Who We’re Hiring for In-Person Roles in Wasilla
Our Wasilla office offers in-person outpatient roles for licensed and pre-licensed mental health professionals who want to work within a collaborative private practice setting. These positions are based on-site in Wasilla and serve clients from across the Mat-Su Valley, including Wasilla and Palmer.
Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC)
Provide in-person outpatient therapy to individuals, couples, or families, depending on clinical interests and experience. This role is well suited for counselors who value ethical caseloads, professional autonomy, and the structure of a supportive team environment.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) and Licensed Master Social Workers (LMSW)
Provide in-person psychotherapy within an outpatient private practice setting. LMSWs who are nearing licensure receive structured supervision and mentorship while building clinical skills and progressing toward independent practice.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT)
Work in person with individuals, couples, and families, with opportunities to focus on relational and systems-based approaches. This role supports therapists who value collaboration, continuity of care, and thoughtful outpatient work.
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP)
Provide in-person psychiatric evaluation and medication management in collaboration with therapists and clinical staff. This role emphasizes integrated outpatient care and consistent clinical coordination within the Wasilla office.
Psychologists (PsyD or PhD)
Provide in-person therapy and, where appropriate, psychological assessment services based on training and scope of practice. This role is well suited for psychologists seeking outpatient work within a stable, Alaska-based private practice.
Living and Working in the Wasilla and Palmer Area
The Wasilla and Palmer area sits at the center of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and functions as a single, connected community for work and daily life. Many clinicians live in Palmer, Wasilla, or nearby towns and commute locally within the Valley.
This region offers access to essential services including schools, healthcare, local businesses, and retail, while remaining within a reasonable drive of Anchorage. For clinicians, this makes it possible to maintain a stable professional routine without the congestion or cost associated with larger metro areas.
Living in the Valley also means easy access to outdoor space, seasonal recreation, and a slower pace of life outside of work. For mental health professionals considering a move or a return to Alaska, the Palmer–Wasilla area offers a practical balance of livability, community, and proximity to nature without sacrificing day-to-day convenience.
Compensation, Flexibility, and Professional Support
Competitive Compensation with Growth Over Time
Compensation for in-person roles in our Wasilla office reflects licensure, clinical experience, and time commitment. As caseload and availability increase, earning potential grows accordingly. Roles are structured to support sustainable outpatient practice rather than short-term productivity pressure.
Flexible Scheduling with Clear Expectations
Clinicians have meaningful input into how their schedules are structured, including session days, hours, and planned time off. Scheduling expectations are designed to support consistency in client care while allowing flexibility that promotes long-term sustainability.
Collaborative, Clinician-First Team Environment
You will work alongside experienced counselors, therapists, psychiatric providers, and supervisors within a collaborative private practice setting. Professional relationships are grounded in mutual respect, clear communication, and shared responsibility for client care.
Streamlined Administrative Systems
Scheduling, billing, client onboarding, and insurance coordination are handled through established systems and dedicated administrative support. Documentation expectations are clear and reasonable, allowing clinicians to focus their time and energy on clinical work rather than operational tasks.
Commitment to Evidence-Informed Care
Clinical quality is a priority across our practices. Providers are encouraged to use research-informed, ethical approaches while exercising sound clinical judgment. Treatment decisions are guided by best practices rather than rigid protocols or productivity quotas.
Opportunities for Professional Development
We believe strong clinicians continue to grow over time. Professional development and continuing education are supported as part of maintaining high standards of care across our teams. Providers are encouraged to pursue learning opportunities that align with their clinical interests and long-term professional goals.
A Professional Path Forward
