re not just learning how to make yourself appealing to employers. You’re learning how to evaluate them, ask better questions, understand how group practices actually operate, and recognize the conditions you need to do good clinical work without burning yourself out.
Sarah Buino, LCSW, spent nearly a decade building and leading Head/Heart Therapy, a Chicago group practice, before moving into consulting with therapists and group practice leaders.
